I went with a WiiKey and have never had a problem with it... at the time it was a pretty intense install though with the solder points being so small and close together. There might be a better (easier) modchip out by now, but I would endorse WiiKey as Ive had no problems and firmwares are released regularly.
Plays all my Wii and old GC backups as well as GC emulators etc.
This will probably be moved to the Console Technical forum.

Wiikey only works with very old Wiis. Get a D2Pro.

D2Pro have an ejection problem if you do not upgrade it, that req. a programmer for the D2Pro that you need to solid on the D2Pro.
Get a Wasabi chip with Wii-clip. No soliding needed.

guys i have opened my Wii and i have a D2C chip with a serial number: LEC1907******
I spoke to a supplier of mod chips and he said i have a D2C2 chip (based on my serial number) and has recommended the D2pro 9 wire.
Is this a good chip to get? My main requirement is to be able to play multi region games.
Also can anyone recommend any good online sites to get this from (UK).
Thanks

The chips are all basically the same. Avoid Wiikey2 though because of their crap support for the wiikey1.

I've borrowed a wii from a mate and was thinking of buying one for my wife.
I've done some research into chips but i am unsure which to buy! i really wanted to get a soldierless chip if possible..
any recommendations of which one to buy??
This thread is a little old so i wondered if things have changed with the chips since last year

Why not install a softmod? In my opinion it's better than a chip. Buy or rent an original zelda and install softmii no soldering is needed and you don't have to open your console. The only things you need are the original zelda game, an sd memory card (minimum 512Mb) and a wifi internet connection. Check here http://www.softmii.com/

Yeah i've just been reading about this, is it correct though that the soft mod only allows the dvd to read at x3 and the mod chips run at x6. does this affect anything other than just the loading speed of the games?
i think i will try this method first and then think about the wiikey 2 solderless or something like..

the 3X read speed affects the cutscenes in some games like in Mario Galaxy for example. The game plays fine but in the cutscenes there's a framerate drop. But most games i tried work just fine.

The solderless clips work well as long as you dont have an epoxy cover drive chip.
Backup loader presently runs @ 3X speed, but they are making advances to hopefully unlock 6x speed. I have only ever had issues with cut scenes. And gamecube loader is out now as well. There are also other softmods out now that dont require backup loader at all, and use disk channel.
I installed a flatmii which works great since my arcade PC is close to my wii setup. This chip installsl between the DVD drive and the wii itself, so completely plug and play.
There is a couple new chips coming out that use the same install but are not just for streaming to your wii. I would look out for those, as they are completely plug and play installs.
