There are many different brand mod chips for Wii.
WiiKey, D2CKey, Cyclowiz, Wiinja, Wiinja Deluxe, Wiibuster, etc.
Compare with the price, function, features and the Wii Drivechip, I recommend Wii Key 2.
Wii Key 2 support DMS, D2A, D2B, D2C, D2C-2 and D2E chipsets. Support all regions, including USA, JAP, PAL and KOREA
The full specification shown below:
* Compatible with DMS, D2A, D2B, D2C, D2C-2 and D2E chipsets
* Compatible with all regions, USA, JAP, PAL and KOREA
* Compatible with D2B “cut pin” drives (does not require the cut pins to be connected)
* Fully configurable and updatable via DVD
* Advanced automatic region detection with fallback (works even if a drive is changed to a different region Wii)
* Region override for Wii and Gamecube games
* Direct Boot of Wii original, import, and backup games

* Multifrequency Ringpiece Oscillators (MRO) for optimum performance, even with problem drives
* Onboard status LEDs
It is only 19.95, plus tax $1 and shipping fee, total is $25.90. When you make order through Canadamods.ca. Shipping taks about one week.
Now it is yellow tag in the back of Wii Key 2 chip, so 6 solder points only for D2C, D2C2, or D2E.
It does very difficult to solder 6 points. Wii has very tiny points need to be soldered. If you have no experience of soldering, please buy a solderless parts, it is about $45 each.

Wii mod chips
Hey, love the detailed comparison. As an update, you can get fully plug and play Wii ModChips now. The DriveKey (made by the same people behind the Wiikey 2 and D2CKey) is truly a plug and play chip. Just plug it in and it works. No soldering, no wires or anything.
