New D2C Chipset Unmodable w/ Pic

[WiiModWiis]

The way this thread is heading it's getting confusing....

So here's what I think is going on:

Old drive spindle + D2C chipset with lettering = moddable

Old drive spindle + D2C chipset without lettering = sometimes moddable

New drive spindle + D2C chipset with lettering = sometimes moddable

New drive spindle + D2C chipset without lettering = not moddable


Is this correct??

Thats exaclty what im wondering because my wifes uncle just bought his wii yesterday and im opening it up tomorrow to find out which chip i need for it and i dont want to buy a d2pro or w/e if its not gonna work in this thing. I wanna be sure before i spend the money on a chip whether its right or not.

I remembered that I read that the D2CKey/D2Pro team manage to dump the new firmware of the D2C chips, and have made a work around for it already.

So I guess a firmware update is coming.

Looks like you might be on to something. I just had a look through photos of my wii - board and spindle top are the 'old' style.

My wii is PAL D2C-D1A, it has the second row of text on GC2-D2C, took a wasabi fine, and is fairly new (purchased, on backorder March 08).

Pics here, if you're interested:

@wiimodwiis i believe that the 2line D2c chip is always moddable

@tripleJ85

it's only wii's from the past month that are being questioned, ones from march and april are moddable.

Just did a D2Pro with Wiiclip on a console bought 4/20/08. Serial # LU 5641XXXX. Had numbers under the D2C letters. Worked fine first time. Seems like the 564 series serial numbers are good.

ive got a LU9000 any one got any idea if its moddable or not cause i dont wanna open it as yet
cause i sent my wii in for repair and i got it replaced with a new one

I dunno why people are worrying, it's apparent it's been cracked already (from D2Pro team, Infectus announced firmware but have yet to release more details)

Ozmod said he's recieving D2C2 (new name for these unmodifiable drives) compliant D2Pro's soon so be patient.

Infectus announced there will be no need for an Argon revision and new firmware should be out the end of next week.

Just wait a few weeks, what's the rush?

they change your serial number when they do a repair, but if your DVD drive was fine then it should be the same as the original
