Wii external Modchip Port and Chip Dongle! With PICTURES!

First: Sorry for my bad english, i am from germany

Hi!

Here are some pictures of my external wii chip port. You can connect all released Modchips (Wiibuster, Cyclowiz, Wiinja) incl. in future the Wiikey. The update function of the Cyclowiz with switch and the Sleep-Mode function (with Reset Switch@Wii) works, too.

The Dongle with the Chip (grey Dongle = Cyclowiz, silver Dongle = Wiibuster) have a red Test-LED. Is the LED off, you can disconnect and change the Modchip-Dongle.
Both Modchip works great with the Wii and all games incl. PAL-Version of Rayman, CoD3 and SpongeBob (only with Wiibuster).

You can connect a DIY-cable for: "Wii_DVD_Tool_ISO_Loader_0.2_WinALL-SYNDiCATE" and it WORKS!
Thanks for the brainstorming and help@Phaethon on the wii-toolz.de Forum!

Yes, the Chips are IN the Dongle.

In the grey dongle is the cyclowiz inside.
In the silver dongle is the wiibuster inside.
More dongle with another Modchips (Wiinja, Wiikey) comming soon!

The port with the dongle support all DVD-Drive-Hack Modchips and the Wii DVD_Tool ISO Loader!

The PIN Selection of the D-Sub 9 Port:
PIN:
1 = Chip Pin A
2 = Chip Pin B
3 = Chip Pin C
4 = V -> Voltage (3,2V)
5 = G -> Ground
6 = X for Cyclo Update function
7 = S for Cyclo Update function
8 = Sleep Mode for Chips (connect to Wii Reset Switch)
9 = Chip Pin D for Wiikey

The Cyclo Dongle have a switch for the UPDATE-Mode and both Dongle haves red LED for testet the connection and function!

Here are the pictures (sorry for the wrong date/year at the pictures):

BEST IDEA EVER

This is absolutely great, I wish i'd have done this! Excellent mod.

what does this do exactly?

Very good work there

Wait, is the chip inside the dongle or what?

This looks awesome by the way.

Srry if this a dumb question as I'm a noob to this modding. Looking at this it seems wicked but what exactly does it do? and help?

By the looks of it i would say the port in the wii is connected to all the places the modchips requires wires soldered too, you then solder your modchip to an external dongle and then plug in whichever mod chip you want to use, an excellant idea with all the different and upcoming mod chips.

Basically he has put the modchip inside the dongle. This means that the wires on the dvd drive attach to the "serial port" on the wii, so that when the dongle attaches, the mod chip is then attached to the dvd drive.

Absolute genius.

German-guy: can you put pictures up of the inside, showing which wires go where. It would be easy to work it out but to show people how to do it, internal shots are necessary.

can you post a wiring diagram please.

I have to say, I´m impressed
Very good and innovative idea. Thumbs up.

Is i take pictures about in the next days

LMFAO!
So simple yet so effective. You my friend are a genius.

One quick question, how did you get the modchips inside the dongle?

do you solder the chips to the dongle or do you slot them or something?

The dongle are only a Case for a Serial-Cable. I´m buy some serial-Port Connectors and Cases. The connector and case cost together ~50 Cent...

I´m fix the Modchip one the Case with double-site-tape


Look at this picture (Wiibuster in case without the red test LED):
