1.9g beta, also called 1.9g hotfix, is the only 1.9g release available. In other words, they are all the same and the only ones.
Most likely not. Remember the requirements are:
1)For non-japanese wii's, having your wii updated to the 3.1 level firmware prior to playing the game. Check your wii's configuration menu to see if your wii is 3.1u (USA NTSC-U) or 3.1e (Europe PAL). If it's not at 3.1, connect your wii to the internet or try to find a game that will upgrade it (for PAL, you may try wii chess or donkey kong jet racer). But always check you indeed have a 3.1 wii.
2)For non-japanese wii's: to have autoregion enabled in your chip or, alternatively, use regionfrii to set the iso of the game to your region prior to burning it. Either single one or both options work. When in doubt, use regionfrii.
3)For wiikey users, to have at least 1.9g revision of their chip's firmware (i.e. can play mario galaxy).
4)To allow the update of this game to run (totally or partially). If you never let the update run at all because you brick-block all your copies, you'll never be able to play this game.
5)Find a good combination of burner/media that will produce a dual layer recording that your wii likes. This is a bit of trial and error and you should try at least two different brands of media and two burners before you even start suspecting your problem maybe something else. Recommended recording speeds are in general 2.4x and 4x. Recommended media brands in general are TDK, Memorex and Verbatim. Recommended burners in general are: most recent ones less than a year old, otherwise pioneer and non-laptop burners, in general.
6)For owners of wii's with chips other than wiikey, the dual layer burnt backup of this game may be a lot harder to run than for others. You should also be using DVD+R DL media (instead of DVD-R) and set the layerbreak in your recording software to 2084960. (i.e. on imgburn tools->settings->Write->Layer Break->User specified and type 2084960)
If you follow these directions, you have a very high chance of being able to play this game fully, without tricks or swaps, with your full dvd9 backup copy of ssbb. The only problem is that it will leave you with duplicated news and weather channels on non-japanese wii's, unless you resort to the 15% trick, which is explained elsewhere.

has a way been found to play the original game on a wiikey modded system? I'm afraid my US copy might not be playable when it's finally out
For those having problems running this game, you should try setting the layerbreak on the recording software (i.e. imgburn->write iso to dvd->tools->settings->write->layerbreak->user specified->2084960).
This is almost necessary for d2ckey users and some other non-wiikey chips.

I would like to play original Japanese SSBB on US Wii modded with D2C -
Do I do the following?
* Update the US Wii to the latest firmware by plugging it into the internet/update or load Super Mario Galaxy game.
* Check the configuration menu that it is firmware 3.1
* Load the original japanese Super Smash BB disc. It will ask you to update the Japanese stuff. Allow the update.
[I will get double channels. I can get around the double channels by pulling the plug when the update progresses to 15%, if I wanted to.]
* Once that's done, I can play the game.
Are the above steps correct? I would really hate to brick it.
Many thanks - awesome forum.

Wiinja layer break method was confirmed working on WiiD by someone.
I have WiiD and I'm trying to decide whether to try it out, or wait until US release and try it on that.
If it doesn't work, I'll just wait until US release, and if it does, I'll have to burn it again on US release anyway. DL DVDs are twice as expensive here as in US (6.5 USD)
kefp: It should really not be necessary to ask. Also, the worst thing that can happen is a semibrick, which won't stop your wii from running games and which can be fixed as soon as a game comes out with the 3.2 update on it.

Thank you jdbye.
I wanted to make sure as I own the Wii for total of 1 day and have been reading pages and pages and pages of posts. My original shrink wrapped japanese SSBB just arrived.
So you are saying, I can do it without permanently bricking the Wii.
Thx

ive tried a couple of dual layer discs on a friends wii, but neither recognise (the discs work on mine and other wiis).
could his lense be dirty? every dvd5 (normal wii) game works fine.

If he is running the same modchip than you, then the most likely cause is that his wii's reader is tuned too low for the discs you are using. Perhaps he could try finding an even better media/burner combination to burn a disc and see if his wii can read it that way.
If not, he could try cleaning his lens or tweaking his laser (settings->Write->Layer Break->User specified and type 2084960).
Of course, you have to also make sure that his wii meets the usual requirements. In short, that he has the firmware updated to 3.1 revision and that he runs the update of SSBB (either totally or partially). For this, the burnt game shouldn't have brick-blocker applied, of course.
Also, if his modchip doesn't have autoregion enabled and he is not in a Japanese wii, he would need to either enable automatic multiregion on it or alternatively run regionfrii on the iso before burning a copy for him.
Yeah I installed the chip for him and its exactly the same as mine. Maybe its the discs, but we are not gonna bother burning any more until the USA release is out. I said i might clean his lense if need be, i am not gonna tweak lasers though.
everything else is fine because the dvd5 version works on his.

Just wanted to post that SSBB(J) does indeed work on WiiD v3
Here's my specs:
Japanese Wii
WiiD v3
D2B chipset
using DVD+R DL Verbatim made in Singapore
I got it to work using this method:
I managed to get it working just using the layer break, I didn't try BrickBlocking it or anything else since i had no need to. This method DOES work for the WiiD though. No skipping during movies that I've heard of or any problems whatsoever, was playing it for several hours straight, often changing modes.
EDIT: Seems someone beat me to the confirmation
Oh well, if this post is useless, feel free to delete it.

x10ti0n: No, that's great. Like I said it was confirmed by someone, as in, some random guy on MaxConsole. Didn't know whether to believe him, but now that you've confirmed it too, it sounds likely.
I had problems with my full DVD9 version, nothing on the second layer could be read. Then I switched it over to 50 hz and it all works perfectly
My duallayer ist ... partially working.
I have to start with the Brickblocked Dual Layer -> Green Error -> Switch to DVD5 version -> Intro Plays -> Switch to Dual Layer again -> Play
But in the last step the Dual layer is only (!) recognized when the Wii (and so also it's drive) is placed "normally" and not vertically.. I hope you understand , my english lacks quite a bit ;-)
I have absolutely no idea why.. but this is a fact and it's repeatable (at least for my Wii)

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time. -
