FALSE: (leading GER shop) says: "WiiKey DOES work with D2B chipsets!!!"

04:49 PM

ADMIN EDIT: THIS NEWS IS FALSE AND HAS BEEN TRANSLATED POORLY. GF ONLY SAID THE CYCLO DOES NOT WORK WITH D2B, THEY DID NOT STATE ANYTHING ELSE. CONFIRMED BY STORE OWNER. HIS POST IS BEING EDITED NOW TO AVOID CONFUSION.

The guys over gamefreax.de claim that the WiiKey drivechip DOES 100% work with the D2B chipset!!

The Cyclo Wiz does not run exactly like its "predecessor" Wiinja in Wii devices with GC2-D2B chip set.
.....
For this reason we decided to completely remove the Cyclo Wiz now from the assortment.
......
All of your CyloWiz orders will be replaced by the WiiKey.
The Wiikey runs in all so far on the market Wii present devices.....

Das große Wii-Modchip Debakel oder Cyclo-Wiz = Cyclo-Witz! WiiKey ist der Schlüssel zum Erfolg

Der Cyclo-Wiz läuft genau wie sein "Vorgänger" Wiinja nicht in Wii-Geräten mit GC2-D2B Chipsatz. Das halbherzig realisierte Updatefeature reisst das auch alles nicht raus. Aus diesem Grunde haben wir uns dafür entschieden, den Cyclo-Wiz nun gänzlich aus dem Sortiment zu entfernen. Wir legen Wert auf größtmögliche Kompatibilität, sowie Kompetenz der Modchiphersteller, deshalb gibt es hier auch keine Alternative sondern nur eine vernünftige Lösung und die trägt den Namen WiiKey! Der Wiikey läuft in allen bisher auf dem Markt befindlichen Wii Geräten und eines der Grundfeatures ist die Updatefähigkeit.

bye bye cyclo

why isn't this on the FRONT Page!
Thanks for the Heads up.
Since MC is printing other Rumors, they should print this one!
P.s. Holding off on making this Front Page ASAP would tend to show bias, I would think.

Maybe its not on the front page beacuse GameFreax is the sponser of the other WII Newz site. Or maybe beacuse this chip is still on paper and not in production. The Motto say anything to get one up on the compitition. It may have been a godsend their chip hasent gone into production yet.

Yes.

Since the CycloWiz was announced, they offered a Wii Bundle with CycloWiz installed.
Because of the D2B issue they will replace the CycloWiz by the WiiKey now for all those guys, who already bought the CycloW. bundle before.

Why isnt there any info anywhere about the "Wiikey"? They say it will be shipped today but it hasnt popped up anywhere. Do you think they are just holding off and waiting to see the bugs from the other chips before release?
