Wii Drivechip Comparison
From WikiTemp, the GBAtemp wiki
Revision as of 08:06, 4 April 2008 by 91.32.184.237 (talk) (Added WiiKey 1.9b - thank you WiiKey team - people have good reasons to now have 1.9b 1.9g or 1.9s - three versions need to be maintained!)
No true modchips exist yet, as all current chips operate by modifying the DVD drive in some fashion. Until that time, Drivechips have shown great promise in enabling many new features of the Wii.
Presented here is a list of currently released drivechips and their features.

Trucha = using Trucha Signer

§ =RGB(Red cells*10, Green cells*10, Blue cells*10). White cells ignored. Choose the greenest modchip! ;)
° Supports D2B chips with cut of IC-legs, without rebuilding them.
% Indeed fixes the reading speed to 3x but doesn't allow setting it to 6x for backups!
$ Can't play PAL backups if region free is enabled (even on PAL Wiis) - for originals region free works flawlessly!
