Hacking D2E with D2Sun. Also cut pins.

[the_skdster]

Hi. Thanks to all for the help so far.

I now have the five D2Sun 1.3A chips, and one of my friends has cut pins, where would I cut the clip? And what then?


Also, another friend just bought a Wii with the D2E chipset. He is thinking of returning it since we do not know if the 1.3A with Wii-Clip is just a drop in solution as it is to the other drives.
Would I have to solder any extra wires to the drive since it is a D2E? Or is it the same as the other boards?

Sorry about all the questions, I just don't want to break something. lol

Much appreciate your help so far!

Got one of my friends to boot backups with this chip so far. Was supposed to be D2C drive, but only works with the D2C2 jumper setting... huh.

You should went with the D2Sun 3.0 , it works on D2E system ..

^ so does the 1.3A

this is the best budget solution at the moment, solderless on all chipsets for 30 bucks

So I'm taking that would mean I have nothing to worry about, no matter what drive any of my other friends have?
That would be GREAT!

I think that this goes in Wii hardware, devices and utilities

Anyways, I saw on the D2Sun website that you have to do something with the back of the PCB on the drive. The D2Sun v3.0 just needs to be upgraded to avoid the mess.
