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
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

 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 :

 

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

Flashing right now... all is looking good so far. Flashed Wasabus firmware and SPI Flash is recognised. Will keep you updated.

!! NO !!

[DarkDJack]

 Okay thank you

[Cade]

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.

[krayziexploiter]

you can leave the flatcable. It should make no difference.

[bigup]

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

[DarkDJack]

 You can flash the Argon just with the Injectus and your PC

Works like a charm now, thanks!

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?

what has this got to do with the new argon firmware?
