Because I'm tired of everyone saying the update isn't possible and that it isn't coming out I was given the go ahead and show you the update process. The quality isn't the greatest but it gets the point across, Enjoy

Youtube finally processed my upload from a few hours ago. You can read the onscreen instrutions more clearly then on google video

good to hear it's really coming, but why they didn't release it yet?

for me it's not a problem at all if they don't release anything, because I already got some PIC and a programmer, gonna go with the Wiifree solution, but there's a lot of people out there waiting for this update.

Since the upgrade appears to use the reset switch.. does the reset wire have to be hooked up to do the upgrade?

so why isnt out? If its possible (might i say, exactly as garyopa stated, you would had to press power on and off to enable and disable the 12.5v) why isnt out?

If its possible but still dangerous to brick the sx28, i dont see this getting released anyway...

Interesting. I must admit I WOULD like to hear why it hasn't been released yet though (as others have stated over and over again). Silence makes me wonder if they're having problems with some of the promised features or maybe there are chip-bricking concerns (I NEVER had a smooth DVD flash with my PS2 chip, so I started always flashing from the HDD instead). It would be nice to see an upgrade boot disk that read the actual upgrade from an SD card instead- seems like that may be more of a sure thing.

Another tiny complaint- I really don't care how long it takes TeamCyclops to come out with an update. What I do mind is when they release a news post saying it's coming by the end of the week and almost 2 weeks later we still don't have it. Setting a deadline and then not meeting it is much much worse than not setting a deadline at all. The same thing happened before- they said "we'll have some news about it later today or tomorrow" and didn't post another news article until ~4 days later. Not a big deal, but every customer hates missed expectations.

For the record I'm only getting DRE's with Warioware and Red Steel. Everything else functions perfectly although I have noticed slightly longer load times vs. their original counterparts. Hopefully the update will iron out these problems without creating any more >). <---- [what I'm worried about most!]

they are fixing some code and adding a verify routine that will enable a 100% flash. It is coming out soon its just taking a bit. My chip was the first generation with no d2b support and I don't have the off cable connected to reset.

Everyone PLEASE use your judgement with this video. Until this can be verified by an independent third party that has no financial gain/loss related to the sale of Cyclowiz chips I don't consider the situation changed at all.

The only positive I see in a moderator posting this is that someone at some level of authority realizes that there are a lot of unhappy customers out there. Please develop a contingency plan for your customers and realize that there will be 2nd / 3rd gen Wii mod chips plus other products that your customers will want down the road so treat them right in the short-term and you will keep them for the long-term.

So do we need to connect the off cable to the reset switch to be able to update the chip. The reason why i'm asking is because in the video at one point of the installation they ask you to press the reset button to proceed and you're saying that yours wasn't connected so...

you actually hit the reset button a few times. I don't know what its doing in those times but you hit reset, switch the switch and you do that again. No I don't have the disable feature installed on my wii so you definately don't need to have it connect for the flash

He would not fake a video are whatever, if he says he has an alpha test release and it works, then that's good enough to believe him.

I don't have a cyclowiz, i don't even have a modchip yet, (waiting on some things to make my own)

But how do we know that whackawookie actually tested a problem-game after he did the "update"?
There is no way for a normal user to see if the chip really updatet or if just a nice graphical programm ran wich didn't do anything.

People want a video proving its upgradeable i show a video proving so. I can sit here and make videos all day but it would just lead to another request. I tested wario warez and spongebob. Both had problems spongebob didn't even work. Wario runs perfectly with no stutter and spongebob now plays. And fyi all updates on each chip run in gamecube mode, unsigned code isn't possible in wii mode

I think TeamCyclops should be thanked for not lying like everyone said they did. They proved that the the chip is upgradeable and that the first gen chips that weren't d2b compatible are also upgradeable. It is just taking a little longer then expected but its for a reason not to just make people wait

But seeing as always game pretty much work waiting a bit is no problem. Just hope they release the update soon

This has nothing to do with "haters", just unhappy customers who have been lied to too many times.

Again, if you have a working update provide it to an independent third party that can verify. If not, this proves nothing. If everyone was forthright from the beginning you would not have this many skeptics.

You "skeptics" are something else.

There have been delays in the update, no major conspiracy going on here from what it looks like.

I am glad they released this, so the people that bought the Cyclowiz that have been waiting patiently can rest assured an update is soon to be here.

I wonder if this will make front page at wiinewz, if the site is even up..

03-11-2007, 10:28 AM
the app itself looks nice and professional. i trust this to be real, whackawookie would have alot of locked threads around here if it turned out otherwise and im sure he doesnt want that.

although on "theory proving video creation techniques", not showing it properly working with a problem game DOES open you up to question. if you made a video of it working after the update that would simply shut up anyone, and create alot of "when can i get it?" posts.

i do not think, however, that most of us who have been lead along with mistruths for the past few weeks are doubting that it can be flashed, but moreso pissed off that we're left in the dark to our own imaginations. i have zero chip programming knowledge so for me to assume it cant be flashed from what others tell me is all i have to go on. as i stated in one of my other posts, people are alot easier to handle when you are up front and honest with them. if they said "hey we're havin some problems we need more time, will update you when its ready" i would be alot happier then "its coming out tomorrow" then two weeks later another posting of the same. everyone seemed to miss the reason why we are upset. if it wasnt upgradable at all i had a simple solution of returning it so that never worried me aside from causing headache, but i hate delays and being kept in the dark.

overall if they do upgrade it i still will never buy from them again. im sure alot of people are in the same boat. i've said it a million times, everyone has problems, but its how you handle them that defines your company. they handled it poorly thus far, and theres still plenty of time to mess it up more. They shouldnt have given the go-ahead to a moderator of a forum that most likely 60%+ of cyclowiz users have never been to, they should have made a news posting a week ago.

i am not sure i said thanks but thanks, i just dont think that should have to be your job.

how long have you had this update?

What I didnt know till recently is to set it up as upgradable you need to solder even more wires, and also you have to use a swapdisc technique, please tell me how this beats other chips:confused:

The wires were all covered in the install details so it was hard to miss. I guess the benefit is that it stops your chip being 'upgraded' either by accident or design (if the Big N were to bury an update into one of there online upgrades or a game disc). I know my Xbox mod has a switch built in for that very reason.

I keep reading that they are "Working on some code" or "Fixing up some code"

Do you know what it is theyre working on exactly?

I can wait for an update no problem... i'm just wondering what EXACTLY is taking longer...?

Also, have you tried out any of the advertised extra features?

Booting NTSC-J, Pal, Etc...?

That would be nice to see on video... just to see that the extra features work.

I know, there are some true idiots on this forum. Pay no attention to nowaymon or any of the others that naysay every chance they get. It's funny how the lies have grown and Maxconsole went from having a few Cyclowiz adds on their site to being in some gigantic conspiracy leading to mass censorship. It's preposterous- these people are the very same that believe we're being watched and micro-chipped by aliens. The Wiikey has only one more solder point than the Cyclowiz- why on earth are people willing to believe that one is upgradeable and one is not? And what's with all these vague references to "being lied to over and over again"?! If you call a missed deadline an lie, well, every developer that has ever made a game including Nintendo have lied to us!

If you have nothing to do with the company, why did you get an advance copy of the update??

Can you even READ?! It's because he's a tester! Perhaps you would rather have Teamcyclops just test the chip in-house on 1 or 2 systems before releasing it to the world!

PS- I vote these idiots should be banned when the update comes out.

Thank You whackawookie, Its nice to see this issue addressed with some real proof they are working on the update.:D

IMHO, since the chip seemed to be a sprint to get it to market before the competition. Cyclowiz is, I hope, taking its time so the upgrade will finally make the chip live up to its potential.

At least I truely hope that is the case... :rolleyes:

Oh, yeah, and just what do you think Maxconsole would do if the update didn't come? They wouldn't run their operation into the ground just to lie to you about a chip. Get your head out of your stinkhole. Some people just can't think their crack-pot theories all the way through.

I am sure this video is real but still we were promised this update in our hands for going on four weeks now. This is no way to support users who paid money for this mod.

nowaymon
03-11-2007, 01:45 PM
I do apologize for coming across as critical. This is a step in the right direction per my prior posts (i.e. some type of news from either TeamCyclops or the resellers). The problem with relying on a short video is that we were lied to multiple times by the manufacturer (I received a nice e-mail from TeamCyclops stating I would get the upgrade this week..promise) on top of their other notices to people. In addition, we received no updates at all from any reseller until this morning. Combined with the risks that people identified of possibly bricking the chips for no reason when you do try to upgrade it does make it very hard to rely on someone that has unsold Cyclowiz inventory (nothing personal).

I still think that providing the upgrade to a third party would go a long way to making a lot of people more comfortable. Since I didn't get a reply to that, at a minimum can someone at least let us know a) how far along they are in the testing phase and b) what is the current timetable for release (and please don't say "next week", it's too much of a running joke at this point).

Erant
03-11-2007, 01:46 PM
Cyclowiz still sucks, I know they've conned several developers. The developers sold them code, and Cyclowiz told them they'd pay them through the mail. Not a single one has actually received any money.


Oops, I'm really sorry about this, the developers in question did in fact receive their money, it was merely a miscommunication. I'm sorry if I caused anyone harm, it was non-intentional.

Lol! :D

In case everyone hasn't figured it out from these posts, teamcyclops just posted a news update:

Sorry for the lack of news lately. While we didn't update the site we tried to keep up with support mails as we wanted to wait for something concrete for the site. We clearly underestimated the time needed to create the upgrade disc and we apologize for that.

First of all, solving the slowdown issue was only possible by changing the whole firmware structure. Technically speaking, up until now the chip was becoming transparent just before disc started to spin. It was not possible to use this method while using full speed reading. This major structure change lead to some other problems that had to be resolved and a lot of testing and debugging had to be performed. That alone took much more time than what we expected, but we now have an elegant solution, the chip becomes transparent as soon as the disc is initialized. The other major challenge was making an upgrader with a GUI, what we didn't plan to do at first. While it sounds simple, the complexity of the task was not properly evaluated.

We are happy to say than both the new firmware and the upgrader are entering testing phase. While we still have to fix a couple of minor bugs and test it on several consoles, we are really close to the public release.

We already sent the current version of the upgrader to a few respected sceners. One video of the upgrader in action on a first generation CycloWiz has already been put online here. We know that people don't want videos or reviews, but be assured that it's only a question of days : the testers are free to release the alpha upgrader should we not provide a final upgrader within one week. We'll keep you updated daily until it's released. We hope this clarifies the situation.

whackawookie
03-11-2007, 02:09 PM
damn i'll have to add a wire to the reset button

on the contrary theres no need for the wire to the reset button. As I've said I didnt install the disable switch so my flash was done with everything installed but the disable feature. Imports are working partially this is already the case for all the other chips, the speed issue is resolved and the non working games seem to be working. Although I can only confirm spongebob as the only true non working game working now but thats only because I only have that to test. I will post more results when there available but It shouldnt be too much longer as you can see when you read here http://www.teamcyclops.com/news.html :D. Greets to erant and djoen, haven't seen you guys in a bit.

I'm glad they updated their site, and though most of everything said and the video is essentially pointless, the only thing that isn't pointless is that the alpha is out, and can be distributed in a week if they're not done.

I say everything is pointless because we have constantly been told that it's coming every week, and in that sense, a video is no different at proving that it's coming, as many have said, it's a GUI. I didn't doubt they were working on it, only that they weren't being successful at it.

Did you make this video, whackawookie? I'll have a lot more faith in them if you say yes.

I doubt it. Just pressing the reset button doesn't disable the the Cyclowiz....you have to HOLD down the reset button WHILE the console is starting from off mode (red light, not yellow standby mode). Likewise, to re-enable the chip you have to put the console back into red-light off mode and then turn it on. It's a very robust system in my opinion.

can you get open season and test that. Currently it shows up as un reconizable and I have to unplug my wii for 30 mins before anything else will boot again. Thanks
Why is everyone so anxious about that game? It got like a 3.9 with a rating of "bad" over at Gamespot....having a game like that not work isn't exactly what i would consider a problem ;).

p.e. because the new games that will be released can use open season DVD scheme to override the Cyclowiz

Thanks for the post whackawookie! I for one will accept this as proof that an update is now at least possible and will wait just a tad more patiently.

One thing I am sad about though, now that there is evidence to support Cylowiz, the drama level will begin to drop. A few less heated arguments =(

I <3 drama.

Even tho it got a 3.9 my kids enjoy the game thus I would like someone to test it out with the upgrade :)

In other words... "Postcount = Postcount + 1"
This guy is incredible! I guarantee you that he joined our bandwagon of genuine thanks as a reason to post in the thread. Neither the video nor the CycloWiz controversy really concerned him.

His English is so bad that he has effectively contributed NOTHING to the MC forums. At first, I tolerated it thinking he just needed practice, but now it's clear that he just wants a high post count to impress people he can't even communicate with. Xenogears: Go practice on paper for a few years. MC will still be here (I hope).

May I ask, what is meant by the statement, "Imports are working partially"? Transparent import functionality is the one feature I have been sitting on the fence over. I need the mod to be able to play ForeverBlue / whatever else happens to hit Japan before here (if ever here) the moment it's available - without having to worry about a game not working, or waiting for some sort of "oops, we'll update the chip to fix that, someday" solution.

Try holding the power button when switching the console off (untill the red led)

after that everything should work normally ;)

sigh. Team Cyclops said " We'll keep you updated daily until it's released."

Here we are... the 1st day after that post, and already they missed their deadline promise again.

Geez. These people are the worst at meeting their own deadlines, whether it be the release of a video, update, or even a minute taken to write a quick note on the site to "keep us updated daily."

I'm pretty sure they are going to come through in the end now, (though I'll wait to see how others' updates go first) but man... if I were dating them we'd have broken up looong ago.

Why did my post get deleted? I simply said that this proves nothing. I am not discrediting whackawookie or TeamCyclops. I just stated that it could just be gamecube homebrew and my post gets deleted. This proves, to me at least, that maxconsole is extremely biased and doesn't want any bad news about their cyclowiz.

everyone needs to chill.

the wookie is reliable.
if you can't trust him, you should read another forum.

try playing some other games until the update is released.
or spank your monkey.

they said 1 more week at most, if not he said he would release the alpha.

whackawookie,

I just installed a CycloWiz V2 today and I accidently turned on the Wii with the switch set to "On" and now my LED on the chip doesn't turn on. Do you think the update will 'cure' me and will update to fix this? My LED was on prior to installing the update swtich. I checked all my connections with a multimeter. Disable swtich hooked up, tried around 20+ times of rebooting, different turn on with reset methods etc.

Thanks
