DriveKey is brought to you from the people that brought you; WiiKey, WiiKey 2, D2CKey, D2PRO and D2LITE! DriveKey welcomes you to the forth generation of Wii Modification chips.
DriveKey sits on the bus between the Wii motherboard and the DVD drive. It transparently monitors all data transmitted. When a backup disc is inserted DriveKey emulates an original game disc by transmitting and patching necessary data. DriveKey has full control and can read the entire DVD media.
The DriveKey requires absolutely no soldering and works on every Wii DVD Drive on the market including; D2B, D2A, DMS, D2C, D2C2, D2E, D3 and D2NOTHING. This means you do not have to worry what model of Wii you have, no need to check the serial number or anything like this, it will universally plug into any Wii Model!
While the performance of the DriveKey is not quite as good as soldered mod chip alternatives and with the method in which it patches games, it never can provide the same performance - it is still rock solid and a very good alternative if you do not want to solder a chip into your console.
As the DriveKey limits your DVD rom reading speed slightly, there can be some slight issues with some graphically intense games such as Call of Duty and Scarface.

Insulate DriveKey, close your Wii cover & enjoy!
Stick a few strips of insulating tape over DriveKey to keep it out of contact with the chassis, screw the DVD drive back in and close the Wii cover. You will now be able to play backups (copies) of your favorite Wii titles as well as imported originals from other regions! It's as easy as that! |

Please Note: DriveKey is designed to modify your Wii game console. However, Wii was not designed with DriveKey nor any other mod chip in mind. While every effort has been taken to ensure that DriveKey is compatible with a broad range of media and drives there is no guarantee that any given media or game will work on a specific drive. There are a number of factors beyond the scope of DriveKey functionality that affects media compability, such as the laser diode and other internal circuitry in the DVD drive. |
