3 more wires to solder on CycloWiz to support upgrading.

From the new install PDF for CycloWiz:

Introduction

Thank you for choosing CycloWiz !

The installation process consists of 5 solder points for the basic
installation, an optional wire to enable the Chip Disable functionality and
3 optional wires and a switch to enable the Upgradability functionality.

There is a small piece of sticker on the bottom side of the mod. Do not
remove it, it was put there to avoid any short-circuit in case bottom
soldermask gets scratched during the installation of the chip.

To open your console you’ll need a philips screwdriver and a triwing one.

What does it matter?

There are two options right now for the Wii.

Cyclowiz - Code can be changed, it's cheaper.

Wiinja - Code cannot be changed, it's more expensive.

If you can't figure out the best bang for your buck, too bad.

It's cheaper for the Cyclowiz in the USA.

When I looked at the distributor list for UK on teamcyclops and wiinja website both places in the UK sold the wiinja and the Cyclowiz for 29.95 each. No difference in price.

I always use 60/40 32 gauge i believe solder because that's what I have lying around, but you may wanna use thinner solder if possible. As far as wire, I like 30 gauge solid core insulated wire for stuff like this.

A few nice switches. I particularly like the idea of an LED switch, but they have three pins. Do they require another wire to power LED? In fact, alot have three pins. Whats that about? Is middle one non-compulsary?

The third prong is so you can have two (ON) settings. Like, the top and middle will be the active circuit when flipped up. When you flip it down, the middle and bottom will be the active circuit. Of course, if you don't have anything hooked up to the bottom, it breaks the circuit turning it off.

Well, it's something like that at least.
