Wasabi is the name of a new chip for D2C... featuring
5 wires to be soldered on easy solder pads !

D2Ckey works by patching the requests that the DVD MCU
issues to the DVD DSP in hardware. This is something
that was done before by Team Origa on GC (project GCC)
but it was never released because it was too hard to
install and less flexible in comparison to BIOS-chips
/ drive-chips. The whole address bus, data bus and
control signals must be hooked, so that means lots of
wires.

Other drive-chips on Wii / GC (the easy-to-install
kind) work by patching those requests in software.
That leads to easier installation diagrams, and much
more flexibility, most of those chips are upgradable
for example.

The problem is that to create an easy-to-install chip,
one must be able to patch the DVD firmware. And to
know how, you must be able to read the firmware ROM.
If you can't read this ROM, the only choice is
desiging a 31-wire mod. Or to try harder.

We did ! We belive we've been the first team with
access to the firmware, and now we're clearly the
first team with a working prototype of an
easy-to-install chip for D2C !

More details, including ETA, will be announced next
week. In the meantime, instead of providing the usual
picture of a prototype board with lots of wires, we
provide a couple of interesting bits of disassembly
that only true drive hackers could appreciate... If
any other team claim they have access to the firmware,
we say : show the code !
