SunDisk Chip for Nintendo Wii Reviewed!

[idone]

The kind people of team D2SUN (linked above) have sent out some samples of the new Nintendo Wii http://www.d2sun.com/sundisk-16.htm for testing.

After testing this chip out I have to say that there is not much more one could even expect out of a drive chip.

Some high points:

- Chip comes retail packaged nicely.
- Quality of the pcb is excellent.
- Chip is large but fit's perfectly under the drive when placed correctly.
- So much more than just a drive chip, having the ability to dump disks directly to the onboard nand, copy .iso from pc to chip and vice versa, and loading them from the chip effectively emulating the drive all together.

It almost seems that the only thing it cannot do is play the game for you :p

I was going to mod my gf's wii, but I don't own one myself. I chipped xbox1's quite a bit over the years and was wondering how this compares in terms of difficulty? How easy is it to brick/ screw up your wii with this?

This install is the easiest there is, you just unplug the drive's flat cable and connect it to the chip, then connect another cable from chip to wii's mobo..

There is no soldering at all, and you can store and play games right on the chip.. it really sets the bar high as far as mod chips for the Wii are concerned!

i'm under the impression that this chip can't boot games from the dvd drive with a d3-2 drive, right?

neither it can't dump games from a d3-2 dvd drive into the chips flash memory, does it?

sorry for the major dig up of this thread but i can't seem to find that info anywhere after a google search
