I have been considering to buy a wiikey for about 3 weeks now, yesterday i found a good cheap installer and was going get it installed, about a few miunutes later if found a new mod on the internet Xecuter Wiip v2 They have not finished but are saying it will be in less than a month
It says it has 8kb of flash update space, Upgrade Via DVD, LPT & USB, Supports NTSC/PAL/JAP i also heard that it may be 100percent region free.
if anyone has any thing to add or suggest to get a wiikey, please add.

Wiikey is a good modchip. Unfortunately their support is s**t. It's almost been 2 months now and we are still waiting for this firmware update for the chip, and there is still no word.

That Xecuter chip sounds interesting. If you are willing to wait to see what it has to offer, then do so. Xecuter is famous for its modchips. Especially if it is offering fully region free support, since the Wiikey is fairly limited...

I just checked the Wiikey.cn website, there still is no update for the chip. It's almost been two months since it was originally due out...very bad...

yea i've sorta regretted getting a wiikey, i only got it for 3 free games that i got from EA but now im over them, and all i do is worry my wii is going to brick..

07/01/2007 oh god where am i?! *cry*

phatbass82 says:

It really s**ts me that Wiikey has done this to everyone. I really think a better chip from a different company is around the corner. I think Wiikey will be abandoned for the new chips.

Impossible.

All it is, is an open source modchip. There is already one called WiiFree that is upgradeable via DVD.

Might stockit, but probably not.

I'm gonna wait till this one comes out before committing to a chip for my wii. I still think Wiikey is heaps dodgy.

As i said, 100% region free is impossible on a drive mod like this.

So you are really waiting for something that has the same specs as the wiikey, but will be more expensive.
