Infectus Modchip Forum

Waiting the official schematics with good resolution......

Edit 1: Add the power installation.
Edit 2: Look my other post in this thread... new Actel Firmware for Wiiktus.

MANY many MANY TNX!!! VERY NICE JOB!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sorry for the stupid question but I've never installed a ModChip in my life.... Weren't there supposed to be 13 wires...?

11  wires in D2c Controller and 2 wires to power (Vcc and Gnd).

where are the grn and vcc connections can someone show me.thanks colyn

Then, ¿ the wiiktus, will work with wii d2c from USA? i need buy one modchip for my console and infectus is the better option. please answer me....

In attachment a NEW actel firmware. Fixed a bug on reset.  ;) ;)

how to we program the new firmware the d2c.dat file.thanks colyn

and can we program the actel firmware when its soldered into place or do we have to unsolder it.thanks colyn

so, is the wiiktus working on d2c from USA or not? plz answer me, im very anisous to buy one of your modchip.

Looks good, 11 wire on the chip
Now waiting for the release date and where to buy.

Hi,

The diagram doesn't match with the first image of Wiictus.
I prefer this one!

Thanks for the job.

So... all the connections on the D2C Controller Micro have corresponding via points on the bottom side of the controller PCB... we can install ARGON chip without solder any wire on the micro :)

This is a very good situation :D :D :D

Just when you think it can not get better I come along and make it just a bit easier.

For those of you who don't want to solder to the IC Legs I have made an Alternate Install guide. You have 2 extra sets of points and can make your own combination now.

The image the released above I could not make out the exact letters but tried the best I could if someone can confirm the letters above that would be great.

I read the original Diagram above as

Perfect!! This is what I write this morning ;)

But you don't have included the alternate point for "C" connection...

You must open ACTEL with infectus program, and load the last firmware posted in this post.  ::)

thanks klash

but how do i do that

Does the PCB adapter work on the Infectus2?

im having so much trouble unbelerviable

has anybody got it to work yet i have soldered it in all fine and origionals play fine but wont read a back up is this because i have the first firmware and need to upgrade it or is something wrong. can i upgrade it why soldered into place and can any body tell me in laymens terms how to upgrade as have no idea.

thanks colyn

i wish someone from infectus would give us a hand

-connect infectus at pc and go in tools>open infectus
-after go on load DAT and select the donloaded firmware
-now click on program
-wait until finish

is perfectly functionally!!!

(are you sure to have connected all point=?= incluse gnd?)

HAVE FUN!!!  ;D ;D ;D

since i am in Mexico @ America i bought  my wii for xmas in the USA and i need to know  if Infectus with argon firmware will work with the board D2C from USA, if not i will have to buy and install "the other" modchip, and i think that infectus is better, but no one answer me.

Plz if someone know if the Infectus Work, please tellme.

Thanks in advance.

So you HAVE to install the firmware BEFORE soldering??? If an upgade becomes available I have to detach the chip???

No, it's not important to program the chip before the installation. You can program the chip , also after your installation.

 Sorry for my stupid question

 GND point is connected where ?

sorry for my english

Please tellme does the infectus with argon work with my D2C board from Wii buyed in the USA?

sorry for my english.

thanks in advance.

I am ask again and again, because this modchip is not sell in america and i have to buy from Spain, and i don't want to expose my money.

Wherever you want its the ground point (like d2ckey gnd point for example)

Tested today on japan and usa version.  IT WORK! :)

If you check 1st page of this topic you will see image of where to attach the GND

(http://www.playforce.se/pimpkittah/WIIKTUS-fixed.jpg)

Here's the fixed image with correct labels on the points
(required 20/20 vision) =)

ps dont forget to buy some from the shop if your swedish ;)

Tested and worked perfectly!

 ;D ;D ;D ;D Thanks Thanks Thanks  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Good Job.  ;D

this is driving me insane i have wired it up just like the diagram says oriigonal disks work fine but back ups dont, check all conections with a meter. theres 5 volts at power and not bridged points i upgraded chips to firmware 2 i have tried 2 different infectus chips as have 4 waiting and exactly the same thing origionals works but back ups just spin like they are going to load then stops and says in the disk channel disk can not be read. any help would be great .thanks

have you connected GND too? and checked for possible shorts between pins?

For those of you who like to do all the IC Legs I have made this one for the InfectUs team.

Original Install: http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/9708/wiiktustbx8.jpg

(http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/9708/wiiktustbx8.jpg)

yes no shorts what so ever and yes connected ground tried 2 different ground connections. puzzled

going to try another one of my chips on another wii if same happens must be chips perhaps they have not programed right

Hi, I'm french.
I tested the diagram and I have same result...
With the first firmware, I read an original but no backup.
With the second firmware, the original make an error and the backup is not detected...
I had test with different dvd. all my backup is good on my DMS.

Hello here,
It seems that some experiences problems with infectus on D2C, but not other, does anybody managed to get this to work with a PAL version of the wii ?

o0killerBong0o has problems, and since he is french, I suppose he must have a PAL wii.
Maybe that could be a clue? So twice better than never,

Did someone managed to get this to work with original/backup games on a PAL wii ?

Thanks for your replies.

Yes it works, Test on PAL Wii Seriel: LEH 150xxxxxx


Thax Infectus Team for another nice update.

thank you, I will try A.S.A.P (maybe on monday). I will let you know my results.
my wii is with serial LEH  147xxx, just to let people know, and to avoid forgetting to give it.

Hi,

Maybe a trouble with firmwaren have you take the .dat file  ?

Hi,
yes, I take the latest .dat, the flashing is good, but it's even worse with it, even the originals are not detected.
I have a Wii PAL with a SN:LEH 1513xxxx.

about flashing, I have try with few modchip and maybe you have trouble (but I don't want to disturb this news, maybe another topic will be beter  => in french  ::) )

yes , no problem.but I think that flashing is good...
and yes, I prefer in french because my english is very limited... :D :D
but I think that flashing is good...

So is there a way of disabling the region overide?

   
I am having problems with some games after using the infectus

1 dragon ball budokai 2 hangs in the presentation
2 mario sunshine (gc) not run
3 soulcalibur legends hangs in the presentation
4 super mario galaxy freeze in some loadings
5 resident evil cronicles freeze in in some loadings


my wii is ntsc with infectus v1 with second firmware http://www.infectus.biz/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=456.0;attach=61 (http://www.infectus.biz/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=456.0;attach=61)

I use this instalation point http://console-scene.info/files/WIIKTUS.jpg


this is normal ?

Okay, it works.
I wanted to put the chip in my external wire were therefore quite long.
I have all the shortcuts and backup are detected.
I will test some backups, original, import ... etc. ..

http://www.infectus.biz/diagrams/Wiiktus.JPG

The point C is it a G or a C  :-\

Team infectus please make a good picture and clearly state the points and letters to solder. The picture you provided is verry poor of quality and you can hardley read the letter to connect, they are not clearly readable. you cant read the p or o clearly. This is not how is should be done. People will make wrong connections etc. and this is not professional. So please correct it. ;)

The points are not the same as the ones in the news section picture http://www.infectus.biz/downloads/argoninstallation.JPG ???   ???

I know there are alternate point pictures but I wan't to be 100% sure for me and all the customers that are going to install this chip.

Mike,

dcISO has posted a great picture here:
http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/9708/wiiktustbx8.jpg

You should read the entire thread, this is on page 3.

Hey guys, where can i buy this chip in canada with all the things i need? they dont come programmed? i will need to do it myself? can someone point me in the right directions cause the d2ckey is a pain.

Hi, I'm french
For information backups work but with some freez ... Too often to my  ;)
For freez I hope this is a problem of bios, which will be resolved later.
If they are wires that are too long I can shorten, but they are already shorter than the picture
Otherwise Infectus with bios of the forum and make backup with verbatim and DVD burner pioneer 111D.

Congratulations to the team for what is already done.

THANKS!

once the game has booted, the chip's work is done. if the games freeze, it's your media or laser.

I am taking many freezes with dr.hank which I use midia

For who don't believe us! :)   ;D ;D ;D

I'm sorry but i can't answer on other forums , especially one.... In the pass, they have ban me every time i try to write a single word. They wanna be the "free heroes" but censure the competitors. They are the first to have big interests and try to  shutup , giving bull shit to others for their interest. ( Excuse me for my poor english )

So, the only one thing that i can do, is read and answer here if possible :P

If I understand correctly the Infectus1 also be used for the Wii's, or do you need to have the Argon chip ?

Exactly what I wanted to know, whats the difference between infectus1 and infectus2? Apart from the way it looks I mean. Does infectus2 have any technical advantage over the infectus1?

sometime you must reboot your Wii after put a wii game to play with another one  :'(


I don't see difference on your pictures  ???
But I don't see wire for the ground

For me, it's not working with the ground of your diagram

as said before, no. the ONLY difference is that the USB plug is on an extra ribboncable.

xavbox: have you try with the .dat released few days ago?

Quick Question:
Can I buy this chip and where? I am in canada

yes and the same .dat works on another Infectus  :'(

I think you have problems on your installation.... too long wires? Bad gnd? Noise on some wire?

when loading tha .dat for programming give me this error is it normal?
IDCODE = 0000

STAPL_IDCODE = 29121cf

The IDCODE of the target device does not match the STAPL file.

even with this i programmed the chip al 100%, then i instaled the chip, in the end i confirmed all with multimeter and all ok, when i connect the wii drive completely dead, i disconnect the chip and drive alive again, what could this be, i have instaled over 200 consoles ps2 wiis etc and never have problems, so i don´t know i will try again to see what happens.

Usually the warning is present.  Look the progress bar. If it continue , is not a problem.

I can say about smg and soulcalibour are working nice.

they are imports?

I have installed the chip same way as in this picture, but i cannot close the wii casing. The usb connector is touching some black plastic.

Can you tell me where i can put infectus chip so that the wii can be closed after chip installation?

Sorry, we put infectus in this way because don't need to close the console :P

To close it, rotate the chip of 180° and move it near the main board (move right).

Ok so here is my test result !

I loaded 2 games burned on DVD-R verbatim @ 4x speed using Nero 6 software and Pioneer 112D DVD burner

- Metroid prime 3 corruption
- Mario Striker Charged football

Wii D2C + Infectus v1 ( with new d2c.dat firmware )

note : The two games works flawessly with 7 other Wii modded with Yaosm 2.0, Wiikey, and Wiinja v2

Metroid prime 3 works ok ( at least level 1 )

Mario striker freez the Wii MANY times ( always on ramdomly LOADING page ), needing turning OFF and ON the Wii ( note that RESET button is disable but loading screen annimation runing fine, as the Wiimote )


Hey guys, I think your chip doesn't stop patching drive when game's loaded, please correct it ;)

I hope you have the original disk!!


To be sure that the problem is the chip and not the laser or media or laser + media, can you try to install one of your  wiikey or wiinja or yaosm?

verbatims have trouble on some wiis.

Same laser and mainboard but Replaced D2C DVD board + infectus with D2B DVD board + Yaosm 2.0

result :

Metroid prime 3 = OK 100%
Mario striker = OK 100%

Verbatim DVD-R worked flawessly with ALL Wii we modified this year using à lot of different chip, there is absolutly no compatibility issue

The Infectus firmware IS the problem, it simply try to patch the game when loading, not a big bug, but need to be corrected before Argon release

that said, keep in the good works, it's really impressive to do the same things 31 wires mod do using only 13 ;)


ps : insinuate my copys are not legit is very disrepectful, do you want a shot showing you orig + backup ?

backup of Super Mario Galaxy is working, but it's true, actualy there is few little problems

- freez
- need to reboot sometime the Wii


No, we don't need... I'm sure you are a good guy
 ;D tu me montreras sur MSN avec ta super webcam ?  ;)

Hello Xavbox and KAISER TECHNOLOGIE!
I'have the same problem.....
Can we hope a new firmware????
Thanks.
tgv26

I wanted to make 100% sure before posting myself but after testing on 3 seperate Wiis all of them NTSC-USA 3.1U I have the same problems with the Infectus but once I put the D2Ckey on the problem goes away.

Hi ,

Congratulation for you're job

just an question:

i past an big pre order for the Argon .

The Argons chip are already programming whith the same code than Infectus  (freeze/bug problem )?

regards

Moscito
 

   
The developers insist that the problem is in midia or the laser, the same console I tried to d2ckey and worked perfectly

I'm sure they understand now that's not media/laser related, and will bring to we a great update BEFORE argon release ( just had to remove patching DVD chipset when disc loading... easy !! )  ;)

unless, the argon will sign the end of infectus team ( refund all resellers because of deffective chips... GLUPS ! ).....

We are trying to find the problem.

To help us, can you solder your gnd like our installation ?

(http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/411/p1010044pq3.jpg)

Look... top left and bottom right of infectus pcb.  We solder the pads directly on the metal.

Can you try in this way ?? We need to understand if is a problem of gnd or other

KAISER TECHNOLOGIE: you are a little drammatic...

Hello,
I use same ground (like our installation), and
- freez
- need to reboot sometime the Wii
http://www.infectus.biz/forum/index.php?topic=484.msg2828#msg2828

same result for me !


Yeah but you responded and that was little or less the goal ;)

Try this new version.

ARGON situation,

right now all the test made on ARGON don't show the problem reported on WIIKTUS FIRMWARE... we have in our laboratory 4 wii D2C (1 JAP, 1 US, 2 PAL) under testing, 8 hours per day with differents games that work on them...

We don't know right now the real problems of the INFECTUS2 WIIKTUS application, but ARGON is PERFECT... but with your BETA TESTING (because remember that WIIKTUS is in BETA) we are trying to find the solution.
Probably can be an electrical problem of INFECTUS2 PCB that need some fix.. on argon that is more simple PCB we don't report same problems..

I tell this because we test very well ARGON under stress for many days before release it... anyway, REMEMBER THAT ARGON IS UPDATABLE, so if we discovery any problem in the future can be FIXED, not like D2CKEY that all will be FUCKED!

In few days picture of new INFECTUS JTAG PROGRAMMER will be posted, will arrive in the market first 10 days of jan, STREET PRICE will be 15 eur, very cheaper ;)

Don't worry all INFECTUS PROJECTS are studied to be 100% versatile and ready to support the evolution of the SCENE EVER!!!

BYE BYE

Since the letters are different on the ARGON PCB I have went ahead and mapped out the ALT INSTALL to be used with Argon. Remember this is for the Argon and not the Infectus! using these points with the Infectus may cause problems!!

(http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/5617/argonaltxz4.jpg)

That's great! This will save lots of time for the install. Can't wait to do the first install! :D

When soldering to the bottom of the board one needs to remove the lacker first? Just wondering since it seems allot easier to solder then to each leg of the chip (they are so close to each other).

yes, you do.

I just tried a lenline brush for my first time for laquer removal. Wow it is a great tool. Anyone that has never tried one owes it to themself to get one if they think they are a serious installer. It will make the alt point install as easy as pie.
Thats a great alt install pic here too!

Hi

Argons arrived today in france

Tanks,Tanks,Tanks

Moscito

Great tip for the fibreglass brush, just ordered one (and some refills) and works a treat :)

So, the picture (alt install pic) that is up here (argonaltxz4.jpg) is confirmed ? 3.3v and GND points verified ? All letters in place ;)   Great, thank you very much (all of the contributors ;) )

Hi ,
i tested the argon whith succes (alternatifs points and on the up)
the problem is not a problem , all games are ok.
but just an question :
why the wii need two focus for work ?
i listen two boot for working
one for detect if is an copy and one after for send the game ..
no visible at the sreen, but just listening.
can you put an update for send the game directly ?

regard
Moscito
(i think than i can modify youre data if you need)

I have fitted 3 Argon chips on D2C boards. I used the alternative points on bottom side of board. However along with other people on different forums i am experiencing freeze problems during the FMV sequences of some games eg Super Mario Galaxy, Smackdown 2008, NFS: Prostreet, Wario Ware. The freezing is quite random.

Is this problem because the first batch of Argon chips are not the latest firmware?
Or is this a fault?
 Many people have the same problem but according to Oscar these were tested for many hours on differnet consoles etc

Will it be updatable with new JTAG programmer?

Hi Coaster,

Not sure if first batch of Argon had older firmware,  maybe the problem is because of that and yes Argon can be updated with JTAG programmer which should be available from 14th Jan. You can preorder it on www.hardstore.com right now.

Hi ,

sometimes freezes for me too ,
need reboot the wii ....


wait and see....

So where can I find the alternative points for an Infectus2 chip?

Hi all,

When will the wiiktus diagram with 17 wires be released?

Thanks all

Good work
Keep it up!!

In main page. It was released  some days ago.

Thanks for your reply however am I missing somthing? The only diagram I found was for argon 17wires not infectus17wires.. thanks again

http://www.infectus.biz/diagrams/argon1_3betadiagram.jpg (http://www.infectus.biz/diagrams/argon1_3betadiagram.jpg)

Opss... sorry...  For wiiktus is not released yet.

Oh ok I tought so :) by any chance... do you have somthing in mind? any date maybe?

Cheers
Xeno

I whould like to see the infectus 17wire diagram to.
Once that's up, i'll buy one. I'm getting my wii somewhere next week
(damn nintendo, why do you deliver your wii's SO SLOWLY ^^, yur missing out good money)

Hi all,

Any news on which pins will be used to connect the 4 point to infectus?

Cheers

so if I got it right wiiktus is for Infectus2, theres just too many names... :)

Infectus = Infectus2

Hi, are we going to get the diagram for Wiiktus  alternative (with Infectus 2 chip?)

If you want the diagram for the backside of the board just replace the letters in the Argon diagram with the one in the normal Wiiktus
