The first three Wii modchips were proving Wii to be an easy task to mod, until recently Nintendo made a manufacturing modification and added D2B Panasonic chipset to Wiis. Now all the first generation modchips - Wiinja, CycloWiz and WiiKey - fail to bypass the D2B chipset.
While the first-gen modchips work like a charm in the earlier Wiis, if you have bought a Wii in January or February you should make sure what Wii you are running, before buying a useless modchip. The only way to be sure is to open the Wii and search for a chip with a GC2-D2B label.
According to Engadget, Both the CycloWiz and Wiinja teams are working on new version of modchips to get past the D2B Panasonic chipset.
