any News if you can add BCA Code for future games and if Wiikey Team will release a Editor for this?

 

[fryguy]

@taktularCBo: doesn't seems like it :/

"* v1.3

- Added hardcoded BCA for NSMB game to enable owners of this title
to play a backup of it using Wiikey 2."

So i guess when the next game which reads BCA we're fscked again :/

There's no chance that the Wiikey 2 update will work for the original Wiikey is there?

I weep for my obsolete chip

I don't know if this was mentioned already, but it looks like Wasabi has updated their firmware.

hxxp://www.wasabi.net.cn/

They list this as a beta and that a final version will be out soon.

 

[shepe]

looking at wasabi's site it said that the BCA data needs to be patched into offset $100 in the ISO does that not meen that the disc is nolonger signed by nintendo and you require truchad ios's to play them?

 

[fryguy]

@shepe: they probably put the BCA value outside the actual ISO, i think read that it was possible. I would have prefered if Wiikey-team would had used this approach as well. But i can atleast play NSMB without software now.

No wiikey 1 firmware, that is messed up.

It works fine for me with Gecko cheats but the update would give the assurance that the chip is supported without the need of special applications.

 

[taktularCBo]

well...Im sure they added BCA-Code reading, like for DriveKey and Wasabi.
It would be just stupid to not do it, cause if you can add NSMB BCA Code, you can also add to read it inside the ISO.
I just need to know which offset!
I wrote them an e-mail...we will see!

So will I have to patch an iso before burning it then? or are release groups going to release the isos as required by wasabi?

 

[fryguy]

@shepe: i suppose you have to patch them, but perhaps the scene groups will include a ppf-file with the isos.

I hope you're right, but the readme for the update disc doesn't mention anything about it. Only that it has hardcoded support for NSMB.

I was able to patch this and it worked. I used HxD.

I did a file, save as and saved it as a different name and then burned it at 4x with Imgburn onto TDK DVD-R disk.

Notice that x133 is changed to 01 (all of the other values are correct by default). I've played through world 1-3 with no problems. Before it would give a DRE after 1-1. I have a Wasabi v3.

My IOS53 is still patched, but I doubt that matters since I'm not signing the disc. Only one bit is being changed!

I patched this game the way the tutorial said to, but its still asks for an update. just when I try to play it with the disc channel and the modchip.

playing it using neogamma , and USB doesn't ask for an update, though.

is it still not safe to update through the game?
I'm still on 4.1u



where is the update blocker ?
is it blocked when you scrub the disc? or is it blocked on the console?

I tried to patch the game but when I open the ISO with WiiScrubber I couldn´t navigate through it. It showed two partitions with a (bad) in front of... Besides, WiiScruber said it only hand about 140 mb

Could my ISO be corrupted?

I found a solution for the D2CKey users on 4.2 with only thing they have to install on their Wii is the Homebrew Channel. After that it's just a matter of running Geck OS with a cheatcode that runs the game for you. I don't know if this is the same solution as mentioned in the openingpost in this topic, but I used this website: http://www.ps3news.com/forums/wii-news/gui...sed-108847.html

Yeah, I've seen it already... but it didn't work... =(

Seriously, i think i've downloaded this game 6 times since i began to follow these "guides": patched NTSC, scrubbed NTSC, normal PAL, normal NTSC.....
I can't realize what I'm doing wrong.

I have D2CKey (Wii 4.2) with Homebrew Channel. I got a clear NTSC Iso, downloaded the cheat, put it in the "codes" folder, Gecko O.S recognized the cheat, applied it and... green screen!
I'm clueless....
