To quote OscarHS from the link above: Dear Customers,
BACK AGAIN ON THE SCENE... here the D2E firmware for ARGON SPI, VERSION JAP / US / PAL! Pls. take care on the diagram, there are some little changes... all is inside the RAR file...
Download: Argon 2.2 D2E Firmware
The firmware was tested here on D2C2 and D2E only and works great... but inside there is the support of D2C and DMS consoles... is apreciated a feedback on these two too...
We didn't lose too much time to test old consoles, the priority is to give something real full working for D2E and D2C2! After we get positive feedbacks from users here we will compile the version for A3P125.
Sorry for delay but we are FULL working on ARGON2 that soon will be here... this new modchip will introduce new features that no competitors has.. like 9 months ago ARGON SPI did with 13 wires...

The folks at Wasabi have confirmed that their method already works on the newly released "D2E" drives found in the latest Nintendo Wii consoles.
After dumping the firmware, they found the D2E firmware was created on 12th February 2008 while the Diagrams for Wasabi were released on 19th February - Wii and GC backups are also confirmed to be running.
To quote: Did you hear about the new D2E drive? We've only got a couple of reports of those drives seen in the wild so you don't need to worry about them yet, but they have been spotted at different places. They are the successors of D2C2 drives and the the curious may be wondering if this new drive is a reaction to Wasabi's 9-wire patching method.
There's one way to know for sure, that is dumping the firmware and look at the build date to see if it was created before or after Wasabi diagrams (below).
So D2E firmware was created on the 12th of February 2008. Wasabi diagrams were release... More »

WIIKEY didn't works on D2C console simply because a software update cannot... More »

Infectus has announced the release of Wiiktus Firmware v1.2 BETA for their Argon/Infectus mod-chip line.
Download: Wiiktus Firmware v1.2 BETA
The Argon with Wiiktus Firmware has been tested and confirmed working perfectly on D2C Wii USA and JAP versions.

Dark_AleX has examined PSP firmware v3.80 changes, and here are the results:
They now know that with Pandora, we can always access the flash, so they've focused on locking down the PSAR and changing the format of the files/flash. Just more tactics to slow down decryption, but it won't work.
They have only changed the keys of the tables of filenames. The prx's keys are the same than in 3.7X.
However, there is a little surprise in a form of new compression algorithm called KL4E, this time sysmem and loadcore are also compressed. Plus... again new nids.
So it would seem as if the newly-released PSP firmware v3.80 has already been dumped and decrypted. Only time will tell is Alex will release an update to M33 CFW or make users wait longer.
3.80 module list and decryption info below:
Only a example, the offsets for show another version in 3.71 are:
- 0x12B38
- 0x12B3C
In 3.7... More »
