Hacking quick question

[GeordieMick]

do all pal wii games have the chip detection on them now? (error 001)

I thought only ssbb and super mg had them...

 

[kedest]

yes, more and more games will have that protection.
the best solution is to update your chip (or replace it, if updating is impossible), instead of trying to patch the disc, because Nintendo can block that (and so apparantly they did with firmware 3.3)

what chip detection?

what chip detection?

The 'error 001 unauthorized device has been detected' thing. I believe it's not actually detecting the chip itself, but it can detect that the disc is a copy.

never heard of it, never run into it.
even with ssbb or MG. Both of which worked on first burn.
should i be thanking cyclowiz?

That protection was first introduced with super mario galaxy. The game would display that error and refuse to run on most major modchips. It scared a lot of people back then, thinking Nintendo had finally beaten piracy. But the solution came quickly. Amost all chips got firmware updates and now that error is no longer a problem.

this isn't a problem with YAOSM 3.0 is it?

 

[kedest]

No, YAOSM is up to date and has a fix for that new protection, since v1.9
