The D2Ckey website has been updated with the following...

We received the first drive with the new d2c chip on yesterday and we can confirm that is indeed different. We have dumped the firmware and are just starting to analyze it. It seems that nr reader mode has been disabled in this firmware (see nice screenshot of firmware disassembly).

The D2Ckey Team have confirmed exclusively to WiiNewz that they have been successful in cracking in the new D2C chip. Expect a new 9+wire mod solution soon.

yes, awesome news! good job!

Why does Nintendo even try? They should know by now that no matter what they do, hackers will get around it.

Grinning from ear to ear

I knew they would be the first to crack it... This will help them prove themselves as leaders, rather than followers

Very happy man I am right now!

Hey D2CKey/Pro guys, if you need beta testers, I am well equipped... Bring it on! NTSC Wii with 1 unmoddable board to spare!

No 15 wire solution as well?

[Ruddicz]

of course not. who wants to use the same chip that worked on PREVIOUS D2C units?

The industry is pushing for low-wire count chips, everyone wants to use the bare minimum. I am sure that if a 9 wire solution can be made so can a 15, 19 & 31 wire. I wonder if we will see an update for D2CKeys to change them over to a 9 wire. I doubt it. no onboard osc.

and as I predicted long before they were adapted, the Jtag devices again will be useless - or suffer from a very slow update period, in comparison to the D2Pro2 or Argon 2 chip.

Nintendo tries because of people called investors. If the investors know they are investing into a system that has no security left to build on capitalism via sales (or no sales) of games, they have no reason to invest and will invest into a company like Sony who do not have a problem with their PS3. If Nintendo shows they are trying to thwart piracy at the IC level effectivly, making current chips non-functional but with no added cost to the development process, investors are impressed and throw them more money to help out...

This goes for any business.

I knew this race could only be won by the developers of the first D2C chip. Cloners will remain just that.

too bad that as soon as the update is released some other people will steal the code and incorperate it in their own chips. infectus *cough* *cough*

I still only think d2pro went the whole 9 wire route is only because of the wasabi.

They themselves said the higher wire count solution was better, they knew of the 9 wire exploit, but chose for a more stable chip.

It's a good opportunity to release the first D2CKey update correcting the Audio-fix issue too!

Whats the NR READER MODE ?
