ASSEMbler of ASSEMblergames (http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13652) 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
