Hardware Wiinja isn't working on "V2"

[RefiX]

On wiinja's forum, some people can't get their modchip working,
They've got this chip on their dvd drive :


so :

GC2-DMS

Thanks for the info, anymore information on this?
I couldn't see any English posts on the wiinja forum were people had discussed this.

Does anyone know what batch of consoles has those chips? Newer? Older? European?

 

[Hellfenix]

Any more info? is it possible to check that without opening your Wii?

mine says gc2 d1 whats does that mean, will it work?

DAMN ... do i have to cancel my order?
I wonder if cyclowiz can handle it ... beeing updateable ...
Just bought 3 Wii-games and 2 of them were crap, so i want to test some with modchip if they are worth buying (or only worth playing). Wii-games are that expansive, i nearly think i have the right to play "more" for my money

is it really proven ??? only one person reported that problem ... and if you look at the picture above, only 3 wires are soldered ... isn't it why it doesn't work ??

Yes I'm with you on this one, wii games have this irritating tendency to expand themselves everywhere ! man ! it's disgusting !

I was going to buy a wii tomorrow ..but now I'm afraid of getting a "bad" version.

The thing with the Cyclowiz...what good is it being upgradable if the Wii rejects it in the first place?

ya ..you'r right there is at least one wire missing in that picture ...I just hope thats the cause

I was going to buy a wii tomorrow ..but now I'm afraid of getting a "bad" version.

there are 5 wires to solder

Clock, input, output like the picture on my first post
The two others are for power supply and on wii PCB there are many differents points where you can find them

for example :

Buy it, check it return/keep it. Chances of having the proper chip (counting on the fact that this is a real problem, not a one guy thing) is currently the best I guess (if this is a "new version" problem now is the highest chance of getting one from an old batch).

Still, closest points are those that the Wiinja team and cycloteam use.

Hi

latest (confirmed by a lot if sites/forums) information:

Wiinja is NOT working with "WII Version 2" which got a new Chip inside. You have to open your Wii to check which chip you got, can (at the moment) not be identified by the serial.

Cyclowiz will probably (better: surely) have the same problem, even if this is not confirmed, since both Chips use same method and share the main code.

The fact that a lot of sites are stating it doesn't mean it's true. If there are more then one user report then I'll become a believer

I hope this isnt true. Maybe he didnt install it properly or something. I need to find me a tri-wing screwdriver so i can get my wii open and check.

for example :

The wires on this pic are all wrong. 1 and 8 arn't going to the correct points and the cluster of 3 points arn't even the correct ones.

This picture come from wiinews.com , i didn't verify it so it could be wrong.
It was an "exemple"
