CYCLOWIZ REVIEW

Santa is late

Yes, it’s still christmas time for Wii owners. Just one week ago the existence of a Wii modchip was just pure speculation.

Now, in just a weekend, two chips have been anounced, and you’re just about to read our review of the one that has the best chances to survive : CycloWiz by Team Cyclops.

One of the very interesting aspects of the CycloWiz is how you don’t need any wire to install it. Simply fill the holes with solder, and the installation is done! Nothing revolutionary here, Xbox chips offered this possibility for ages, and XenoGC offers it on Gamecube. Still, it’s a very handy feature that will save you some installation time.

Of course we had a couple of our own Wii and GC backups ready for testing. They were burnt on 12cm TDK DVD-R and DVD+R media. Guess what, they boot just fine, like original discs. Nothing changes in the Wii behaviour. We were told that thanks to the stealth feature, the Wii main CPU receives the exact same data from a Wii backup than it would from an original disc, not even one byte differs, so CycloWiz is totally transparent.

Positives

- Wii and GC backups working exactly like original discs
- Support for GC homebrew and imports
- Full GC compatibility (including audio streaming games)
- Stealth
- Quick-solder
- Works with multi-disc games
- Very well built and great quality

Negatives

- No Wii imports or homebrew
