WiiXT: “The Ultimate Wii Modchip” February 22, 2007
Wiinja, CycloWiz, Wiip and Wiikey better watch out, cause it seems that this new Wii Modchip “WiiXT” (advertised by it’s makers as the Ultimate Wii Modchip) will be able to play both GC and Wii Homebrew, Games and Backups. And as a most interesting feature, seems like it will be able to play DVD Movies. Some think is a fake, some don’t.
They claim it will have a Stealth Mode too, but that it will be disabled when you play Region Free.
It’s said that it will come with a “WiiXT USB Dongle” which you connect to one of the Wii’s USB 2.0 ports and you will be able to turn it on/off using it.
It’s also said that it will be able to play VC games you didn’t buy, and that it will have 512MB Flash Memory.
Some people doubt this modchip’s realness because they’re hosted on a free host and use a GMail account, and their web design is not very cool. But as they state in their FAQ, that’s because they don’t want to spend money on those things when they can spend it working on their mod.
Release date is still unknown, probably because Wii’s are so hard to come across and they don’t have enough to test it on.
DVD playback it’s said to be enabled because this modchip uses technology that doesn’t just explode the backdoor that all the previous modchips exploded, but it’s a much more complex chip that can take full advantage of the Wii.
We will keep you informed in all news about this new modchip.

if it sounds too good to be true…it’s too good to be true.
I think that too, but I also think that all the current modchips have been just exploits of that backdoor on the Wii.. what if someone was working a lot harder to get something cooler done?
I think there’s a 80% chance this is a fake.. but you can live from dreams and hopes can’t you ;)?
If this is true, then they may as well be as rich as Bill Gates! It seems too good to be true, and most probably fake.
I’m going to get a Wiip when it’s released (next week maybe?), but if this had a chance of being real, I’d get it in a heartbeat. The Wiinja and the Cyclone are both extremely expensive for what they do (not much)
If they didn’t also claim they could play virtual console games you haven’t purchased I might think the rest was legit. Thats just a bit of a stretch. And of course they have the unknown release date too.
Modchips announced and no1 released ..
and i would not buy some becoaus the good games come @ November .. in that time i would look again
Rofl. Of course maxconsole says its fake. They were probably paid to. Biased jackasses.
I hope this is real cause i want to play japanese wii games on my US wii without waiting for damn freeloader
It is a fake. You can tell by looking at their lastest post that says basicly that they dont want any donations (via paypal where u can easy find someone real info) or any other offers, all they ask of u is to click there ad ot the bottom. Clearly this is just someones “Quick Cash” plan.
