I'm freaking out right now, hopefully somebody can lend me a hand!

I just purchased a new copy of Golden eye.

I also updated my Wiikey to 1.99b. My Wii firmware is still probably 4.0 and lower.

All my older games (backed-up and original copy) work. I popped in the Golden eye disc and click play and I get a black screen.

Anybody know why this may be happening? Maybe the disc can detect my mod chip? Maybe my disc is defective?

Any help would be great!

I've not touched my Wii in almost 2 years (I cracked it out today). The last time I fiddled with this stuff only involved installing a hard mod and updating the wiikey firmware.

What is this IOS stuff?

Shouldn't the game work, since I don't have any homebrew installed?

Will updating my wii through internet solve my problem?

Well theres your problem! You probably don't have the IOS required to play it. I wouldn't update it online just now, but you could probably get a 4.2 or 4.0 wad from NUSD and install it, then use DOP-MII to install the other IOSes. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Updating to 4.3 might disable your modchip, I'm not sure. maybe not. But even still, you will have to reinstall a heckload of things

BTW, games require IOS to work. Think of IOS as a .NET Framework and the Newer games need that .NET framework to run.

you have something that's blocking disc updates....like priiloader or startpatch....something....(possible your wiikey is doing it)...

anyhow, the game is requiring an IOS that is not there (likely because it's been idle for 2 years)...

i suggest doing a softmod guide to get your IOSes up to date....alot has been added in the past two years....try Modmii or the 'update any wii' guides

edit: Ron975 beat me to the punch....

I guess my question is...

I don't care so much for the ability to do homebrew at the moment. In another thread I asked a question regarding wiikey and was told that 1.99b would be fine with 4.3u (all correct region games will work) but I will lose the ability to do homebrew.

In my case. If I update through the internet, will the game work right away?

Edit: Btw, thanks for all the help. I really do appreciate it.

it will likely work right away yes....but to warn you, i have no hardmod experience....so i cannot guarantee there won't be wiikey conflicts with your other non-original games.... (although Ninty's updates have only been aimed at the softmodders AFAIK)

but if i were you, i would install the latest HBC first (at the very least)

either way, you won't lose the ability to homebrew, but it will save a headache later if you were to ever want to get into modding (installing HBC on 4.3 is trickier than whatever you're currently on). once there, it'll stay there; headache avoided....it only takes a minute.

you can do an update via the internet and you should be able to play this immediately afterword. this shouldn't effect your chip, and you can still install hbc on 4.3 if you ever feel the need to. the only thinkg to consider is that you won't be able to play out of region games with your chip after the 4.3 update, but there are ways around that.

I guess I will leave 'update through the internet' as a last resort.

I think it may be prudent for me to update to 4.2u using the soft mode guide? (This way I will retain my HBC I have yet to install and my ability to play off region games).

Or will I only have to update IOS?

(Furthermore, I'm going to assume I can't play Goldeneye online unless I have 4.3u)

Thanks once again. I'm sure this thread will be invaluable to those have similar problems as me.

assumption incorrect...you can't play it without the required IOS....

you can technically stay on whatever your current SM is and just update you IOS'es....

the whole thing would be much much easier if you follow a guide though....

Modmii would probably be the easiest....

Or you could update. First, Install bootmii boot2 using the HackMii Installer.
Then create a backup of your NAND.
When your done, use the HackMii Installer to install HBC
Then, Download DOP-MII through HBC and download System menu 4.2X
X= E if you have an european wii, U for an NTSC-U (USA/Canadian/Mexican) wii, J for a Japanese wii and K for a Korean Wii.

Then you should be able to play

Because time is of the essence, I decided to jump the gun and just update through the internet.

Good news. No brick. Golden eye works. All my old back-ups work. I have not tried off-region back-ups yet.

I think, although i haven't tried it out being as i don't have a mod chip and i'm still on 3.2, that just changing the region using regionfrii should work for out of region games with 4.3. enjoy goldeneye.
