The Wiikey, released February 2007, was one of the first DVD-upgradeable modchips to be released for the Wii. It is a first generation chip, and can only be installed on systems with chipset revisions of D2B and older (including systems with “cut” IC legs). The Wiikey has six points to solder on to the DVD drive. This can be done either via wires or through the "quick solder" method.
The Wiikey’s firmware works by a process of funneling through the debug serial port. This effectively tricks the DVD drive into believing that the backup is in fact genuine, much like current Xbox 360 chips do. Periodic firmware updates are released from the Wiikey development team, as well as configuration discs used to change the Wiikey settings. Both can be found on the Wiikey website.
In addition to complete original Wii functionality, including system updates and online game play, the Wiikey packs an impressive list of features. According to the Wiikey website, this is the official feature list as of the March 26, 2008 1.9s update:
* Direct Boot of Wii Backups
* Direct Boot of GameCube Backups
* Direct Boot of Homebrew in GameCube Mode
