Hacking Wheres Chiip?

[nathan026]

Hey, anyone know whats happening with Chiip and it's Firmware?
there hasn't been any news for a week now, i was just wondering if anyone has heard anything.

No news.

OpenWii is a pretty good firmware to flash to the Chiip right now. It has most of the features of the Chiip firmware, plus the 6x read speed. IT is also being updated on a very regular basis.

Do you flash the Atmega chip with the OpenWii firmware in exactly the same way as you do with the chiip firmware? I.e., using AVRdude and the same command line options?

yep

Yup, the only think that needs to be changed is the name of the hex file.

I'm wondering if once the source for the openwii 1.3 is released if chiip will update with 6x drive speed since the code is out there. Until then, I'm switching to openwii.

sounds good, but i'm waiting for DVD firmware update support... that and a Triwing screwdriver...... i know i should order one, i've already flashed my chiip and it's just sitting next to my wii.... hmmm maybe i'll put openwii on it and stick it in this weekend.
