Nintendo has released their product previewing channel, known creatively as the Nintendo Channel. Over at WiiBrew, it has been confirmed that this channel has no effect on the Twilight Hack or the Homebrew Channel.

New Wii Channel launched, Nintendo Channel. By the looks of it, does NOT harm the TP-Hack or Homebrew Channel in any way.

The D2CKey Team is reporting that they have dumped the new “Un-Moddable” D2C Chip

New d2c chip in the wild, dumped by d2ckey team - 2008-05-05

We received the first drive with the new d2c chip on yesterday and we can confirm that is indeed different. We have dumped the firmware and are just starting to analyze it. It seems that nr reader mode has been disabled in this firmware (see nice screenshot of firmware disassembly).

WiiNewz is reporting that The D2Ckey Team have confirmed exclusively to WiiNewz that they have been successful in cracking in the new D2C chip. Expect a new 9-wire mod solution soon.
