Mask ROM by Macronix
Wii Backup Instructions
Wii Mask ROM refers to a kind of ROM (read-only memory) whose contents are programmed by the IC manufacturer. In other words, it is not a user-programmable ROM. Since the process is costly, mask ROM is used when the needed volume is high and it is absolutely certain that the contents will not change.It is common practice to use UV-EPROM for the development phase of a project, and only after the code/data have been finalized is mask ROM ordered.The main advantage of mask ROM is its cost, since it is significantly cheaper than other kinds of ROM, but if an error in the data/code is found, the entire batch must be thrown away.

WiiKey Base Disc
The base 1.2 disc for the WiiKey is a DVD packed with application for Nintendo Wii consoles that have been modded with WiiKey Modchip. It's main purpose is to configure the WiiKey modchip settings. Along side of it's basic practical uses, this base disc allows users to backup their Wii/Gamecube games to an SD card via a GCMC (gamecube memory card) to SD adapter, Load media (game's, emulators, applications, audio and video) via the SD-GCMC adapter and/or DVD media, and play a variety of classic SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) video game ROMs via the SNES9x emulator.

WiiKey Review:
The WiiKey was announced at the beginning of February 2007 and shipped to the stores at the end of the month. It is one of many drive modchips available for the Nintendo Wii and it acts as a firmware replacement funneled through the debug serial port - tricking the DVD drive into believing that Copied DVD-R backup is in fact a legit original game DVD. This trick works much like current Xbox 360 chips do. Like its current competitors, the WiiKey is installed onto the Wii's drive either by quicksolder or using six wires. Mod-chip can then be updated through the use of a Setup DVD Disc which can be downloaded from the WiiKey website.
Compatibility of WiiKey is very good - no slowdowns / stuttering and region patching on the Wii does indeed work. The WiiKey performs as expected and does a good job. It gladly accepts any disc you throw at it (provided it is a good enough brand/dye of course) also if it is rewrittable
WiiKey PROS
+ Mod-Chip is easy to install with quicksolder method or wired method, if you have soldering experience.
+ Flawless performance and perfect compatibility with Wii backups, even on same DVDs that gave read errors with CycloWiz v1 work with WiiKey.
+ Runs games burned on Re-Writeable DVD-RW Discs sawing you a lot of $ and letting you test the game before recording it on DVD-R!
+ Does not require GCOS to play Game Cube isos from other regions.
+ Upgradable and configurable via DVD - with onboard EEPROM.
+ Come with a unique DVD Dumper application for backing up Wii games to an SD CARD.
WiiKey CONS
- The board and position of the quicksolder points may require a bit more skill to install because aligning has to be precisely.
To open up the console and install the chip the following tools will be required:
A Tri-wing screwdriver
A small prying tool
A small phillips head screwdriver
Easy to Installation and a pleasure to operate!
Can use Quicksolder Method or wired installation.
You Can Really Upgrade it via DVD!
