Hacking GC help on WiiKey

[AlexElder]

Hi everyone,

Ive come across some problems with my friends wii.

It plays regular wii back ups just fine, but it does not read GC backups. So I can't update it and add the 1.9g patch etc...

It is an NTSC wii, with a wiikey without any updates or patches because I can't get it to read GC backups. The backups do work on my wii perfectly.

I opened it up again to see if I placed any of the wires in the wrong place and they all are fine. Is there a particular solder spot that is responsible for GC backups only?

Thanks in advance for any help.

thats odd are the update iso's padded?

He needs to change the region settings to "on," with the wiikey disc.

Seriously this is most likely the problem, I had the same situation but I wasn't able to play SNES or Sega emulators.
Once I turned that setting on it worked mint.

This is what I used, might be best to burn on a DVD -RW since it is a small file.

Problem is the Wiikey disc's don't even work. It doesnt read anything that is read as a GC disk. The dvd's that I am using are working copies as they work perfectly in my wii.

try GCOS to burn it, I heard that helps sometimes.
