The WiiKey is by far the most popular mod for the Nintendo Wii. The Wiikey was the first modchip that allows your wii to play international games! There are many revisions of the wiikey, we have the latest with gold pads and a hologram. Many installers and suppliers out there sell clone wiikeys. These are nasty 10cent products that you don't want in your wii. The have an extremely high failure rate, and will not be upgradeable via DVD. Please don't ask us if we supply clones, it is offensive to us.

Please read the FAQ, and the Specs if you are interested in the details. Any more questions? Contact us.

There are currently 3 types of wiis in Australia. The best way to tell what type you have is by the serial number at the bottom of your console, but you can never be 100% sure unless you open the console and have a look. We do see a lot of consoles though, and these serial number cut offs are very accurate.

Under LAH1016

These is a normal wii with DMS/D2B chipset. Most people with a steady hand and some soldering skills (and the right equipment) should be able to do this installation.

Between LAH1016 and LAH10216

This is a wii with 3 pins cut out of the consoles IC. The IC is what the wiikey 'talks to', with the 3 pins cut, the wiikey can't talk to it, hence, it can't work! It still is moddable, but extremely hard for most people. 50% of so called 'professional' modders cannot do it, all of our installer have done them, and will do them for an additional fee. Please see the wiikey install page for this.

Over LAH10216

D2C chipset. The wiikey WILL not work on this model. You need a D2C compatible modchip like the D2CKey or Argon

We will not give refunds if you buy the product without checking your serial number first!

FAQ

FAQ

Q: Will I be able to play games from overseas?
A: Yes, The current capability is at about 70%. This may change in the future with an update.

Q: So what are the current games that will work?
A: GbaTemp - Cross region compatibility Page

Q: How hard is it to install?
A: The solder points are VERY small. If you have a professional soldering iron, a steady hand, and some soldering experience you might be able to do it. If you are unsure it is best to just go with our installation option, and get it installed by a professional.

Q: What kind of things could I mess up if I installed it wrong?
A: A common problem is that people solder off the solder pads! If you solder off the pads you will have to get someone to solder directly onto the IC chip. It is classified as a repair work, so it will cost more.

Q: Can nintendo dectect this modchip?
A: Right now, no.

Q: Will they be able to in the future
A: No one can predict the future, but we are 99% sure they will never be able to detect the wiikey because of stealth mode

Q: How does stealth mode work?
A: No broadcast signals can come out of the modchip, even when using the configuration disc. It is very hard to prove something is there when it doesn't respond. The wiikey doesn't modify any firmware, it is just a drive chip, which also means it is very hard to detect.

Q: I heard that a modchip will 'Brick' your wii, what does that mean and if it true.
A: Bricking means the Wii is useless, just like a brick. A modchip will not cause bricking, but it is still possible. NTSC games like Super Paper Mario can be legally imported from overseas. This game requires the latest firmware to work. If you have the latest firmware already on your PAL console, the game will dump some settings on your wii, reset, and it will then work fine. If you do not have the latest firmware, Nintendo will try and download it for you. This is the problem, because it will only download the NTSC firmware and put it on your Wii console.
So to eliminate this risk, just perform a 'Wii System Update' before playing an international game for the first time
