D2C - Beta3

Drive is dead

I had the same problem when using a similar ground point. You'd better use the one near the 3V. I know, you would expect better results with your GND point, but it doesn't.

Did you already try the installation like quantronics ?  I am not able to do some tests myself right now, but tonight I will.

But with the FW before...1.0 ? Its working perfect...only some eject issues sometimes

Uhmmm, weird. I think that all the modifications they have made for the D2C2 concerning the BOOT-, EJECT- and other issues, has a negative influence on D2C.
Too bad...

I've edited the post before...3.1 is working. i'll try some games now.

No, I'vnt tried quantronics installation...



What is this ? After pressing ok the programmer feezes and advises me 2 minutes later again to press ok.

I don't know. But does the programmer work now ? Or does this message come back all the time ?

After restarting the wii, the programmer tool and reconnecting the programmer it disappears.

EDIT: Beta 3.1 works great on D2C

[crackandhack]

In D2C D1A the BETA3.1 not work, the reader sometimes death... the best for now in D2C-D1A is WASABUS 1.1.

Uhmm, as far as I knows is D2C the same as D2C-D1A.
So last posts/experiences are quite opposite.
Question now is; is this caused by the way of installation or just in different behaviour of the Wii's ?

I think most important is that it should work 100% on D2C2.
After that Team Infectus can concentrate on 'older' D2C and D2B, DMS etc.etc.

I Tried Beta 3.1 on a D2C2 and it definatley makes the drive spin up quicker but then the game stops spinning and doesn't load a game at all

After more testing it still boots up games alot quicker but only runs a game if i turn the console off and on again with the disc in the drive

i also tested the new Beta 3.1 but nothing changed. i have the same problem with the clk wire.

Now i got D2Pro V2 for D2C2 and i soldered the chip to the same wires that i used for the argon and there was no problem. Updating was Ok and every game is booting.

D2Pro doesn't suffer as much from CLK issues as it has an onboard clock.  So your clock wire may still be an issue.  Argon suffers very much from timing

[m0th3y3d]

i too am considering a d2pro v2 as i purchased an argon ready to mod a friends wii, but its a 125 model which means i'll probably be waiting an age before even a beta is available.

I had posted this earlier in the thread as edits to my own post in an effort to avoid cluttering the thread, but it may have been overlooked, and I am desperate to make this work after nearly two weeks of nothing:

In the word document included with the programmer, there is a picture with an ID number or something circled...mine is all zeros.  The one in the circle is "PMC Pm25LV020."  Again, mine is just a string of zeros. (After a tip in another thread, I removed the "R" point from ground, and this changed it from zeros to the same thing in the picture in the word file)

Also, if I do not connect the programmer to the argon chip, the drive is dead, nothing works.  With the programmer connected, my blue LED on the argon doesn't do anything when a game is inserted, but it will play originals, no backups.  Any further tips or ideas?

Also, as others are posting, I am having the exact same write issues when trying to flash spi.  All I get are random write errors on any bank I try, and I don't believe it is really erasing when I try, as the instant I hit ok to erase, it says it finished!  What bank should we be flashing?  Is there maybe a clearer list of steps to do this?  Thanks again for everyone's help.

The same here, Without connecting Injectus + USB, the drive is dead and the chip led light constant

ARGON SPi + Wasabus BETA3.1

Wraped clock wire ( 5/6cm aprox )


I'm really disapointed how long it is for infectus team to make a stable firmware where D2PRO team managed it in a couple of... DAYS !!

Please hurry up infectus team, we all know how good coders you have, but D2C2 is all over the world and only D2PRO works with !         

My customers want a chip for their Wii, they don't bother about details, and I did the mistake to stock only Argon, so if there is no strong firmware that works ok with all system without bothering about magical wire routing in a few day, I risk to stock only D2PRO and banish infectus product... and I would hate to do that !

It could be worse you could have had a bunch of first revison D2pro's and had no other option but to buy the new ones at least infectus are not making us all buy new chips

[bunghoolio]

Greetz to all! Can anyone tell me for sure if Beta3.1 is better than Beta3.0 for D2C2?
I don't care about D2C, I use different product for that Wii. All I care about is D2C2 right now. I have Beta3.0 working fine in a D2C2 Wii at the moment. (Only very small delay with disc load as reported by other users. No eject issues apparent. Happy)

Should I bother reprogramming my small batch of Argons with Beta3.1? or keep waiting, or roll with Beta3.0? I understand it is all beta, but I can't hold these Argons forever. (D2Pro's not comming to me for 7 days) D2C2 Wii client cue gets longer and more impatient than the ppl on this forum. (Me included)

not true ! do you think people with A3P125 without Spi are able to mod a D2C2 ? SPi is needed and only last argon chip batch have it !!! so the correct answer could have been :

"It could be worse you could have had a bunch of first revison D2pro's / Argon's and had no other option but to buy the new ones "

Close but you still can get the spi addon seperate instead of buying a new chip with the Argon
