I don't know if mine's a D2C2 or a D2C. The processor on the drive has only one line that says GC2-D2C on it, no second line. But the board dosen't say "APCB D3 94V-0" like all other D2C2's on the net...The serial is Lu56704****. Bought in Toronto.

anyhow, i tried the 13 wire 1.8 mod, the drive was dead, then i tried the original 9 wire mod, the drive was still dead. I assumed it was a D2C2 then..now with these latest firmwares for both D2C & D2C2, the drive comes to life. Once in a while i need to cycle the power cause the disk won't spin (blue led on argon blinks) but evey disk i put in it comes up with "An error has occured, press the eject button and remove the disc..." message.

On another beta testing note, Everytime i ground pin "R" (i have a usa console playing usa games) the injectus can no longer program the SPI EEprom. The numbers on the right hand side of the programming software (next to the words "Board : Injectus") is allways 0000. when i remove the ground from pin "R", I can then reprogram the SPI (it then changes from 0000 to 4D7D). This can't be correct?

All in all. This firmware does not work at all with my version Wii (Yes i have installed MANY MANY mod chips, including about 100 wiis)

Kami!

Ok, I just did a quick test with the new BETA3 firmware. Everyting looks to be working just fine. Now and then a lockup upon inserting a new game, but it only happened one time per 20 insert/eject cycles.

I've tested it on a PAL Wii with a shielded clock wire (wrapped a ground wire around it). I used 4 DVD+R games and a DVD+R DL game (SSBB) to test, all without any problems.

It looks like we are finaly hitting the FINAL stage of the firmware

Tests so far

D2C - Woking most of the time sometimes but takes alot longer for the disc to start spinning but after 50 ejects has a 75% success rate

D2C2 - Ocasionally get eject issue but have found trying different media helps but are still using DVD-R 4X. after 50 ejects works 90%

So seems like im getting better results on the D2C2 as they are both soldered exactly the same and using idog's extra ground wire on both

So maybe some tweaking still needed but much happier than before

@ brisk1234
Which .dat file did you use the one in the .rar or the one posted up afterwards?

[theforce81]

Well, it works well enough this time. Though when I quit a game and go back to wii menu and want to restart the game it sometimes takes 30secs before it starts lol. But it is BETA and it works when one waits long enough, but I hope these problems are solved in the next release/releases. For now I gave this one to a friend, but for customers one wouldn't be a good sales person to give it to them like this lol, but again, it is beta.

[crackandhack]

I think that the first .DAT of BETA3 pack is OK with d2c2 but not with d2c... but the last .DAT is ok with d2c... and not with d2c2...

It is awfull...

We need final version now... not betas... betas.. betas... betas are for testers, and if you only have 10 testers... found more, but is incredible that this TEAM only publicated betas...

answer???

Ok i tested the beta3  on a pal LEH1844*****.

I used the alterned points  for G,H and I.

It takes a long time that the drive starts to spin .
But it works ....!!!

Didn't used extra ground points on clock wire.

Strange thing was that all games started  except mario kart and boomblox ??
It reads the disk but keeps on spinning and won't start
Mario galaxy starts normal no problem .

But after i updated the firmware online from the wii
Disk was read ok . and it asked for a firmware update to play mariokart.
I updated it and then it works ...Also the other games are working now that didn't worked before the update .

So if someone has problems with games do a firmware update !!
It won't ask for it like normal when you insert a game ??

Sometimes the drive  won't start after inserting disk .
Then push eject and insert the disk again and it works normal..??

For a beta3  its working ok .....
 
Keep up the good work   

Bye

I know this is commonly known but it also can make a major difference to use thicker wires for power and ground. With my converted d2pros it reulted in a dead drive using standard wires. Anyway looks good so far team infectus..

[dennis]

Thanks for news
When will the beta3 be ported to Infectus 2 / D2C2

With regards
Dennis

[doppertje]

just tested the beta 3.

Drive is starting after about 10 sec. when insert a disk it take up to 45 sec to spin.

it's not 100% okay but we are getting there

hope a more stable version to arrive soon so i can stop using those red chip's

keep up the great work

Here the next steps

1- Tomorrow refine the firmware and release FINAL VERSION for A3P125 and A3P250
2- Beginning next week release of INFECTUS version
3- During next 10 days release the DMS support

For who claim "this team release betas betas" need to remember that OTHER TEAMS simple didn't update old stocks, so all need to thanx us about the works that we are doing...
was more simple to develope a new argon board with oscillator and fix all the problems week before... but we decided to support our seller chaing in the best way

TBH, I was scepticle at first, but I have good faith now. ONE Q!! Is DMS really expected in 10 days? Pls be honest as I have some chips here and promised some friends to finish it before I go on holiday, so if you are not sure, pls tell and I will get some other chips for them so that I can make my promise come true!

Thanks for your honesty and gl on the programming!

BTW:
We have been a good sport to you Italians in football too :PP so pls be a good sport and answer to us truthfully rofl!! Sry, I couldn't resist, but we did our duty and you should do yours hehe.

Uhm ok, but refining also means solving the 'delay' issue ? I mean the fact that after inserting a disc it can take some time before it starts to spin. A few seconds is no problem, but more than 10 seconds is annoying. And sometimes is does. Several people have this experience.

And what about DVD update feature (like D2Pro v2) ? Did everybody forget this ?
Do we still have to use the flatcable and what can we tell our customers about updating ?

And idog, what are your experiences with BETA3 ? I have no EJECT issues, but I do have the problem that after inserting a disc it can take quite a long time before it starts spinning. Sometimes it starts immediately, something it lasts 10 or 20 seconds and then the blue LED is flashing randomly/irregular.

Why is it every time I try to erase/flash the SPI, the programmer crashes out?  I have to say, it would be extremely handy if someone could re-write all this stuff in proper english, because the broken english used in all the tutorials and instruction guides is very hard to understand.  I know the team working on this is Italian and all, but there's got to be some way to make the instructions a lot more consise and easy to follow for us english speakers out here!
