Wiinja Mod Knocked for Six by Wii Hardware Design 'D2B'

There are reports circulating via the official Wiinja forums that there PIC based mod is not working on all Wii consoles. Wii units will either have a GC2-DMS chip or GC2-D2B chip, the latter hardware chip renders the Wiinja useless. Currently there is no external way of checking whether or not a Wii has which of the mentioned chipsets.

Ouch! That must have hurt for Wiinja!
Hope that the same doesn't go for the cyclowiz.
This is a real blow below the belt for wiinja, this and the no upgrade thing will make and certain death for the wiinja.

Could this GC2-D2B make the CycloWIZ also unusable?

Considering all 3 modchips are exactly the same code-wise (really, prove me wrong, there's no reason to believe otherwise), I'm sure it'll be the same story.

Upgradeability has nothing to do with this, if the chip doesn't work, but is upgradeable with a disc, the disc will not run cause the chip will not work. And if this true, I see absolutely no reason why it wouldn't be the same with Cycloshit and Wiikey, as they use all the same methods. So it's unfair to just tell this only about Wiinja, as this is the only one tested yet.

And now for the validity of this story, how many people exactly have this problem up till now? Just one or is it confirmed by others already?

i can see that only three points are soldred to the moherboard so maybe that's why that the modchip doesn't work

watch and see its diffrent points to solder

all the chips have the same code like said before
if u install the chip and it dont work in that wii how the hell u going to update the chip LOL thats great it will not keep that in mind

does the person that rls this know how to solder like said there is only 3 wires in the pic as soldered

we will all see in the next few days

This explains why CycloWiz have not posted install pics yet. They are probably scrambling to find out why their chip does not work like the others.

LOL!
Its another fu**ed Up Product from the NinjaTeam!
I thing its better when this Guys stop there devolpment!
The Ps2 Chip is Lame,the GC Project is not a really good and stable job,the DS Cards have in my eyes the same skills like Products from NeoTeam and the Wiinja is only LOL!


Tssss Wiinja WTF!??!

CycloWiIZzzZzzz wii´ll rock!

note: this information has not been confermed yet and its quite possiple that the CycloWiz may suffer from the same problem if this terns out to be real at all, but nothing has been confermed just yet

Just proves how much testing went into this. Of course how were they supposed to know?

please dont tell me this 'news' article was based off of this thread on the official wiinja forums...

sounds like it's very possible the guy just doesn't know how to install it properly. Oh well, I'm sure it will be cleared up soon.

I'm surprised though how fast MC jumped to post something negative from one guy's bad experience with the chip, I wonder why they would

this is soo dumb he was talking about how he pre wired his wii and the other guy was talking about watch out since some dvd roms dont read wii disc i know spanish im latino soo yeah i cant eblieve they said that thats a new low for maxconsole

i only see 3 wires on the picture he posted, better use 5 wires :P
