after i updated to 1.9b i can't get the 1.3 config working. even when i put in the 1.2 i get a black screen with an eror message. The only GC discs i can boot is mario kart and melee. 1.2 and both games worked before wii update and when the new wii update came along that screwed with the homebrew discs only the games work

gah! I'm at my wits ends!

After the upgrade to 1.9g certain game cube games like NHL06 can't seem to load or save while Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4 will get random mute that has to be hard reset to get sound back. Let me know if you have similar problems with the same game or different games. For now GCOS is the quick fix, but I rather have it proper fix by the next firmware.

First off - 1.9 (b or g) are updates, not setup discs. They work fine on clones.

Update your WiiKey to 1.9g and make sure you put the update on quality media and burn it the way your Wii has good success reading. Now try the 1.3 setup disc again. If it still won't work download it directly from wiikey.cn and burn it again in the manner your Wii likes.

Nope, actually some (note: some) clones CANNOT update with G.. (and probably not with B either) due to wrong fuse values or whatever it was

Please show me one true WiiKey clone (an ATMEGA8L) that can't be updated from the Wii when it is properly installed and a proper update disc is used. One person started those posts about bad fuse values and it's all speculation.

same here, config disk 1.1 and 1.3 worked fine after update to 1.9g.
but when is loaded the 5-10% update files of the smg disk, it couldn't load the config disks.

i used a gc collection gamedisk to get to the loader and than put the config disk in and loaded the file.

got a wiikey with hologram. so real.

How did you update it - with a programmer or via DVD? Did it quit working immediately after the update? If you used a programmer which file did you flash it with?

To avoid misinformation...

I bought a Wiikey from DealExtreme, and it's widely reputed to be a clone. I updated it to 1.9b and then to g the other day without problems. The setup disc 1.3 works fine also. I can play real games and back ups.

So for the record, and from my experience, my clone wiikey (if it is) works 100% like the original.

edit: I had one instance where before I updated, I got an initializing drive error. I re-burned (IMG BURN) the update ISO without filechop, tried again, and it worked like a charm. Don't know if this helps...

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
