So I've posted here a few times (often regarding the same kinds of shit), I'll skip describing everything I've done as it's safe to say I've run all the updates right and kept it all Japanesezy (after the strikers scare, which gave me the famed double channels that the smg update didn't get rid of). All was going well when I decided that a wiikey 2 update wouldn't come out soon and I really wanted a lil smg action.
I'd been running all games I wanted to with the 1.9g update, as I said in a different thread: every game but SMG. I read somewhere that it -might- work if I set the read speed to 3x. So, in the past when I'd tried it there was really no change; but NOW after setting it to 3x and region over ride off (to play ntsc-J smg)(wanted to try something I hadn't before) NONE of my non-ntsc-j games work. my officially purchased JP games work, and my backups (all except umbrella) all work. However, EVERY OTHER GAME, PAL or U get DREs. Please don't send me messages on how to burn roms, I've been doing it since the wiikey came out; but do tell me if this has happened to anyone else?
Here's kicker... THE 1.3 SETUP DISCS won't load... I can't DL the 1.1 & .2 discs 'kuz Wiikey's down (again), so I cannot try that root
and while I can run the 1.9b/g updates over and over (y'never know at this point), NOTHING'S WORKING.....
I went from having a 2.2 semi (like all the rest) to THIS.....
I was well into the last stages of BWii2 and S.Calibur when this bullshit went down....
Again, I have reason to believe I have a clone chip as 1.9g made a bunch of other games that didn't work before playable; however SMG is still no go. Also, DREs are random, that is to say I can play a disc for days (say, mp3c/bba/tonyhawk pg/others) and then not use it, and then use it again. At least this little WTF episode has allowed me to beat 0079.
So, any ideas? How do I fix this if you've been there?
How do I detect if I have a clone w/out opening the box?
How the fuck do I rectify the situation kuz I'm sick of this glitchy BS....
thx,
A
