Hardware New 3.1J Firmware

[tjas]

According to several chines and taiwanese boards the new wii firmware updates make a modded console useless...

A new member of gbatemp stormyuan came with this info

Hi,

SSBB JP version arrive in Taiwan and HK
someone tested with original game disc

1.Wiikey 1.9g + jp wii console can't play the game(not bakup game. Yes you can't play the game
with wiikey-modded wii)
(someone says that he turn off wiikey-modchip , then he can play SSBB.)
2.d2cpro/d2ekey +jp wii console can play the game(not bakup game)
3.LG dvd rom can't recognize the game disc (so there are no backup )
4.the game included 3.1J update
5.some(not very much) people talk that they can't play the game with no-moded wii(poor guy)

(no-modded wii)
6.never test with USB Gecko

note:
normally, if you put the original game dicc to wii, the main screen show "update" , after update complete, you can play the game.(SSBB. jp version include update )

blog: http://totorogo.dyndns.org/?p=417 (poor guy who can't play the game with no-modchip wii)

you can read the blog(there are some pics), it says he try every methods that he can find (include update wii from net, power off wii) . 1 hour later , wii still couldn't recognize SSBB ....

So I guess that it is reliable...

Sad. Time to desactivate WiiConnect

I'll believe it when I see it.

The only part that doesn't make sense is that everyone gives up after this "LG drive can't read the disc"

WELL GUESS WHAT, there are alternatives. Why wouldn't they immediately try those? pfft

So you copied this from another topic and made a new topic which you didn't have to do and what's posted above contradicts what you have said so STFU and close this topic because we honestly didn't need ANOTHER topic about brawl working/not working.

Doesnt prove anything... just looks like some blog is aching for attention. He even used the picture that has been circulating around as "proof it doesnt work"... in face it appears that picture is an old one of the original SPM error!
Picture cited as proof: http://picasaweb.google.com/totorojack/Sup...925255490809410
-Note the album is called "Super paper mario"

Also on the first picture of "proof" it has the correct date.... but the wii disc is shown as "loading" or reading (disc spinning). Proof, no way.

right, so it DOESNT render a modchip useless, since he cant play SSBB, doesnt mean all other games wont work.

So its one in a million.

I will laugh if it's 100% true.

 

[Kenshin2k]

i thought drive modchips couldnt been detected ..either disabled??

 

[flob87]

3.1J = 3.1U = 3.1E

I will laugh if it's 100% true.

Me too

This topic is not devoted to brawl, thats what you make of it, it is about THE NEW FIRMWARE learn to read ignorate wanabe mod..

and whats wrong? The d2ekey can play the original (because it isn't detected?)

No proof of new firmware exists. It would be on scene news sites. This topic fails.

Wiikey will not activate when an original game is put into the system. This is totally made up.

 

[Kenshin2k]

i am really interested in seeing how nintendo will block an DRIVE MODCHIP.

Don't be an ass to ANYONE!
* Posting multiple threads about the same topic.

couple of things i just saw at the front page

to both, H8TR and tjas.

Either way, everyone just needs to wait and see what happens once its gets release into the WWW.

I thought some of the Audio Fix dispute months back contradict this? Wasn't there people saying that even their legit GCN games were having issues with a wiikey install and that is why they wanted the audio fix after such a long wait.

Not that I'm flat out saying you're wrong as I only just got the wii modded a week ago and lack concise information on that dispute. Not to mention that this could always be a difference in how the wiikey functions between Wii and GCN games of course.

Fails in what way? Proving that brawl works or not works? It is clear that brawl updates the wii with new firmware.. so than the info I posted are based upon that fact, at the end the verrified specs on the behaviour of the update will be clear, which in this thread could be discussed.

And if you don't like the topic.. don't read, just ignore it

Seems alot of people care about this bland, average-at-best game.....
