The Wiikey fusion is a brand new mod chip for Nintendo Wii by the Wiikey Team. This revolutionary mod chip will allow you to play your backup ISOs from any SD card or DVD.

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 reason we have added a tick for “any future DVD drives” is because 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?

Order the WiiKey Fusion Mod Chip for as low as $44.95.

Wii Region Compatibility
The Wiikey Fusion works on every single region (PAL, NTSC-u, NTSC-j and KOREAN). There is a little region selector (dipswitch) on the modchip. Before installing the product you flick a switch for your region and plug in the modchip!

Wii Game Compatibility
Like all modchips from the Wiikey team, the Wiikey fusion will work with every single games from your region. There are no patches needed, no fixes to ISO, the modchip can boot any game without errors. You plug it in, and forget about it :)

Cross region compatibility is a little bit different. The Wiikey Fusion will allow 50~80% of games to work from other regions (backup or original). The % changes from 1 region to another, and is the same as any other modchip from the team.

The product will also allow Gamecube backups, and Gamecube games from other regions to work.

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!

Wiikey Fusion Installation
Its very easy, just like the Drivekey! Open wii, disconnect the ribbon cable, plug in modchip, connect ribbon cable to modchip, close wii! The product is a fusion of the Drivekey product, and a SD card ISO loader (which is a worlds first)

As a consumer of digital media and electronics you stand to be greatly impacted by changes to Canada’s copyright regime. Fortunately, the Government wants to hear from consumers and creators alike so that the interests of all Canadians can be taken into account. Until September 13, 2009 you can participate in the recently launched government consultations on copyright by visiting www.copyrightconsultation.ca and registering for an upcoming townhall meeting, webcast or by making a submission via email.

If we do not voice our concerns en masse we run the risk of having a draconian system of copyright rules imposed upon us. Imagine living in a country where corporations dictate how you consume information and media and utilize technology. Canadians need to speak out against such proposals and push for greater flexibility in the law to provide a balanced, fair approach on digital reforms. To that end, Michael Geist has just launched www.speakoutoncopyright.ca. The site is designed to inform and help foster greater participation by bringing together online discussion (ie. the Twitter #copycon stream), postings, videos, news reports, etc.

The Canadian Coalition for Electronic Rights has also updated its letter wizard allowing you to easily submit your concerns in both official languages directly to the government copyright consultations as well as those minsters responsible for modernizing Canada’s Copyright Act.
