The Nintendo Wii is the only major gaming console that does not have HDMI output. The console's output resolution is only 480i /p, the lack of an HDMI output on the Wiii makes installations and wiring more complex and troublesome.
At this point, we're sorta surprised you can't just look askance at a Wii and set it to running homebrew with your penetrating gaze alone - it seems like everything else has been accomplished in the, and of Nintendo's little console. Brought to us by the folks, DriveKey is a wire-free, solder-free, brain-free method for hacking any Wii on the market, especially those pesky new ones with 'epoxy' drives or the dreaded hack-proof 'D3' drives. DriveKey acts as a simple passthrough for the DVD connector cable, tweaking certain functions to allow for a bit more freedom in your Wii experience. Unfortunately, DriveKey limits the DVD drive to 2x read speeds, which might make certain games unplayable, and it also can't be flash upgraded, unlike the WiiKey before it, to add more functionality or fend off a theoretical hack-buster update from Nintendo - though this hasn't proved much of a problem for similar hacks. The chips go for around $70.
