ASSEMbler of ASSEMblergames has written a review of the Wiikey Nintendo Wii Modchip. The review is based on running homebrew applications and imports, not pirated games.
The wiikey offers the following features:
- Direct boot of wii backups
- Direct boot of GC backups
- Direct boot of homebrew in GC mode
- Supports all currently available console/drive versions
- Supports D2B chipsets
- Sophisticated (true) update mechanism via DVD (future proof, expect
- cool features to come)
- Direct boot of different NTSC region Wii games/backups on US and
- JAP consoles
- Partial support for NTSC region Wii games/backups on PAL consoles
- Boots different region GC games/backups (partially without swapping)
- Supports multi-disc games for BOTH Wii and Gamecube
- Supports DVD-R / true DVD+R and +RW support (no bitsetting required!)
- Improved readsettings for recordable media
- Built-in audio fix
- Supports fullsize 4GB discs for gamecube homebrew
- Stealth mode
- 512 byte EEPROM to store configuration
- Quicksolder interface - no wires required
- Unique disc backup application via sdcard
- Compact design, best quality components, rock solid high speed controller
- Professional ESD packing
- Recovery mode - Can recover from a bad flash
This could be very helpful for a ton of potential Nintendo Wii coders out there!

I have one installed in my wii it plays all of your console regions backups ( if you have a pal console it will play all pal backups ) though games from other regions quite alot of their games wont work on you console, every chip on the market soo there isnt any better chip in my opinion. But the wiikey team are somewhat unresponsive they promised that the chip would be upgradable but have yet to prove this and update news on their site very little. Though i still feel it was very worth the buy for playing gamecube homebrew and legit backups.
ps heres a list of region free compatibility
