Computer Markets (Windale) have a Sydney based guy attend each time to carry out repairs/servicing for Playstation, Wii, X-Box, etc.

Will be there this Sunday.

WiiKey supply & fit price = $70.00 for original versions, $90.00 if model is the DB2 as harder to fit.

Original wiikeys? doubt it.
Q: "Hey do you have holograms"
A: " No, sorry we got the batch before them"

Its a pity there hasn't been a silver wiikey batch (the model without holograms) for 3+ months. No one hold stock for that long.

Yep, good service, provide a 1 month warranty on the chip and has worked well since I got it (April?). No problems at all with importing Super Paper Mario and other games, finishing them. Also backed up all my games so the originals don't get scratched. Had to order that www.mwave.com.au/ (Sydney Based, only shop I could find that sells them ironically) LG-8164B drive for that.

But yeah make sure if your backing up to burn at 1x with imgburn. Aldi (Tevion) dvd's work.

i got mine from ozmodchips with a hologram.
also got the gecko card, lets me dump my original Wii discs to sd card then burn it afterwards - no need for an LG drive.

there are various sites where you can see the comparison between a genuine wiikey and a clone, you should check it out before getting one installed.

Ah never heard of it, cool

it takes me about an hour from start(dumping) to finish(burning the disc), for a Wii game. A Gamecube game takes around half an hour.

I reacon having the LG drive is the easiest way to rip games. I do, and it works perfectly, despite how old it is. 1hr 45 minutes for Wii and 1 hour for gamecube is about the fastest I can do it, considering the average is around 3 hours, just for Wii games!

Remember it's not any LG drive that can do it, it's the LG-8164B specific model

Yeah I bought the LG-8164b about 2 months ago off eBay for $40. I've just been struggling to find someplace around here to get a chip

what does that Even do ... ?

annirowe says:

It allows you to use a standard SD card to backup your games via the Wii. Sd card goes into the Gecko. Then You plug the Gecko into the Gamecube memory ports. Ten using the Wiikey Config disk you can backup games directly to the SD card. The Wiikey will alow you to span over sd cards as well.

Phone Number (From Saturday Herald) for installer at Windale Computer Market is 0410 312567.

Any enquiries, for a local installation, give him a ring.

08/16/2007 Newcastle

cfoz1 says:

Also, just checking the "Clone site" www.wiikey.com.cn rather than the genuine www.wiikey.cn, appears the clones are now being sold with clone hologram stickers also
"http://www.wiikey.com.cn/products.asp?pk=35"

How do we tell the difference now?

cfoz1 says:

LOL - Sounds like I will see you out there.

Calling Tomorrow just to check definitely genuine Wiikey with the holgram, and some basic sort of warranty, and then will rock up on Sunday as well.

How are you set for games? Message me or give me your email address & I will let you know what I have if you are interested.

You are correct sir, one of these four models. I have the 8162b model. 8164b is the most current model.

To risky to add a wiikey or modchip. I'm scared my wii will get bricked

annirowe says:

Relax iaculch. Try not to scare people because of your lack of knowledge... Am im not trying to be rude there.

It would appear the majority of people here run a wiikey. None of us have had any issues (yet of course) so at this point you would have to say its all good.
