WiiKey update 1.9g released

nilsk123 · Nov 1, 2007

My situation:

Pal wii
Latest firmware
original wiikey firmware ( never updated )
duplicate channels from metroid

I just tried to update my wiikey for smg, it tested but when it was at a hundred percent it gave me an error and said to check my connections.

I rebooted my wii, tried again and it immediatly started flashing the chips ( without testing)>

At hundred percent it told me it had failed and I should check wiikey.cn for recovery options.

I rebooted my wii and inserted a back-up, it read just fine.

Now burning smg hoping it flashed right eventhough it said it failed.

Wish me luck

Update:

Burned, put in game, asks for update, updating now.

Update:

Game updated, it read the disc, started it, locks on load with error: an error has occcured, press eject blah blah. GOD DAMMIT

I can't figure this out.

Today I updated my chip to 1.9g without a problem. However, config disc 1.2 and 1.3 won't boot (it gives the typical error). Mario won't boot when left unaltered or when I use RegionFrii on it. I tried booting the config disc 1.2 and 1.3 using a GCMOS as well, but that also gives the same error.

How can I enable region override?

The only relases out are NTSC. Do you mean has anyone tried the US version on the Japanese Wii?

thekid · Nov 1, 2007

yea m8 on a jap wii

Mario Galaxy American NTSC version doesn't work on a Japanese Wii. Gives a blue box with some words with error. Probably since you can't choose english language.

confirmed working for me... I have a US Wii. I had 1.9b firmware had tried Mario Galaxy before, did the update... got the 001. Just installed 1.9g, look at the girl's ass, updated. Popped in Galaxy... works great! I noticed in the "strap on your wiimote" warning the put that dumb sleeve in the picture now... lol... anyway fantastic game, can't wait to play more when I get home. I also booted Batalion Wars 2 fine and Pikmin 2 loaded fine... seems all is peachy in the mushroom kingdom.

hmm I still don't own a wii.. I wonder if one could still purchase one somehow that has the old chipset, becuase I still have the old wiikey chip. my ex seems to have ebeneezered my wii from me, but she bought it so who cares.

Good luck finding one with the old chipset

I updated from the old wiikey firmware (pre-1.9b), straight to 1.9g -- Galaxy works great.

This game is a definite must-own guys, I've never seen a game that looks so good -- it looks better than all the hi-def games out there, and Wii is only 480p

Get a wii off ebay which is listed as older than June 2007. So any machine from December 2006 - June 2007 should be able to fit the wiikey.

If the listing doesnt say how old it is, just ask the seller.

Its the easiest way, otherwise you need a D2CKey, which is very hard to install.

Alright, this is how I did it (yes it works WOO)

First of all, I have a PAL wii and the Prominent SMG version.

- Download the beta 1.9g update and burn it on a DVD, obviously a CD won't work.
- Slip it in the wii, execute the update.
- Burn Mario galaxy (do NOT use brickblocker, do NOT use regionfrii), preferrably with IMGburn
- Pop in your original boot disc which you needed when you modded your Wii and turn the OVERRIDE mode back on (yes it automatically turns itself off)
- Put in Mario Galaxy
- VERY IMPORTANT, change the language of the WII to ENGLISH, otherwise it will not, I repeat, NOT work.
- Start the game and HAVE FUN

YES IT WORKS THE GAME IS SOOOOOOOOOG GODLY

Kylix · Nov 1, 2007

I hate myself.

I went to turn my Wii off after updating to 1.9g, but i accidentally hit the reset button just before i hit the power button, so it started updating again just before i turned it off, and now my Wiikey's buggered.

The recovery disk doesn't seem to do anything either.

Goddamn it.

Zesto · Nov 1, 2007

And that's a big FUCK YOU to the people who said it would take a long time.

Good job, Wiikey team.

duplicate channels?
I have a 3.0E Wii, should i update to 3.1 before doing this?
thx

HipN · Nov 1, 2007

I take back all the things I said about the Wiikey team. My bad. But damn, it works!!!

And yeah, it's a good thing that the original coder is gone...psh. Also, my only problem with the update is the the way it looks. Doesn't look too professional.

softstar · Nov 1, 2007
