You can get ahold of this release at Wiinewz .
 Next up is a new D2C modchip, dubbed D2Pro (NOT to be confused with D2CPro, D2Ckey clone). Not much is known about this chip at this time, other than it boasts a 15 wire install. Wiinewz has managed to snag a picture of this chip. When more information surfaces I'll be sure to post it up.
just click the picture for a bigger image. Thanks to Wiinewz for the picture.
Coming from another site, Modcontrol , There seems to be new chips surfacing on LEH-161 Wiis. These chips (GC2-D1A and GC2-D1) are allegedly compatable with the Argon chip and some compatability with the D2Ckey. I'll have more on this when I can.
OpenWii v 2.3 has been released. However, there seems to be some problems with this release so expect another update. Here's a clip from the readme:
| OpenWii 2.3 for Atmega8 (Chiip)
New features:
– SMG fix (original is working too)
– Automatic drive type detection (DMS/D2A/D2B)
– Bootloader bugfix (ALL previous OpenWii versions are jumping to a wrong address)
– LED blink codes (L = long blink, S = short blink)
Power Up: L S
Drive Patched: L S S (e.g. each disc change)
Set Region: L S S S (using setup disc)
Set Speed: L S S S S (using setup disc)

Have fun!
