Title: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: OscarHS on May 13, 2008, 06:03:11 pm INFECTUS TEAM - ARGON SPI - 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 (13/05/08)
Finally we are back with the correct 9 wires update! (This time full tested with about 15 beta users arround the world) Download it here: http://www.infectus.biz/downloads/WASABUS-argon-1.1.zip (http://www.infectus.biz/downloads/WASABUS-argon-1.1.zip) In this ZIP fill you will find these things: 1- INFECTUS PROGRAMMER, beta version to manage correctly ARGON SPI update 2- wasabus_argon.bin, this is the firwmare that is necessary to flash inside the SPI flash of ARGON 3- wasabus_a125argon-1.1.dat / wasabus_a250argon-1.1.dat, these are the new ACTEL firmware to support 9 wires installation Please read "PROCEDURE TO PROGRAM ARGON SPI.DOC" for update your argon correctly to 9 wires. IMPORTANT: Don't connect injectus when modchip is working in the wii console, with injectus connected argon is unstable. The only difference between previus diagram is the bridge necessary between C and D pads of argon, both connected then to C point on motherboard... check diagram in the zip file. WASABUS debug LEDS: The LED on the ARGON will show you if modchip is correctly working or not, is very simple LED OFF = Don't works LED ON = Code injection procedure is complete REGIONAL SETUP: Current firmware is setup by default like PAL. To setup the other region just shortcut the pads W and R in this way: Both to GND = modchip OFF W to GND = JAP R to GND = USA Note: injectus don't works anymore in this version like configurator with switches and leds, for a problem develope. We are working on that. If there are problems with modchip we suggest to don't connect injectus when modchip is working in the console. ------ THANX FOR ALL INFECTUS TEAM Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: DarkDJack on May 13, 2008, 06:22:53 pm GREAT ! thank you so much :)
First test... I have programed the Actel with Wasabus250.dat.. and After the InfectusProgrammer don't see my SPI flash. If I click to "Flash command" and "Erase" the program said : (http://imageshack-france.com/out.php/i91542_Sanstitre.JPG) After, InfectusProgrammer Shut down.... I reboot the InfectusProgrammer and.. It's Working ! Now he can see my SPI flash. I don't know why but it's not working the first time and after reboot it's ok. THANKS ;) Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT!

Wasabus code working for this model ? thank you for information .. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: Cade on May 13, 2008, 08:31:28 pm Thanks!!
Flashing right now... all is looking good so far. Flashed Wasabus firmware and SPI Flash is recognised. Will keep you updated. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: DnD on May 13, 2008, 08:34:34 pm Arrfff ! i have a D2B with 3 cut ! :o Wasabus code working for this model ? thank you for information .. !! NO !! only D2C atm Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: DarkDJack on May 13, 2008, 08:45:23 pm Okay thank you ;) Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: Cade on May 13, 2008, 08:47:26 pm Okay, flashing the SPI Flash went flawless. Turned the Wii off, removed Injectus and turned the Wii back on again and the blue LED on the Argon lights up! All good so far. Now I have to wait till my girlfriend finishes watching her favorite TV series before I can test any backups and originals :(
Btw. Oscar is talking about removing the Injectus programmer when the modchip is working. Does he mean only the Injectus or do we have to remove the flatcable as well (from the Argon)? I really hope we can leave the flatcable attached to the Argon. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: krayziexploiter on May 13, 2008, 08:52:29 pm you can leave the flatcable. It should make no difference.
Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: bigup on May 13, 2008, 09:03:39 pm just a quick question
do you have to install the argon first, then flash it with injectus whilst argon is fitted to the wii? or can you flash the argon while it is not fitted? thanks Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: DarkDJack on May 13, 2008, 09:17:29 pm You can flash the Argon just with the Injectus and your PC ;) Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: theforce81 on May 13, 2008, 09:39:46 pm Works like a charm now, thanks!

Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: Cade on May 13, 2008, 10:10:42 pm Hmmmm, an Imation DVD-RW 4x burned at 4x booted perfectly with the game (Guitar Hero III) and running fine untill you load up the first song: gives read error.
A Fujifilm DVD+R 8x burned at 4x with the same game boots up very difficult with clicking noises (D2Pro anyone?). Loading takes very long and you can hear clearly the drive has problems reading the disc. However it passes the loading screen before the first song but the audio is out of sync and stutters continuously. The game is unplayable. I'm now gonna try burning the Imation DVD-RW 4x again at 2x speed and see what happens. Also gonna try a Memorex DVD+RW 4x and a Maxell DVD+R 16x. Damnit, it would suck if the Fujifilms (DVD+R 8x) aren't compatible with my Wii DVD drive because I have a shitload of them. I will try another one with another game and hope I will get better results. Maybe I should try another burning speed? I read that you should burn with half the speed of what the disc is capable off but maybe that's not always the case or maybe it's even total bullshit. Anyone?

Post by: Cade on May 13, 2008, 10:59:38 pm forget RW media mate, try using some DVD-R and test it with that, Grab some decent Verbatim DVD-r stop being a scrooge, lol i dont know anyone who uses RW for games :p Haha, thanks for your input. I'm using RW discs to see if the game is worthy for a definate burn and if it is a good dump. A RW is perfect for testing out various things before a final burn to a +R or -R. Btw. I burned the game again to the Imation DVD-RW 4x but this time at 2x speed. Guess what.... runs like a smooth baby bottom! :) Wow, didn't know the DVD drive was so picky about burning speeds, and I'm not talking about the difference between 2x and 16x burning speeds but just between 2x and 4x burning speed! Seems like the new firmware is working great! Don't know if the media compatibility is better too? If the 1.8 firmware couldn't handle RW discs, well...... with this Wasabus firmware it does which is great news to some of you, I'm sure. ;) Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: Td on May 13, 2008, 11:14:12 pm I would HIGHLY recommend against DVD-RWs of any type. They are usually extremely difficult for a laser to read. DVDs are a couple cents each. It's not gonna kill you to burn it on a DVD-R. I'm assuming you're getting the game for free anyway if you need to know where or not you need to burn it first.
Aside from that, using DVD-RWs (or crappy DVD-Rs) will kill your wii's laser faster. They are more difficult to read than a normal DVD-ROM, which the laser is designed for. It has to use more power to read these DVDs and will burn out sooner. Just my opinion though.. you can do whatever you want with your $250 Wii to save 20 cents. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: honest_al on May 13, 2008, 11:25:30 pm when i first plugged in my injectus when the new version of injectusprogrammer was runing, it said it was doing an update so i allowed it to update.
then i plugged injectus to argon and blue led shown. i followed the .doc guide and updated argon to the new 1.8, then erased flash, the wrote the new bin, and once all complete, the blue led no longer illuminates when i connect to jtag. please note, these are not fitted to wii, they are straight from packet.

Did you flash the 1.8 firmware or the Wasabus 1.1 firmware to your Argon? If you flashed it with the 1.8 firmware like you say above (it could be a typing error) that could be your problem. If you flashed it with the Wasabus 1.1 firmware it could be possible that it only lights up when installed. Maybe another user that didn't install yet can clearify this for you. A question for other users that installed their Argon: With the Wasabus firmware, does your blue Argon LED stay on? Even when you insert originals and put your Wii in standby mode (yellow LED on Wii). I noticed this and was wondering if this is correct behaviour. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: crisdo98 on May 14, 2008, 01:06:08 am I must say a big thank you.. just installed my first 9 wire argon and I must say I'm very impressed so far. It may just be late but I even think it detected and booted my test game quicker then usual too!
Once D2Pro release their DVD update feature then Infectus can do the same without fear of others copying it ;) I'm not too fused bout D2A/DMS/D2B-cut legs as I'll continue to use YAOSM for these models even once Argon supports these. The whole update .doc was a bit backwards writted but it was very easy to flash to Argon9 1.0. Simply update the actel with the .dat using Tools/open injectus/load .dat/program... Then once flashed close the dialogue box, Flash commands/erase.. then Write and chose the .bin.. coudn't be simpler! Thanks very much guys.. I've always had faith and cheers for bringing out the goodies.. look forward to the future. Chris Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT!

Post by: idog on May 14, 2008, 09:03:58 am I have an Argon here with a broken off JTAG connector (well, a few actually, but that's another story). Anyway, I was wondering if I can use the Infectus (1) to program it with this new 9-wire 1.1 firmware or does it only work with the Injectus ?
(the chip works great with the 1.8 on it, so the chip itself is not the issue). Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: Chipwelt on May 14, 2008, 10:40:30 am Now, the flash again without Wii... (http://ps3-tools.de/images/smilies/gut.gif)
once again a great respect for work ... Thanks Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 Post by: crisdo98 on May 14, 2008, 11:58:29 am Ok guys the 9 wire version I installed last night at 1am seems to be working ok. I installed another this morning and it seemed to be very temperamental with inserting and ejecting disks.
I'm elaborate; This is a new machine yet to be configured.. i turned it on by inserting a backup which it took in but paused half way then continued on it's way. I thought nothing of it as when I looked up the screen suggested that I had to set up the console... anyhows, all set up.. no worries and the disk was recognised, booted and seems 100%.. so far. then pressed Home and went back to the Menu and tried to eject the disk... this is where I struggled.. took me 4 or 5 eject pushes to get the disk to eject.. seemed strange so I inserted it again... this time it just paused half way in and I had to actually gently remove the disk. The drive was then frozen and I had to push the reset button to get it to respond again. Since beginning this post I've actually isolated the problem to the length of the 'C' wire. I'll post the pic of the install and the pic after moving the chip and shorting 'C' as well as making sure the 'C' wire does not cross any other wires. I know Wasabi and D2Pro have/had similar issues but having never installed anything but Argons I've found this to be a new problem I personally have never faced. I've now given it a hard time with a thorough insert, eject, reset regime and it's now appears 100%. If anyone else has had similar problems try the above. Thanks Infectus for a great chip and look forward to the DVD update feature. Below is the before and after install.

Post by: crisdo98 on May 14, 2008, 12:13:21 pm Ok, just screwed it back together and thought i'd test it again.. it's now giving me grief.. disk inserts fine but on eject it only comes out half way.
Any ideas please share.. in the meantime I will need to continue to install the 17 wire mod :( Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT!

Any ideas please share.. in the meantime I will need to continue to install the 17 wire mod :( This is a comon problem on wasabi and the earlier d2pro9 chips. It seems like the chip resets itself after each eject causing weird ejecting behaviour. D2pro fixed it with an update so it's up to team infectus to follow.

Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: krayziexploiter on May 14, 2008, 08:53:21 pm Be patient. Like you noticed it doesn't happen on all wii's so it's hard to test it without a large group. We know it's possible to fix so give them time to understand the chip better.

I have a strange reaction... All wires are fixed but my DVD'reader not working. It has no reaction when i turn on my wii.

Yes i have Programed my flash two time.. and programmer said "Succes". My Wires are short and i have a WII PAL so i don't make a connection for Region .. juste the bridge C and D.

Its the same problem on Infectus2 Wasabus, its not only a few not working. I stop install like Wasabus becuse i dont want to spendt time on programming wasabus, install and then reprogram to wiiktus and undo wasabus install for doing wiiktus install. then ill rather make the 17 wirres right away and save some time. I think its better to fix the problem befor porting to Argon. Many costumers wont bye the Injectus and they end up whith a mod not working for there consol, and now have to sendt mod back ore bye Injectus. As long this problem is not fixed i consider this as beta and not final. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT!

Now i have 2 pcs. Infectus2 that cant run whith the USB unit on flat cabel, and 1 wont run at all. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: crisdo98 on May 16, 2008, 08:42:05 am It would be great to get some input from Infectus or even the so-called '12 beta testers' that gave this the final All Systems Go!
I install the 9 wire on every D2C because I'd prefer the option of dvd updates in the future for my clients. I thoroughly test that the reset, eject works like 20 times before giving it the go ahead. If it's not 100% then I go away and install the 17 wire method.. would be nice to know you guys are aware of this issue and working on it. I'm down to my last 20 chips and if there in no progress in the near future I'll simply order D2Pros... this isn't a threat just comes down to supply and demand and the consumer demands stability which at this point in time I can't offer to my clients with the current post :( Great work all the same and hope to hear from someone soon.

Post by: crisdo98 on May 16, 2008, 10:51:41 am It's still hit and miss. I've got a job in 1 hour so I'll try doing a normal install and see if the same problem occurs (so far it's been a 50% chance) and try maybe extending the clock 'C' wire or even using the point beside it to see if this fixes the problem.
If I find anything i'll post it up. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: DarkDJack on May 16, 2008, 11:05:38 am Thank you, I will try...
does Infectus team Know this problem ? I want just know if we have a chance to see a solution for this problem in a futur Update 1.2 :p héhé I will say thanks to infectus team for this work ;) Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: Jadgamez on May 16, 2008, 05:15:55 pm Ok flashed the chip and bridged the C to D point and now it all powers up ;D I am so glad to see that blue light after two weeks. ;)
Closed it up and tested many games and they all boot perfectly. In fact this new method loads the games up faster ;D I haven't had a problem with the eject as apparently there are 3 version of D2C drives. V1 is what I believe I have, V2 has the timing issue that D2CPro has just fixed. And V3 which are the new 'unmodable' ones. This brings me onto my next point. What is the news on the V3 D2C drives? Have you got one? Are you working on it? Have you cracked it? Will it still be 9 wires or back to patching? These questions are important to me as I am running low on Argons and will need to order some more however I a very tempted to move over to the darks side :'( As they have fixed the V2 issues and are now working on V3 plus more. I didn’t like the Wiikey team at first but they have now picked themselves up and are currently on top of things and I need something that works now. Give us some news don’t let me loose face :'( Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT!

Just use the InfectusProgrammer-0.0.3.9.3 for Wiiktus, and only use InfectusProgrammer-0.0.3.9.4 for Argon Wasabus Its like the same problem there was with the Infectus 060 that wont run wiiktus 1.8 with USB adapter on, solution was to use wiiktus 1.7, but there is no wiiktus 1.7 for the Infectus 125. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: delaware on May 17, 2008, 04:17:58 pm i have also the eject problem when i Install Argon with 1.1 bios 9 Wires.
FIrst wii worked Fine. Second and Third make some straigh things. He Takes Disc and stops and takes it again. very Slow. It seems that the BIOS 1.1 doesnt work 100% on every D2c Board. But i did not have any problems mit D2pro Chips 9 Wires. I installed many and all of them Work. But i had the same proble with 2 Wasabi installs.

Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: crisdo98 on May 17, 2008, 09:28:54 pm Ok for the time being it would be nice to be able to tell between v1 and v2 D2C chipsets.
I've just modified a d2c with the serial LEH175907 and it works sweet. I modded a LEH182 that had the reset on eject issue. Does anyone know how to tell the difference without having to install a modchip? I'd suggest for others to also log their serials so we have a basic list of working serials and non-working for reference. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: Jadgamez on May 17, 2008, 11:33:23 pm There is NO proper way of telling the difference between V1 and V2 D2C's or even the new V3's the ONLY proper way is to install a mod. If I get an eject problem I will just do the 17 wires install instead. However I do hope the problem is fixed ASAP.

Oscar or anyone from Infectus it would be nice to hear from someone on these 'support forums' to confirm that you are aware of these issues and working on the problem. The main and only reason I use Argon is because of the support which of the late has become less and less and more about the dollars... D2Pro, sure, were pretty crap with their support for the WiiKey but have been spot on with D2Pro and I'd hate to say it but I'll be getting a quote for 100 D2Pros for my next batch.

Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: crisdo98 on May 18, 2008, 09:05:35 pm Thanks for your pointless post Larry. I'm actively posting in this forum along with others who are simply trying to assist Infectus with this new firmware.
Firstly, they stated it was tested by 12 beta testers who gave it the all clear. In none of the release notes does it suggest that there are any issues which is why a number of people in the forum are expressing their concern that a confident and head strong team seem to not even acknowlegde that there are problems. I've seen on wiinewz that people who have been using this 1.1 firmware have not been experiencing these problems and would love for someone to put there hand up and say 'Hey, you're doing this wrong' or 'Thanks for bringing this to our attention.. just to let you know that indeed we are aware and hope to have this sorted out for our LOYAL supporters as soon as possible'. I for one have been very loyal to the Team Infectus and love their work I honestly do but they're slipping and unfortunately 'time' as you put it is not on their side. It's not just me but the majority of installers I associate with who will simply change to a product that seems to be progressing and progressing rapidly. For team infectus to simply accidently 'guess' the encryption password for the Wasabi firmware then manipulate and port it directly to the Argon without any improvements is pretty piss poor... This shows nothing with regards to their ability and I for one wish they would put faith back in our hands. I really hope to hear from someone from Infectus and only someone from Infectus.

Hold off on that 100-d2pro order for now. Last I read on wiinewz is that no new firmware on itself will work on the D2C2's and it will require an entirely new chip altogether to get the D2C2's modded properly.

The thing you are not understanding is that they have delivered. They delivered a working chip that's what you paid for, the rest is a nice feature and you would be lucky to have. You bought a chip to play backups, you did not buy a chip so that it could be updated via dvd. If it does one (the former, thank god) and not the other then they delivered. You want more you can wait for it while playing some backups. Infectus is a great chip and it does not cost a lot when you realize what you are getting out of it. By the way... these complaints belong in the problems section. If the moderators have to fumble through all this crap well it makes it that harder to do their job, so you and I are adding to the problem of this chip taking longer. Cheers Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: crisdo98 on May 19, 2008, 01:15:44 pm Thanks for the reply. I actually bought a product that included future support. I also bought the Argon with the assumption that it was better then any competitor in the market. As an installer the Argon is not keeping up with user demand.
Should I not have wanted this then I would have continued to buy D2CKeys and hard wire them or install them with Wii-clips I've since spoken to Michael (one of the sales guys from Infectus) who was in conversation with the technical team and the news to come is that Infectus will release a new firmware next weekend which will have support for D2C2 (without the need for an additional component-unlike D2Pro). As a sales person I got the impression he was confused between D2C v1 and v1.5 but he clearly stated that the new unmoddable consoles will be moddable with the new Argon firmware by the end of this week... No signs of support for v1.5 but if they do pull this off then I'll be hanging around.. As for posting in the problem section the last response from Infectus with regards to the Argon was back in February with the classic 1 liner "We are working on it." Infectus, it's obvious the only people reading this thread are users so to the users out there the Infectus team is working on this and will have a new release come this weekend. Cheers, Chris Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: davide on May 19, 2008, 01:42:54 pm Wow! No need for an hardware revision! This is a very good news!
Only 1 question: If D2C v1 refers to the old chipset and D2C2 refers to the new unmoddable one, what does D2C v1.5 refer to? Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT!

Post by: crisdo98 on May 19, 2008, 03:06:11 pm Wow! No need for an hardware revision! This is a very good news! Only 1 question: If D2C v1 refers to the old chipset and D2C2 refers to the new unmoddable one, what does D2C v1.5 refer to? Firstly I always take these 'release dates' with a grain of salt. The sales guy I spoke to was quite clear that this was indeed for the new unmoddable D2C... Again, you may need to take this also with a grain of salt as it may just be that the release will fix the problems with D2C 1.5. v1.5 refers to the second type of D2C which is moddable but has eject issues where the chip 'resets' itself with every eject. Wasabi, Argon9 1.1 and the older D2Pro9 all had this issue with the D2C 1.5. Let's hope that this all wasn't hype from Michael in sales to keep us on board... I for one will be quite annoyed if it turns out to be crap.... fingers crossed.. for their sake! Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: jonko on May 19, 2008, 04:26:46 pm Well.they hype a lot and don't deliver in time what they promise.
We have to see this weekend. If they deliver the new unmoddable firmware ,then hats off. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: davide on May 19, 2008, 04:43:46 pm Thanks crisdo98. It was quite obvious... stupid me! ;)
IMO a reasonable delay on release dates is always acceptable if the result is worth Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: Jadgamez on May 19, 2008, 04:45:29 pm The whole point of Infectus is to be adaptable as Oscar said they can re-program it to control a coffee machine :D . Anyhow Argon should also be the same providing they have enough address lines so IF the new D2C2’s just require a different FW and/or install points then Argon/Infectous would have proved a PROPER JTAG system is the future. D2PRO has tried to follow suit but if they have to release a new chip they deserve to get slated for yet again more false advertising. I also need to order more chips but I am holding on until I see how this D2C2 pans out as no team has shown their hand as its all still whispers. I hope Oscar is right and they BLOWN D2PRO away then finally all the bitching can stop as ARGON would be the clear winner.
For infectus to kill D2PRO for good they need to: a) Release a FW for Argon AP125 and AP250 before the Infectus version. b) It works on all D2C models (dosen't matter if its back to 17 wires or more) c) Make sure it is fully tested (and works) before release. d) Release it before D2PRO release their solution. If you do this all the D2PRO fans at wiinewz can't say S**T Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: DarkDJack on May 19, 2008, 11:39:09 pm 8) My only question is..

So, - Is a problem in the installation (noise,wired crossed,etc) ? - Is it always present? - Is it present only some time? - Is it present after after a sequence (insert,eject,press,re-insert,etc)? - Is a new sport press eject until some thing is crashing (is better play with a game or press eject) ? :P :P Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT!

So please Infectus can you confirm argon+d2c2 will just need a fw update and not an hw one? Well I wouldn't take this as official confirmation but to Infectus... The machines it has problems on it ALWAYS has problems.. it's not an install issue and it's not because people are trying to 'crash' the chip by inserting/ejecting the disk. Of the 9 installs I've done with Argon9 1.1 5 have been successful. The others I simply insert and straight away eject the disk. If it's problematic then the disk does not eject properly or when it's reinserted it delays the spin up (like 10 seconds)... It's unacceptable to give to the client like this and I then must remove the 9 wire version and continue with the 17 wire version. I have a problem drive here I'm happy to swap with you but it's a client's console so I'd need it pretty quick.. i'm in the UK so turn around time can be very quick.

It always worked for me under XP short USB 2.0 cable connected on the USB ports directly on the mainboard (DON'T use front connectors!), Argon SPI 250 version. These could be the problems from my POV: Bad programmer? Defect on the Argon due to soldering (which I would find highly improbable)? Reinstalled programmer yet in Windows? Using XP/Vista/2K, no SPI on it? Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: Tepane on May 21, 2008, 02:11:46 pm I join the picture :

here some last news: 1- D2C2 console is under analyzing since 5 days right now, at the moment we are focus all develope time to find a solution for the new WII boards, that now is the HIGH priority for the market. 2- Finish the first point we will fix the EJECT problem of the WASABUS 1.1... infact we are a step back with firmware than D2PRO.. but is not a big problem right now, important is that we reach the perfection soon.. 3- After we finish point 1 and 2 we want to add support of DMS consoles so the fimrware will be complete like wasabi. This is the time table... we hope to be the first to release an update to support D2C2 and we are working hard now to fix that... remember one thing, ARGON project is every time in evolution, and who has argon never will have a modchip that is DEAD... argon is LIVE and in the future will be UPDATE with all features that are necessary... we can assure that no one of our distributors will lose money on our project, just wait and all the stocks will works like or better the competitors :) BYE BYE OSCAR Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: krayziexploiter on May 22, 2008, 04:25:13 am D2pro is allready shipping chips for testing purposes. Guess they allready cracked it and they were first again. Anyway I'm sure infectus solves these issues soon also. You can still be the first who releases a firmware update that fixes it.

It would be nice to have a time-frame is actual time and not point form as this can mean months. I was speaking to your sales team who said this weekend... from your reply it doesn't sound like it will be in the near future... Also, to say the supplier will not lose out undermines what the consumer expects from a modchip that's currently available from the competitor. When, when, when is what we need to know! As krazy said Team D2Pro are already shipping their product... sure, it has an additional component but this is of no problem to installers who will quickly use up their old stock in the following months on consoles that are not D2C2... As stated previously, i'm not too fussed about the D2C2 boards til they become mainstream and am more interested in the D2C1.5 fix in the short-term. I'm sure if given time that anything can be sorted out but time really is not on your side and many installers will more to a product that is more stable and able to deliver and progress their product in the shortest possible time without all the hot air.... Look forward to seeing what you have to offer. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT!

Give Infectus some time already ! Please.. go buy some of the D2Pro's to satisfy the neediest customers (good luck explaining to them when the D2Pro's D2C2 TESTchips turn out to be buggy) but give the developers the needed time to create a stable version.. Or would you rather have Infectus release their buggy D2C2 version and then to complain about the quality of that firmware here again ? I too would like have a D2C2 solution rather yesterday than today, but this is where reality kicks in.. have some (more) patience.. tell customers to have some patience for once. They waited this long to buy a Wii (after all, it's only in the last week that D2C2 is popping up everywhere), so they can wait a week (or two) more for it to play their backups... Wii Sports isn't that bad ;) Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: Jadgamez on May 22, 2008, 04:18:45 pm Race lost :(

(This time full tested with about 15 beta users arround the world) Download it here: http://www.infectus.biz/downloads/WASABUS-argon-1.1.zip (http://www.infectus.biz/downloads/WASABUS-argon-1.1.zip) In this ZIP fill you will find these things: 1- INFECTUS PROGRAMMER, beta version to manage correctly ARGON SPI update 2- wasabus_argon.bin, this is the firwmare that is necessary to flash inside the SPI flash of ARGONgreat day to you all, peace! 3- wasabus_a125argon-1.1.dat / wasabus_a250argon-1.1.dat, these are the new ACTEL firmware to support 9 wires installation Please read "PROCEDURE TO PROGRAM ARGON SPI.DOC" for update your argon correctly to 9 wires. IMPORTANT: Don't connect injectus when modchip is working in the wii console, with injectus connected argon is unstable. The only difference between previus diagram is the bridge necessary between C and D pads of argon, both connected then to C point on motherboard... check diagram in the zip file. WASABUS debug LEDS: The LED on the ARGON will show you if modchip is correctly working or not, is very simple LED OFF = Don't works LED ON = Code injection procedure is complete REGIONAL SETUP: Current firmware is setup by default like PAL. To setup the other region just shortcut the pads W and R in this way: Both to GND = modchip OFF W to GND = JAP R to GND = USA Note: injectus don't works anymore in this version like configurator with switches and leds, for a problem develope. We are working on that. If there are problems with modchip we suggest to don't connect injectus when modchip is working in the console. ------ THANX FOR ALL INFECTUS TEAM Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT!

Post by: crisdo98 on May 24, 2008, 07:29:06 pm Giving that I was probably one of the first to rant and rave about the lack of progress and information available to the end user with regards to development I for one must say a big 'Thank You' to the Infectus Team and Oscar for jumping in and finally putting a voice to Infectus.
I now have added faith that indeed Argon will continue to thrive as a market leader and deliver on their promises. Sure enough, Team D2Pro have once again proven that they are a greedy bunch by confirmed that the 'additional component' in non-existant and they just want money to reward their efforts.. pffftt A bit of advice to Team Infectus and the moderators.... Please don't let 'Infectus' post in forums... I don't know who he is and what involvement he/she has but every post is rude and non-informative. A couple of days ago 'Infectus' came on this forum and suggested that no work has progressed on the D2C 1.5 because they haven't got a problemsome board.. I often see posts from this person stating '.. we are working on it'. Coming from a customer service point of view I would prefer not to hear from this person in these forums. Coming from a company point of view this person is tarnishing the reputation of Infectus. Look forward to the final ... keep up the good work. Chris Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: davide on May 25, 2008, 03:47:22 pm crisdo98, like you I appreciate team infectus keeps us informed.
But I don't agree with you about don't letting 'Infectus' post in forum. Maybe he's not the best communicator in the world but he's a competent technician often solving user's problems. IMO that's just what a community needs for. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: Jadgamez on May 25, 2008, 07:53:37 pm So far I have been lucky until now...
I have installed an Argon but having the problem with the drive not responding until I reset the console. Happens completely random as well. This is very annoying as I had to re-flash it to 1.8 and do the 17 wire install. I think this needs to be sorted out ASAP, before D2C2 release. Many Thanks. Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: crisdo98 on May 25, 2008, 10:51:22 pm Looks like it's only a couple of days off now. I still stand by my comments on 'Infectus'.. He should only be commenting in a technical POV if he's a techy and stop coming in and posting useless posts. It's doesn't help anyone especially if he's giving misinformation.. just makes his team look incompetent because he didn't actually know what was going on in the background.
I've been testing my consoles by injecting and ejecting the disk 10-15 times before booting the game and happy to let the console leave my place. Today, I had one that was fine but then after playing the game and returning to the menu I then ejected the disk and the bugger only came out half way and froze the console. My advice is when testing to ensure that the console takes the disk and doesn't respond erratically then boot a game, reset to the menu and try ejecting/inserting regime over again.

I've actually got stock to last me til the middle of next week so it's just a waiting game.

Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: XmodsUK on May 29, 2008, 05:53:25 am yeah, but i've been hanging back from doing 9 wire installs till it becomes stable. Don't want customers coming back with problems. So far I've had no probs with the 17 wire install, and I've not had a D2C2 yet... Hopefully we will have a final 9 wire solution soon, then I can make the jump.
Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: OscarHS on May 29, 2008, 06:00:10 am Hi guys,
today I recieved update from developers, the new firmware is very near to be finish, I think we can confirm friday for official release. The new firmware in the first version will include full support of D2C2 drivers and all old bugs of wasabi like code fixed (eject button too). I read posts of customer that are waiting the update before install ARGON on D2C, cause the eject bug... I suggest to install argon, give the console to customers and ask to return back next week for the update with last version... NEW FIRMWARE REVISION WILL HAVE THE SAME DIAGRAM like previusly (and like all other teams ndr). Of course 100% security that nothing in installation is to change will be confirmed with firmware's release. thanx for now and stay tuned bye Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT!

Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: pitod1 on May 29, 2008, 08:18:44 am Are we going to get updates for the 17 wire argon chips? :-\
Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: crisdo98 on May 29, 2008, 08:24:28 am Are we going to get updates for the 17 wire argon chips? :-\ Thanks for the update Oscar. As for updates for 17 wire I highly doubt it at this stage and I don't really see any reason... Sure, in the future if a new firmware is required to play games then they will definitely update the firmware to accommodate 17 wire users but as it stands I think 9 wire is the future for current D2Cs and D2C2s to come. P.S. In the last 2 days I've come across 3 D2C2s here in SW London. One from Game, another from Game station and the other from Argos.. looks like this firmware will arrive just in the nick of time and even ahead of D2Pros chips which won't even ship til Tuesday of next week :D Keep up the good work and thanks for restoring faith by keeping us in the loop.

Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: moely on May 30, 2008, 10:28:22 am I hope you won't be disappointed, because remember wat Oscar said earlier :
"today I recieved update from developers, the new firmware is very near to be finish, I think we can confirm friday for official release" So they THINK friday will be the day of release. Well, I DON'T THINK so (but of course I hope so). Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: idog on May 30, 2008, 11:41:03 am Damn.. you could also read that differently (seeing as that English is not their strength)..
"today I recieved update from developers, the new firmware is very near to be finish, I think we can confirm friday for official release" --> ".. we can say on Friday when the official release will be... " Please.. let me be wrong.. :o Title: Re: ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE 1.1 IS WORKING AND IS OUT! Post by: 3lix0r on May 30, 2008, 11:58:59 am Why not just wait and see what they actually say rather than guess.
