    Help need a new chip??? which one

    please can someone help me.

    my wii has had a chip in it since early last year, pic chip (12f683)

    dont know what code is on it but i t played everything till super mario galaxy came out...

    is there another pic chip i can use and just replace the old with the new.

    the chip inside the wiii is a DB2 with the 3 legs cut. the top of the DB2 chip has been dremeled back to expose the 3 missing legs and soldered to them, there is only 5 wires in total

    3 - DB2 xhip
    1 - power
    1 - ground

    any advise welcome, i dont have a programmer to program a pic chip i just want to get one that will boot all the latest games

    thanks alot

    yaosm is what you want.

    drop me a pm with your addy and i will post you a PIC 12F629 programmed with yaosm 3.0 for your wii chipset it will run everything for you. All you need to do is keep the wires on the wii and solder them onto the new chip.

    Wiikey will work, but I personally recommend yoasm 3.0! Only costs the price of a blank PIC! And if he already has a programmer he can remove his current one, program it and put it back, so its 100% free!

    Yoasm 3.0 is DVD upgradable according to here, but older versions are not.

    Changes from yaosm 2.0
    - Better Dual Layer support. Supports SSBB on DVD+DL and DVD-DL with or without DVD-ROM booktype as long as your Wii can read the media.
    - DVD upgradability. Proof of concept upgrade available on config disc.
    - Config disc can now be used without a GC controller. Press resetbutton once to enter yaosm configuration program. Then hold to move the "cursor" and press quickly to change a setting.
    - Recovery feature if an upgrade fails.

    I have a D2B with pins cut and have bought a Wasabi from console-chips.co.uk, that was on the 16th April and still it hasnr't been dispatched so unfortunately I can't give you my opinion. But apparently Wasabi is the bollocks, used with a Wii-clip V5 and there is just one solder point!
