The security chip in the [[Wii]] is known as '''Hollywood'''; it bears the logos of NEC (who presumably manufactured the chip), ATI (who designed the [[Hardware/GX|GPU]] inside), and BroadOn (who designed the [[Starlet]] "I/O Bridge").
   −
Its graphics capabilities are similar to that of the GameCube's flipper, except running at a higher clock speed.
+
Its hardware is documented on the [[Hardware]] article and subpages. Hardware inside includes the [[Hardware/GX|GX]], [[boot0]] ROM, [[Hardware/OTP|OTP]], and Starlet

== Pinout (Hollywood, Hollywood AA) ==
 +
The Hollywood chip is 2 or 3 flip-chip dies bonded to a BGA substrate, with a 30 x 30 (or later, 28x28) grid of balls to connect it to the rest of the circuit. Most balls are connected to other layers by way of vias; some signals are routed completely on the top layer.
 +
 +
(Please help verify and complete this pinout with a continuity tester!  This pinout is for the earlier 30x30 version of the Hollywood; the 28x28 package has a completely different pinout.)

It seems to be implied by the formulas used for the [[Wii Number]] that the Hollywood ID is a 32bit unsigned int.{{check}}
