So I've bought a drivekey chip, and I'm still waiting for it to be shipped...
If you can wait, as soon as I get it I will install and try to unbrick my dead wii (Korean wii with US firmware upgraded to 4.2USA without reading anything around!) and will post everything [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register]
