Is the WiiKey worth it, or do you recommend something else? Now that Freeloader won't work I want to play some upcoming Japanese games.

there's geckoOS, which is a region free loader that you can run using the homebrew channel, its pretty painless. or you can mod the region using various menuloader tools, which is a bit more hassle.

the freeloader is dead though.

But I just got it to work without it. After sifting through all the mod chips out there, and trying to figure out which drives they work with, I don't want to fuck with any hardware right now.
