INFECTUS / ARGON 9 WIRES FIRMWARE... coming soon


We are happy to announce that in development is a new cool firmware for ARGON/INFECTUS, a more superior firmware than the current "9 wires wasabi" competitor. See the unbelivable functions that will be supported::

INFECTUS2:
1- Supports all chipset versions: DMS, D2A, D2B and D2C (including D1A)
2- ONLY 9+1(clock) WIRES on D2C
3- ONLY 5+1(clock) WIRES on DMS, D2A, D2B
4- On-board flash (512KB) (wasabi only 128KB)
5- DVD "SOFT" UPDATE + JTAG "COMPLETE" UPDATE

ARGON:
1- Supports all chipset versions: DMS, D2A, D2B and D2C (including D1A)
2- ONLY 9+1(clock) WIRES on D2C
3- ONLY 5+1(clock) WIRES on DMS, D2A, D2B
4- On-board flash (256KB) (wasabi only 128KB)*
5- DVD "SOFT" UPDATE + JTAG "COMPLETE" UPDATE**
* Old users can install the flash on ARGON without any problems, new ARGON in arrival in the week of the 24th of March and in the future we will have the SPI FLASH on board. Cost of the SPI flash is arround 0.5 USD...
** dvd update will be developed for argon AFTER infectus2...

THE "BULLSHIT" DVD UPDATE FEATURE WILL BE SUPPORTED WITH INFECTUS2, AND IN SECOND TIME ON ARGON. We remember that ONLY modchips like ARGON / INFECTUS2 / D2PRO can release BIG LOGICAL UPDATES on firmwares, wasabi cannot change the ACTEL FPGA code, and this is a BIG LIMIT for future applications. Only to demostrate that we have the know how to do the same like wasabi, we will release this feature that for us is unusefull...

REMEMBER!
DVD UPDATE = OLD AND LIMITED UPDATE SYSTEM (LIKE OLD WIIKEY) - Limited data update.
JTAG UPDATE = NEW ERA OF MODCHIPS UPDATE SYSTEM (D2PRO / INFECTUS / ARGON) - Full logical data update

Last thing, we remember that in development are other firmwares (like PS3 firmware) for INFECTUS and ARGON, wasabi can work only on WII... JTAG modchips can work on many differents consoles... just a .DAT file is necessary to use ARGON in a PS3 in a near future...
The clever "SELLERS", keep stock only of cool and strategic HARDWARE.

FAQ

1- When new 9 wires firmware will be available?
We think to finish the firmware within 15 days, before we will release some BETA to mass testing...

2- Current argon works with 9 wires firmware?
ARGON have a space on PCB near connector to install a SPI FLASH, new stocks in production ready for week of 24th came with SPI FLASH on board... the old argon can be update if necessary with a SPI flash, just solder it on PCB of argon... cost is very few like 0.5 USD... we will provide this kind of flash for selling to our users if they want... flash have easy pins to solde, about 1 min of works

3- INFECTUS2 hardware is the same like WASABI?
Well is much better, instead a flash of 128Kb it have 512kb with switches and all.. so don't worry INFECTUS2 is 10 times powerfull than WASABI hardware.

4- DVD UPDATE FEATURE IS AVAILABLE ON INFECTUS2 and ARGON?
The "old" dvd update feature is supported in the new firmware... we will use this way to "soft" update of the modchip, but if is necessary to do a BIG change in the architecture of modchip to support new games and WII updates we can release new .DAT files and with JTAG you are full covered again all possible problems.
WASABI can only do a "soft" "partial" data update, ARGON and INFECTUS2 will have "soft" and "partial" data update and JTAG update... at same price!!!

5- Why ARGON and INFECTUS2 have 1 clock wire more than WASABI?
Simple, wasabi have an oscillator on board that miss in our project.. we need to keep the clock from the board of WII...

endlich mal gute news

gibts da evtl schon diagramme die man sich angucken kann?

[Chipwelt]

noch nicht, aber in Kürze

Schau einfach ab und an hier vorbei

Danke ich nehme mal an das die diagramme sich mit dem wasabi decken werden. Die Pins sind ja immer so ziemlich gleich bei den Modchips... Siehe PS2

Die haben doch gerade erst ihre Wasabis bekommen, die müssen also noch tüfteln xD!

[Berny_AB]

das Wasabi projekt wurde nur vom Infectus bzw. Argon Projekt abgekupfert

Die Argon sowie Infectus Chips haben schon alle die Vorbereitung für einen SPI Baustein der auf den neuen Argon's drauf sein wird - also könnte man den auch selbst nachrüsten

[Arakon]

Infectus sagte sogar, das sie die chips zum nachrüsten selbst anbieten werden.

Ich finde das auch genial kann ich in meiner alten Konsole auch nen Argon einbauen.

Hoffe nur das die mal das Flachbandkabel kürzen

Der Wii ist ja keine 3 Meter Lang

[moonie2001]

Sag mal wie lang ist denn das Flachbandkabel???? Ist das wirklich so lang?

[N-Gage]

3 Meter ist übertrieben habs aber noch nicht nachgemessen

Aber es ist fast mehr Arbeit das Kabel Sauber zu verlegen als den Chip einzulöten.
