Wiikey Fusion
The Wiikey Team have announce their latest modchip called the Wiikey Fusion, a revolutionary new modchip with SD card loading capabilities. Designed to work on the new D3-2 consoles! which are currently not modable with any other wii mod chip. Unlike the drivekey or the wasabi dx the new Wiikey Fusion Will run Games at 6x speed direct from your SD CARD.
The Wiikey Fusion, like all cable based modchips used a security flaw in the DVD Drive to get backups to run. The flaw was an audio debug line, that Nintendo left open. In the latest d3-2 drives that started appearing in Wiis in Europe and North America at the start of August 2009. If your DVD drive is a D3 version 2 it will not be able to play backups in disc format, but will be able to run ISOs from SD cards!
The Wiikey Fusion is a total DVD drive emulator. In fact, you can actually take your DVD drive out if you want, and just load games from the SD card?
Wiikey fusion represents a new approach to loading games: SD Card. Users will be able to dump an .iso image directly onto an SD card and then play their backup directly from it. Not only does this solution mean faster and more reliable loading, it also provides a simple solution for people to play backups on D3-2 drives without any kind of external hardware. Not having to to add a micro-controller to Wiikey Fusion (necessary for USB support) also means
that Wiikey Fusion will be a more economical solution.
Of course, Wiikey Fusion will support all of the other features of Wiikey and DriveKey, including playing DVD backups on DMS-D3 drives.
Wii Region Compatibility
The Wiikey Fusion will works on every nintendo wii region console (PAL, NTSC-u, NTSC-j and KOREAN). There is a little region selector a dipswitch on the top side of the modchip. Before the installation process it is just a case of setting the Dipswitch to match the region of your console and then install the wiikey fusion as per instructions, its exacally the same process as installing the wasabi dx or the drivekey.
Wii Game Compatibility
Like all modchips from the Wiikey team, the Wiikey fusion will work with every single games from your own region. There are no patches needed, no fixes to the ISO, the modchip can and will boot any game without errors. its just a case of pluging it in and then forget about it.
Cross region compatibility is a little bit different. The Wiikey Fusion will allow between 50~80% of games to work from other regions (backup or original). The percentage rate changes from one region to another, and it is the same as any other modchip from the wiikey team.
The Wiikey Fusion will also allow Gamecube backups, and Gamecube games from other regions to run without any problems.
SD Card Slot ISO Loading, how does it work?
To be sure the Wiikey Fusion is 100% solderless, it comes with a SD card slot that you can use (you can route it to be an external slot hanging out the back of your wii). If you have a soldering Iron handy you will need to solder just 2 wires from the Wiikey Fusion to the SD Card slot on the wii if you would like to use the Wii’s own Sd card slot.
As we mentioned, its option to solder the wires, if you want to have it 100% solderless, you can still enjoy all of the features.
Anything that works through DVD, will load through the SD card slot in ISO format, including gamecube ISOs!
Installation
installation is just like the Drivekey or the wasabi dx, its simply just a plug & play installation.
