Wow I've just received the free kit 10 minutes ago.
Modchip successfully programmed (out of the console) with 6 wires firmware 3.05 on Windows XP (just plug&play no external driver needed)
This evening I'll install the chip in a d2c2 and soon I'll report.
Tomorrow I'll test the other drives too.
See you later.

cool, seems everything going well like what it should be

Today I recieved my d2sun/nero test kit. Offcourse I couldn't wait and started to play with it right away.

The Nero Programmer
Nice design, looks like an usb stick.
There is no need for an extra usb cable like needed for d2prog and injectus.

Because this programmer is in a shelf there are no issue's touching this device by hand like could be with d2prog/injectus. Small downside is that it is a bit hard to open the FPC lock on it.

Plugged it in my external usb hub, connected to my xp sp3 system and gets recognized as an usb device right away.

Downloaded the firmware "D2SUN-v3.05 - A3P125 ( 6 wires ALL-in-1 )".
Nice to see some kind of wingui in this all-in-one programming package.
For example, d2pro updater still needs to run in a command shell.

Flashing the firmware to the chip without any problems.
Took 2 minutes to flash the FPGA and an other minute to flash the SPI.
(d2sun was not in the wii during update)

Not bad, but could be a bit more faster.
I think d2prog is a little bit faster, but injectus on argon takes way much longer..

overall: truly plug-and-play, no extra drivers needed. does what is needs to do.
Would be a 'nice to have' feature if the programmer could read and display current firmware version on the connected chip.

The D2Sun V3
Already had a bunch if these before, but not with the 3.05 firmware
After flashing clip't on a D2E (pal) and tested it with SSB on a DL+ verbatim (pal).

Did a few runs of; start and play the game, stop it, eject it, reloaded and play again.

I've been playing for small hour on it and experienced no issues at all.
Have the feeling it is a bit faster reading the disc then former firmware.

Will test on the other drives later and update this post with the results:

Tested D2B, D2C, D2C-2 and D2E on a pal system with DVD- and DL+ (smg,kart,ssb). All works perfect!

Already liked this chip and I'm going to stay with it!

Yes very cool, until now everything is going right.

Region: PAL
Model: D2C2
Test Duration: 1 hour
Install Method: wiiclip
Originals:
- Wii Sport(OK)
- Mario Kart (OK)
- Wii Fit (OK)
Backups:
- Zelda TP on Verbatim DVD+R (OK)
- Top Spin 3 on Verbatim DVD-R (OK)
- SSBB on Verbatim DVD+R DL with layer break (OK)
- SSBB on Maxell DVD+R DL with layer break (OK)
- Family Trainer on Verbatim DVD+RW (OK)

No drive issues found.
Really impressed by media compatibility, this chip reads almost everything (only not tested DVD-RW and DVD-R DL).

Note about wiiclip:
Just my first time and I spent a few minutes to put it correctly on the chip but finally it worked great.
Pay attention to push it on the chip so that the black base touches uniformly the drive board.

Now I'm going to program it back to 7 wires firmware and I'll report results on related thread.
Then I'll intall it with 6 and 7 wires.

hehe, can't wait to see other wii working result

So I have a D2Sun 3.0 with WiiClip v12, which is a 7 wire firmware on it. If I get the programmer can I just update to the 6 wire and not do anything in the wiiclip side? I have a d2c ntsc usa console.

Yeah that's all you have to do. Really easy.
Anyway imho there's no need for you to do it if your 7 wire fw is working already.

D2sun chip and kit works great on all my console:dms,d2a,d2b,d2c,d2c2,d2e..ntsc..it works quickly and does the job..update is quick and clean..6 wire firmware works great onall my consoles..the usb is recongnized quickly without problems on my windows vista utlimate..

Agreed. Was just asking as a knowledge question. Thanks for the confirmation.
