pretty interesting read...wasabi team saw it coming!!
Before anyone goes and starts sucking Wasabi's dick, remember that this is one of the many mod chip makers who til this day, have not released a firmware update for any of THEIR chips (TTBOMK) that deals with the protection in NSMB. Good thing people PAID for a product with such wonderful support. I think after the SMG stuff, mod chip makers coasted for a while and saw USB loaders taking off and pretty much gave up. Can't blame 'em, who wants to buy a modchip when a Wii can be fully software hacked and made to play games from a USB drive?
I'm not just giving Wasabi shit, out of all the Wii mod chips floating around out there, which ones were quick with a firmware update for NSMB? I think 1 was but I forget their name?!
You're Wrong, actually they did release 2 different updates (from 1.0 to 1.2 or 1.3 and then to 1.4) for their first modchip and one for the lastest (the one without soldering things).
Anyway, these updates just add the "update blocker" fonctionnality and improve the modchip codes - for the Wasabi DX it add support to use it like a Wasabi Zero.
Also, i've contacted the wasabi support team by email about the new copy protection include in NSMB Wii. Please take a look :

Hello guys,
I'm an old customer of the first Wasabi Modchip (the one, with some LED/3v3/GND issue on some drive - not mine hopefully) and I would like to know if you're planning an update for our/your modchip about the new copy protection introduce in "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" ?
Some of your competitor has already announce it (DriveKey team) and as one of the greatest modchip team I expect you to do the same.
Anyway thanks for your future answer and great work
Kind Regards,
