this doesnt work i used it on tos ntc to pal using the reccomended patch. put disc in and i get that fucking disc error need to eject everytime.
 
I'm trying to patch Rayman Raving Rabbids to work on my Japanese Wii (it came with 3.4J, but I downgraded to 3.2J). I have a Wiikey 2, and so far, this is the only game I haven't been able to patch to get to work from the Disc Channel. I can load them from GeckoOS/Backup Launcher, but I got a modchip so I wouldn't have to mess with that stuff and I'd really prefer to find another solution.

So far I've patched it with WGLPv2, with WiiJunkies, with WiiFrii, and different combinations of the three. Every time I get an "Eject disc and shut off your Wii" error.

Other games that didn't work unpatched, like Cooking Mama, Super Mario Galaxy, and Boom Blox work fine now, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
 
sounds like a wiikey 2 problem because you shouldn't have to do ANY patching or anything with a modchip.....1:1 copies should work fine. Have you tried updating the wiikey?

agreed, two things:

-did you try it unpatched at all?
-sometimes language setting makes a difference...which is where geckoOS is actually the easier option
(ex: Disaster (JAP) wouldn't work on mine without language change (to the game's default language, not the one I wished it was)

ps: wiikey is lame

The chip has the latest firmware, version 1.2.

Patching is required to block updates (unless the modchip has an update blocker) and override language and video settings if the game is from a different region. Games without updates from the same region as your console should work fine unpatched. I am trying to play a NTSC-U game on a NTSC-J console.

I did try it unpatched, and got a black screen.

You're right, the language settings do make a difference... which is why I am trying to patch the iso.

For now, GeckoOS/Backup Launcher work, so it's not a dire emergency, but I'd like to A) be able to just stick the disc in and play and B) figure out why this is happening in case I run into the same problem in the future.

nothing, wiigator's BL includes geckoos you just have to force Ntsc if your wii is.

I'm driving myself nuts trying to get the Pal version of New Play Control Pikmin to work on my NTSC Wii with Backup Loader Gamma. I tried WiiFrii but it just boots to a green screen >.
 
Hi everyone
moogle.gif
i have a question , i got wiifrii 2.3b got the common-key (called it common-key) and put the key into the same folder than the wiifrii i start wiifrii, put the iso into it , press enter and the window close.... and nothing happen after that so what do i wrong (btw i have windows XP) and i use a wii with homebrew channel got trough twlight hack, using wiigator.. can anyone help me pls >
 
If it's crashing at step 1 (reading main.dol) make sure you have the common key in the same directory as wiifrii.
Make sure it is named either "common-key", "ckey.bin", or "key.bin".

It can NOT be named "common-key.bin".
(This is what was causing the problem for me - I just assumed .bin would be accepted.)

If it is named common-key, and still not working, you may have known file extensions set to not show (and bin registered as a known file extension).

Name the file "common-key".
If that doesn't work, name it "ckey.bin".
If that doesn't work, then post here about it.
 
Isnt working for me..I tried naming it common-key and ckey.bin and key.bin but all i get when i open it is the path that i opened it and

@@ press any button to continue and when i try putting the game iso in the doesnt do anything.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Can you please assist me to the right direction to find the key. I am having a difficult time fining it.
Thank you
