MaxConsole was lucky enough to receive one of the modchips and obviously testd it to the fullest. The review states that the modchip is obviously of high quality and that the installation was easy. There’s also a LED to verify that everything is installed correctly. Wii and GameCube backups both worked and because of how the CycloWiz works it is completely invisible to the CPU and therefore it is highly likely that no firmware update will be able to detect it (and therefore disable online abilities or similar). The modchip only supports games from your region, it does not remove the much hated region code on Wii games. GameCube homebrew runs, so you can use GCOS to run other region GameCube discs. Judging by how successful this review was, Wiinja is already slain. Over all it looks like Nintendo should have properly fixed the backdoors I mentioned in an earlier post. And now, not too long after the release, people are going to go insane with illegal copies of games. I, for one, could finally play GameCube imports (I can’t find PAL games that support 480p) and Wii backups. I don’t always play nice with my discs so scratches happen.
