Der D2CKey stammt vom WiiKey Team. Den D2CKey Modchip gibt es Kombination mit einem Wiiclip, so dass der Einbau ohne Löten vonstatten geht.

D2CKey has been designed with user simplicity in mind. After installation (which, in all fairness, should be left to a professional!), it just works. There is no need to set up, reflash, upgrade, or fiddle around. D2Ckey automatically detects what kind of disc is inserted, and configures the drive accordingly. Original and backup original Wii and Gamecube games from different regions with the same video system boots directly, and even a lot of games from regions with different video system can be booted directly. Gamecube audiostreaming fix is built-in from the start.

D2Ckey uses the latest flash-based FPGA technology from Actel, which has many powerful features. It has a super-fast, ultra-low-power 1.5V core that will literally remain cool all the time. This means no strain on your Wii (and there is no need recalculate your carbon footprint).

Another powerful feature is that the programming is protected by powerful AES128 encryption, making reverse engineering attempts infeasible. Therefore it will be very difficult to find a way to detect or block the chip in any way in the future. In the past modchips and smartcards using less secure devices have eventually been hacked, making it possible to detect them and lock out modified systems. An example of this are self-updating d2mac and unofficial Conax satellite tv cards, whose MK's have been revoked, rendering the card inoperable.

D2Ckey uses a new approach we call the Intelligent Code Modifying System (ICMS). Instead of just uploading some code and then doze off, ICMS constantly monitors data on address and data buses, patching it if necessary. This has several advantages:

* It is virtually undetectable by the Wii hardware
* Improved reading of recordable recordable media
* Backup disc loading will emulate original game disc loading closer
* By interfacing more of the circuitry of the drive controller D2Ckey has a better understanding of what is going on inside. Stability and compability have been the main design objectives.

A good example of the dangers with oversimplified chips are the 4-wire PIC12C508-based PS1 modchips that where very popular around 1997. First, Microchip, the manufacturer of PIC chips, made some changes in the manufacturing process, affecting the in-system clock. This was technically not a manufacturing flaw, as the fault was still within the tolerance specified in the datasheet, but the chips stopped working. If the 5th wire, a clock signal from PS1, had not been stripped (the 5-wire modchips still using the PS1 clock did not have any problems) then there would not have been any problems. Shortly after games appeared that detected active modchips - once again, a few extra wires would have enabled the chip to know when (and when not to) send data.

D2CKey can be used with all kinds of mediaCompatible with most DVD+/-R and RW media (no bitsetting required) and multigame discs.

DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, Dual Layer DVD, bitsetting... finding the right recordable media and the right burner isnt always that easy. Some kinds and brands of media and recorders might work better with the Wii drive than others. D2Ckey offers support for most of them from the start, making it simpler for you. While a certain media, burner, or combination might not work properly with a certain drive, it will be easier to find a working combination knowing that d2ckey supports most of the common recordable media types.

* D2CKey works on D2C consoles ONLY. Will not work on DMS, D2A or D2B.
* Installation of D2CKey consists of over 30 wires and should NOT be attempted by amateurs.

D2CKey is the worlds first wii modchip that is compatible with D2C consoles. D2C is the name of the chipset that the wii modchips need to exploit in order to work. Before D2C it was a lot easier to mod a console as there was a massive security flaw left open by 'the Big N'. They have now closed this flaw, and for 2 months, people with D2C console had to sit there with their thumbs in their mouths. That is until the D2CKey team (a spinoff of wiikey) figured it out. If you know wiikey, you know that they are perfectionists, and don't bring out hardware that isn't perfect.

Many people think it is a curse to get a D2C console, but with the D2CKey, you actually might be the lucky one. The modchip features an Actel chip, which is known for its reliable and stealth features.

The features for people that want it short and simple: The abilty to...

* Play backup Wii games from your region
* Play approx 70% of Wii games from other regions (Original or Backup)
* Play Gamecube Backups from any region
* Play Gamecube Homebrew apps (disc backup utils, watch DVDs, Watch Xvid and Divx Movies, play emulators!)
