So to sum this all up the two leaders as you can see are WiiKey and CycloWiz with chips like Wiinja and WiiD catching up in updated versions.
( If you have the new "unhackuble" D2C chipset in your Wii you have only one option and that is D2CKey.) The good thing about WiiKey and Cyclowiz is that new features are improvements are implemented in simple firmware/software updates that can be installed from a rewritable DVD. In another review we will look at the os and configuration disc menu options of each wii mod chip.
