i downloaded totalio.sys

Holy crap. This solved my problem. I had the exact same problem as yourself Frankdux. Had the same AVR device not responding error. Wired correctly and GiveIO installed. Built the program 3 times - no difference. Tried different computer - no go. Wired directly to USB - nope.

Thank you Frankdux for finding totalio.sys. Now I don't need to use my Wii wired to the computer running ModCheap. Now need to see whether to use Chiip or OpenWii firmware.

thought i'd restore this thread with a new release from the chiip site:

QUOTE said:
First of all: This is a yet another test version, the last stable version stays Beta 5. I hope this will be the last version before the 1.0.0 release, but I really need some feedback on how it works, so please test it and fill out the survey on the 0.9.0 release that I will publish soon. What I'm most interested in knowing is if the Wii region patching works on NTSC USA and NTSC Japan consoles, because I modified the usual Wii region free patching a bit and I wonder if it will work on USA and Japan Wii too.

Changes to beta 7:

  * Wii and Gamecube region free. While region free should work fine for all Gamecube backups, it only works on some Wii backups. This is a problem all current Wii modchips have, which is why you'll always read of "partial region free". There's a great page in the gbatemp Wiki that lists which games work and which won't:
   http://wiki.gbatemp.net/index.php/Wii_Regi...patibility_List

  * Changed the version numbering. This might be a bit confusing, but I hope that the 1.0.0 release will be available within 2-3 days, which should stop the confusion

  * Gamecube originals should work again

  * Changed the login process a little. You should now be able to reduce the speed of Wii originals too, by using the "Start game then return to Wii menu" trick:
   If you insert a disc it will run at maximum speed, but if you start the game and return to the Wii menu the disc should slow down

  * Included Linux and Wiip-AT90S2313 versions. The Wiip version is completely untested, and just included if someone wants to give it a try. The Linux version requires ppdev and a DVDTool-compatible cable. There will be a Windows compatible version as well soon.

  * Maybe something else that I've forgotten

You will have to flash the right version for your region (NTSC Japan / NTSC USA / PAL), otherwise nothing will work. Maybe I will switch to using a setup disc too sometime, but for now I think most people will prefer this solution.

seems like he's still working on chiip, which is a great thing in of itself. I just threw this on my chiip and it works like a charm. no more open wii for a while....

anyone else care to give this a go?

All is still good, I have rebuilt my programer onelast time.. it looks nice..





The far end of the cable connected to a custome cable I made, db9 to db25.

not the best solder job i've done, but good for someone who has been sick for a week with no voice, and drugged on NyQuil. lol

The black wire.? no i got it from an ASUS motherboard i had used, it was the old com port. I have one that is LPT aswell but i wanted to convert to DB9, so this was the first step., next i will elimitate the custome cable and go db9 all the way. but i am keeping it a sperate cable from the programer so its more portable and compact.

the diagram is as if the chip is in a socket.. eg. with the top of it facing you (eg. the top being the part with the atmel logo)

the notch should really be enough to go off.. there is only 1 notch on it, on 1 side..its really not confusing at all.
