First Ever REAL Wii Modchip Arrives - CycloWiz!

It seems that Wiinja is already outdated even before its release. Fedex dropped a nice little gift for us today to review. Say hello to CycloWiz!



Here is what we know so far about this chip:

- Quicksolder (no wires required)
- Plays Wii Backups
- Plays GC Backups
- Play GC Homebrew
- Play GC Imports (swap needed)
- Built-in Audiofix (GC games using streaming are working flawlessly, no patch needed)
- DVD-R / DVD+R support
- Optional chip disable wire
- Stealth even when chip is enabled
- Multi-purpose LED

The chip is supposed to be shipped by the end of the week, so in fact this may be the first "real" Modchip to reach the market!

It looks like a very pro and easy to install solution! We're not sure Wiinja has built-in audiofix, but this is definitely a must-have feature. Expect a review soon, including a video of the installation process!

The teams' website is launching soon at Teamcyclops.com

"First Ever REAL Wii Modchip Arrives"


more like " First Ever REAL Wiinja Clone Arrives "

someone robbed wiinja of a few chips a couple weeks ago?? ha


heh it is just the wiinja on on a quicksolder pcb and a on off switch

no doubt it doesn't update either



let's see if this is the revenue maker for maxconsole based on how much they advertise it ( and after the anti0wiinja story posted earlier)

No spectacular features. I prefer the PIC-sized solution I guess..

i'm glad i ordered the wiinja already, this will take a while to come out, and i guess it will be more expensive then the wiinja chip.

A lot more thought has cleary gone into the design process. Its not just a Bish bosh of a standard pic chip with some hex flash code on it.

Which would you rather have???

Use your head mate, There is no comparison between this and the winja.

The winja isnt even a real mod. Theyre charging you for a bit of code.

I see that it has more features, but I don't see that it is able to be updated.
without that, if the big N decides to roll out an update, or include one in future games, you would have a useless chip in your Wii.

Are you sure the wiinja has built-in audiofix? It's not in the feature list.

I almost preorder mine but I don't want to have half of my GC game collection with audio not working, if I can avoid that... I will wait for this new CycloWiz!
