I'm thinking of getting a Wii, pre-installed this chip (D2CKey) is this chip is capable of reading all copy games out there (talking about Wii games). What could go wrong with it? Thanks. I'm not from US.
No, my desk is to the right of the bed, out of view of the camera. It just happens that the TV was infront of the bed, so that would be a good place to test instead of the floor without any room.
Compared to the pros who have exact wire lengths and do many of these a day? Of course.
It's over 30 wires on a SMT device, so of course it's not going to be pretty. Making it pretty is often a time-waster too, and time = money/cost. Regardless, doing one yourself is an impressive feat because it is a job for professionals.
It also helps to use flux paste and tin your 30gauge wire first and use the heat from the tip to pull solder to the joint. But practice first on a junk cdrom to get the feel first so you don't destroy your wii drive.
How about you search for yourself. Hell, a trusty google search of 'buy wiikey' came up with about 58,000 results. Now insted of being a dumbass and relying on everyone else, and sounding like and idiot, why don't don't you SEARCH and find one of the hundreds of places where wiikey's are sold. Idiot.
Wiikey and D2Ckey are NOT the same. D2CKey mod chips are ONLY for D2C chips. If you bought it only a month ago, it is your best bet that you do have a D2C chip. I chipped mine and it works fine but it took me about 20 hours to do it. If you are new to modding, either get a pro to install it or practice soldering for many hours before you even attempt to install a D2Ckey.
You obviously think I mod for a living. I don't. I just modded my own Wii and that's it. First time modding and succeeded. So I don't think taking 20 hours is so bad.
I am installing a D2Ckey for a friend. I have only a little bit of experience with soldering but I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. The thing is, I just opened the wii and realized how friggin tiny the legs of that chip are! they are like half a millimeter!!! Looks like a very hard job... I am wondering if you can give me a tip on what I should practice on before attempting this?
Hey m8. Make sure you have a VERY small tip soldering iron, some good quality resin core solder and a steady heand. I also reconmend soldering paste so the solder flows to the joint. Read up about SMD soldering, this should give you a good insight into soldering small things. GL
U cannot mod new wii because they cut 3 leads from the chip... unless you're an expert solderer (it's very hard to do). And then when that is done you have to be careful that the new upgrades from wii do not interfere. Once you mod, you're in dangerous waters.
so does the D2CKey work with the origanl wii consoles and with the wii consoles that are out now? does it allow you to play burnt copies of wii games?
yeah i deffinitely need a d2ckey and maybe get the new flexpcb, now i just need alot of patience and time.a nice vid tutorial would be a biiiigggg plus
I'm about to do this mod, and I have some 30 gauge wire and a 15 watt iron. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Lets just pray my hand is stable enough. I'm thinking of placing a toothpick in between the legs I'm soldering, that way if too much accidentally gets on, I can just lift the toothpick up, and resolder it.
Can you solder SMD without any problem at all? You should know that this is much more difficult than simple soldering. The risk for screwing something up beyond repair is very high.
toothpick does not work, needle doesnt even work too fat! I can't mod this sadly...untill they come out with a smaller solder iron or a solution to seperate the legs....i think my buddy uses thermal paste? no solder required gonna try that
i know a guy who installs a d2ckey within 9 minutes. (only the soldering part without disassembling the wii) that is amazing he says that is the record at the moment.
He is going to upload a video of the whole installation i think it would be interesting to see
Even I want to see this 9 min. install. It would be almost impossible. He cuts, strips, tins, and solders to all 31 legs in 9 minutes? That would mean he does one wire per 17 seconds (approximately; +/- one second). Seems almost impossible...

no need to solder now, just use wii-clip. only 5 minute install like Professional!!!!
mhz1000a 3 years ago
There was a video made by a person who messaged me about it not working. It's not like professionals because:
a) not soldered
b) higher fail rate (proper install has a fail rate of the chips)
c) a little less than installation, but no support or help from a live person
