The Wii Drive Key modchip is the first true 100% solder less plug and play mod chip for the Wii console. Produced by the well known and respected WiiKey team, the DriveKey continues the WiiKey legacy of quality innovative devices with excellent support. It allows backup Wii and GameCube discs in addition to import games to be played on the Wii. Being able to load backup games means that expensive original games can be kept safe from damage and wear and tear and an inexpensive recordable DVD-R used in its place, ideal for those with young children.
As installation of the Wii DriveKey is solderless it is extremely simple and safe with no chance of bricking. It is installed by simply opening the Wii console, disconnecting the DVD drive cable from the mainboard and connecting it to the Drive Key. A ribbon cable is provided with the Drive Key which is then used to connect the Drive Key to the mainboard, installation is as simple as that, you can now play backups. All of the functions of the Drive Key such as region free loading of games, auto booting of games to bypass the Wii menu, auto update blocking and the enabling and disabling of the Drive Key itself can be easily set in the onboard configuration menu accessible on your TV.
It is compatible with all software versions including the latest v4.3 update of the Nintendo software and with all currently released Wii consoles except those with D3-2 drives and newer.
