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.

Many people have played small parts in its creation, but most credit should go to bLAStY and dhewg for the shiny, lickable interface.

xiaNaix has posted a Front Page News Article on WiiNewz regarding Certain D2C Wiis recently hitting the market in the US being un-moddable at this time.

Many experienced and trusted modders have posted in the thread with confirmation of some Wii’s not reading backups using any of the D2C Modchips.

According to the long thread, the D2Pro Team has been sent one of these un-moddable Wii’s and are investigating the issue.

Un-Moddable Wii’s In The Wild

---

Wii’s sold in North America the last week with LU567xxxx serial numbers will not work with any of the D2C chips, including the original versions and the new 9wire clones now showing up. The console internals look the same (same drive board, same D2C markings on the chip) but, after installing a mod, backups will still not boot. It is possible that Nintendo has made some major changes to these new systems so, if you can get older D2C models, it’s best to get them now!

There is a lengthy discussion thread located HERE .

According to sources at wiibrew.org a USB Mass Storage device is in testing for the Wii.

1 May 08: A USB Mass storage device file/folder lister demo has been released on the #wiidev channel by svpe, the same person who made the first SD elfloader. It is still in testing stages and the code needs to be cleaned up, so no download link will be provided here. It is compatible with anything that adheres to the USB Mass Storage Device specification and FAT16, including USB memory sticks, flash drives, certain phones/MP3 Players, some FAT-formatted USB Hard Drives and even single-slot card readers. When a cleaned-up version is released it will be posted here. Very early and probably buggy source code is available now

Most translating done at WiiNewz

A new version of Wii Homebrew Launcher is available. I want to thank Cladil for re-designed the interface.


The changes are as follows:
The graphics have been re-handled by Cladil
The blue light of the Wii lights itself at the time of access to the SD card
Suppresstion the string “Restart SD loader”
The font size was reduced to view the names of longer chains
Adding to display mode RGB 60Hz (beta)
Adding a configuration file to set the display settings manually
Ability to customize the interface
Creating a menu accessible by the START key enabling:
– Back to the menu Wii
– Turn off the Wii
– Restarting the loader


A small tutorial on the usage of this new version is available in the Usage section.


A demonstration is available in the Download section.


A version using the Wiimote is currently under development. However, a major bug making homebrew useless pushed me to put this version (without wiimote) online. Indeed after the initialization of the Wiimote, using Front-SD becomes unstable. A new version with support of the wiimote will be put online as soon as the problem will be resolved. I do not know any time combine long it will take me (no need, therefore let me ask).


The usage of GIF or PNG files are not foreseen for the moment (I concentrate my efforts on the wiimote).


At last, icons for the homebrew are available on the forum of the site www.wiigen.fr here.

GBAtemp member Dack has updated his Wiiscrubber program to make available smaller compression and fix some bugs.

WiiScrubber is used to shrink a Wii iso’s filesize when compressed. In this new version, ISOs can be compressed smaller. There are a few other changes, as well as some bug fixes. See the changelog below for more information.

(Changelog)

Wiiscrubber 1.2

Think you’ll like this version

Whats new?

1. Smaller compressed sizes possible as a bug fix was marking data that wasn’t actually used.

2. Allows for replacement of files on the ISO -i.e Right click LOAD menu works

3. Allows for replacement of files larger than the original

4. Auto Trucha signs if a file is replaced

Bug fixes:

1. Another 32/64 bit error meant that I was marking data used that wasn’t. This saves about an extra 100-200 Meg from an image.

2. Few display errors corrected

3. A 32/64 error meant some files could not be extracted correctly

Thanks to Waninkoko for releasing the source of the WiiFrii code as it allowed me to implement the Trucha bits.
