Thanks for the news of the Argon / Argon2.
But what about Infectus1/2 ?
Is it so difficult to come up with a firmware  ?
Is it only me who is missing firmware to Infectus1/2 ?
Is service not for all customers, even those who have purchased the flagship of modchip ?

INFECTUS2 firmware will be available soon too... it hasn't any problem because 24Mhz are on board..

Regarding oscillator of course we will release infos and diagram, we are checking some brands and when we have the correct one we will post picture and part no.

About ARGON SPI A3P125 we want only to fix the reset issue that still present in some installation on A3P125...

In all cases the currents firmwares are sufficient stables to be installed, is possible only to have some problems to find good clock position, but here in our laboratory we have a problem only on 1 console every 5 pcs...

BYE

It sounds good. 
OscarHS thanks for the update on Infectus1 / 2

Omdat wij geen hobbiesten zijn en graag nieuwe producten willen ondersteunen en helpen ontwikkelen. Wij staan een paar stappen voor de end-users zoals jij.
En op de frontlinie te zitten in deze ontwikkeling te zitten is niet 'simpel'.

ok, inderdaad...dat is heel juist.
respect voor jullie allemaal die het mogelijk maken om een modchip te ontwikkelen.

How about reflections on clk wire? which frequency has the clk? It can be useful to terminate the clock wire on argon side. some experience with that?

[...] just use a wiiclip.... [...]

Yes, "just" a wiiclip. I would NEVER use clips. Some people killed their drive because of this clip, in a PS2 with EZI the same things happened.
But it's your choice to use it, not mine^^

Price of addon will be like 1 eur and less in qts... of course is not so happy that users need to pay again to keep updated old stocks, but with this little costs all can use OLD stocks again.

Great! I hoped for this statement! Good move.

33MHz. You can look at the pics here.

OK, in this case the clock wire is "short enough" for 33 MHz.

Hi Oscar.

I believe the move to onboard OSC the good decision.

But, for customers like me, with only A3P125 in stock, first having to order additional SPI to support wasabus, then having to wait 3 weeks to get a beta, for me not working at all, now having to wait again 2 weeks to order the OSC add on, at best, it's ... hard.

Adding waiting weeks to waiting weeks this way will give months, not realy good for the business (your and our).

So, if the OSC hardware is ok in tests, I think it would be "correct" to give to your customers the ability to make themself this part, with all the reponsability limitations.

I think "pro" have the ability to make this OSC from local parts, if you give the schematics and a picture.

If you don't want to give theses infos, but why as other teams have this OSC, you can give the connections of this OSc and the clk, and of course the working firmware.

I see this solution as temporary, until your factory OSC reach us.

Bye.

Hello Oscar!

What about support for Korean region Nintendo Wii??

how is it sufficiently stable for installation when even in the LAB, under best case scenario all you get is 4/5 that work "properly", we as installers can't be bringing in customers on the basis that they "may" get a working console back after installation and we can't be opening, installing, playing around with the console and then end up removing the chip because it doesn't work. Could you please at least explain why beta 3 works better than 3.1 on some consoles, that alone tells me that there is room for improvement in the code.

Did the schematics change for the install from 1.1 to 1.5?
I'm wondering because a friend of mine did a wiiclip install and has some issues maybe this version can resolve these.

you can't use wiiclip for wasabus firmwares

only 1.8/13-15 wire firmware

[burnzy]

is the 1.8 17 wire install still the way to go for regular D2C's or does the 9 wire really work? wouldn't it have the same clock issues as d2c2?

As far as I know wiiclip v2 is for 13+4 wire install and wiiclip v2b is for 9 wire install.
So only v2b is suitable for wasabus.

17 wire F/W just works. 9 wire F/W can be iffy. I'd go with the 17 wire option.
