Just wanna let everyone know that i ran into a new D2C drive today. It looks totally different from d2c or d2c-2 drive. It still say d2c and some digits on the chip, but resistors and some ic are lay out different. The good new is D2prov2 works.


Sorry for the bad english.

First take a look at the Via's around point F. Point F is in the exact same spot however when i first seen the via's had moved around i was a bit worried so i double checked with my multimeter to make sure it would work.



Not much has changed on the bottom. Its looks so similar that no-one should have any issues. You can see in this picture that my solder for point F on the top flowed right Thur to the other side of the Via. (Nice!)



Also this is the first time i have seen a shielded data cable running between the DVD drive and mother board. Maybe Nintendo was worried our mod-chips might pick up interference and wanted to make sure they would get cleaner signals to hack.



D2Pro v2 worked perfect!

Thats funny ... I ran into the same one last night as well.

I looked at the layout and noticed a bunch of things different so I took a few pictures to post in case it wouldn't work with the D2Pro9. Installed a D2Pro9 and surprised to see it worked fine.

Probably Nintendo using another contract manufacturer to cut down costs on the pcb's.
