New Modchip Claims to Include Independant OS March 28
Wi-Ic is claiming to have a modchip with it’s own independant Operating System.
The makers of the Wi-Ic have released a new modchip, the Wi-Ic micro SD edition. Not much information has been released thus far concerning this new modchip, here’s a list of product specifications:
Multi-Function LED indicator
POST (Power On Self Test)
Install Diagnostic and Status
Failsafe Update
(recover after failed update)
Disc Channel (DVD)
Photo Channel (requires 1 extra wire)
Non-volatile configuration storage
Optional wire for full chip disable
ESD (anti static) packaging
RoHS compliant (PbFree)
It will be interesting to see if this is an actual replacement Wii OS, enabling homebrew, or whether this just a way to run GCOS ( a homebrew enabling Gamecube OS) without action replay. As more information is released, we will keep you updated.
