I would've thought a fix would be out within 5 days of SSBX releasing, but I haven't heard any news. That means legit SSBB in the US won't even run on Wiikey chip probably....that's unacceptable...

OP, you could always switch the Wiikey off. Although that takes a bit of effort installing a switch and you still wouldn't be able to play legitimate imports. If you're too lazy to put in a switch you could always download a US copy of Brawl when it's out.

wow, whta a great compromise for buying a crappy modchip. "hey, basically all the chips out there play legit DL games, but wiikey doesn't, but that's okay because you can install a freaking switch instead of having the chip not suck ass"
gotta hand it to the wiikey team for screwing up LEGIT games and then not doing anything about it for a month now.
I'm having a horrible experience with burned DL discs, so I'd hesitate to say that they "work the same."cruddybuddy said:falco123 said:Heran Bago said:hanman said:ah, i assumed he was referring to a backup copyAhh, you should read the OP.

Here's an idea for you, just play a damn backup! It works the same and you can keep your special "real" disc safe. Or better yet, since the Wiikey is so "crappy," why don't you just pull it and you can play all the legits you want. Problem solved.
They do work the same, but the problem is if you don't/can't burn them right. I've wasted some money on a DL burner and media because I listened to people say 2 year old and/or laptop burners suck at burning them (and because I sorta didn't realize my laptop burner suppported DL at the start). But now I've got it working.CZroe said:I'm having a horrible experience with burned DL discs, so I'd hesitate to say that they "work the same."
falco123 said:How about you stop defending the Wiikey for not fixing such a blatant problem in their chip? It's laughable that you'd rather play backups which degrade the laser as it is than the legit, if I have it.
Actually, you don't even need to go that far. Why is this even an argument, "oh it's okay to not be able to play the legit disc since you can just burn it anyway," that SHOULDN'T be acceptable in any fashion. It's bad business, simple as that.
falco123 said:"What is bad business? That their chip doesn't work with a game that wasn't even out when you installed it?"
Yeah, that's why it's called an "update." To fix their chip when things come out that don't work. You could have saved yourself a lot of time from typing that meaningless rant if you stopped for a second to think about what you're saying. Don't try to bring in irrelevant factors other than the topic at hand, either.
And like I said, it's been almost exactly a month with no news.
It's bad business to sell a chip based on upgradeability and then just disappear of the face of the earth (the website has been gone for months). This is THEIR glitch... the WiiKey is not supposed to be active when original discs are inserted. It just assumes that any DL disc is a backup for multi-game GCOS disc (stupid assumption). It was bad enough that they sold the damned thing claiming that it supported audiostreaming/audiofix for GC games when it did not, and then delaying the update to add the promised functionality just to spread FUD about clones not working long enough to sell them until they were obsolete (D2C). This was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt when they released the leaked update as "official" MUCH later (they were obviously delaying it for other reasons).cruddybuddy said:falco123 said:How about you stop defending the Wiikey for not fixing such a blatant problem in their chip?

What is bad business? That their chip doesn't work with a game that wasn't even out when you installed it? Are you going to get all pissed off when you can't play Wii2 games either? And what if Nintendo comes up with a foolproof WiiKey stopper? Are you going to bitch about that too? Quit complaining about what you don't have and be happy about what you do have. Are you going to say you haven't been able to steal hundreds of dollars in games with the WiiKey? Then be happy about all the damned money you saved you ungrateful whiner. If you were so concerned about the laser then you shouldn't have installed the chip to begin with. What an annoying complainer you are.
And for those having DL media problems, use Verbatim 8x like everyone told you to do!

And I like how you zeroed-in on the weakest point, completely ignoring the others; which includes the fact that you have saved hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars with the WiiKey and you are still an ungrateful brat.
