Gaming Super Smash Bros Brawl (USA) PAL guide

[rodak]

I don´t take any credit for this information, this is just a "Copy and Paste" from different post around here.
All the credit should go to the original posters.

1. Download Trucha Signer 0.21 http://www.ingenieria-inversa.cl/files/trucha021.rar

2. Download RegionFrii 1.21 http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=722

3. Download Ultraedit http://www.ultraedit.com/

4. Unzip everything and put them into a central directory.

5. Open up the "wiikeyset.reg" that came with the Trucha Signer in UltraEdit and find the section:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wii\KeySet\2]

"name"="Custom KeySet 1"
"boot1 key"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"common key"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"sd key"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"sd iv"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"md5 blanker"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

6. Open the key.bin file in UltraEdit and make sure you are in hex mode (Ctrl-H).
* key.bin (You need to find it and download it for yourself, can´t link to this file)
Google it! It will have an MD5 of 8D1A2EBCD82A3469B77FACF15D9C8E50

7. Replace the "common key" line...

"common key"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

...with the contents from key.bin. For example, if key.bin contained AABBCCDDEEFFAABBCCDDEEFF11223344, you'd enter...

"common key"=hex:AA,BB,CC,DD,EE,FF,AA,BB,CC,DD,EE,FF,11,22,33,44

8. Save the "wiikeyset.reg" file and activate it by double clicking on it. Click "Yes" to add it to the registry.

9. Start Trucha Signer and Select KeySet->Custom KeySet 1

10. Click Image->Open ISO and load SSBB ISO

11. Expand DISC->PARITION (RELSAB)->ROOT

12. Right click __update.inf and select extract to file (save it to your desktop and then delete the file)

13. Download Prophets modified __update.inf http://www.filefactory.com/file/6672f5

14. Right click __update.inf in Trucha and select Replace and browse for Prophets ProphSSBB.inf

IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE THE 001 ERROR AND CHANGE VIDEO MODE, READ AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST!

15. Right click PARTITION (RELSAB) and select Trucha Sign It! (do the same to PARTITION (RSBE01) just to be sure)

16. Close Trucha and start Regionfrii.

17. Load the SSBB Iso and select New Region->PAL (Default) and click Update ISO

18. Download and install ImgBurn http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download

19. Start up ImgBurn and go to Tools->Settings...->Write->Layer Break->User Specified and enter 2084960

20. Burn the game to a DVD+R DL

21. Insert the disc in your Wii and if it asks to update let it update 100%

22. Enjoy Brawl on your PAL Wii without dual channels


Additional info for some users:

Remove the 001 Error and Change Video Mode:
Do this between step 14 and 15.

1. Go into the second partition PARTITION (RSBE01), extract the main.dol

2. Open main.dol with bailli tool and hit "Remove 001" and hit "NTCS-2-PAL" then hit SAVE. if you do not hit save, it wont fix it.

3. In trucha signer, right click the main.dol that you just extracted, hit replace and replace it with your new modified main.dol

4. Right click the partition in trucha signer and resign the partition

G'day Rodak,

first thanks for a good post
second if you get time people are having trouble with black screen.
from what i can see this is the hz issue.
might be worth adding:

First boot of SSBB change wii screen settings to 50hz
once it has loaded up, turn off deflicker
then change wii screen settings to 60hz
when SSBB loads up it will have up to a minute of black screen, but be patient will come back.


Cheers.

Thank you all that posted all this information and I hope you don´t mind that I collected it all in one post.
Hope this will help a lot of confused ppl

WII Video Changer can be added.

 

[gotissues]

Is this just to avoid double channels?
I already gotten the japanese ones so i wont mind to have 2 more american channels.
Or is this to make sure the USA version works? (as in it doesnt works without these modifications)

Why? The game is working in 576i, 480i and 480p PAL Wii

If you don´t mind 2 more channels then follow this guide from step 16 and forward if you dont get the 001 error in SMG

I have much easier. Works on my PAL Wiikey (latest software both Wii and Wiikey)

1 - Use RegionFrii on the ISO
2 - Use Brickblocker
3 - Burn ISO with Nero (I did no layerbreak)
4 - Put game in Wii.


No install needed, no double channels.

 

[Gandolf]

Is this working with the Argon chip?

 

[Digeman]

Will try out right now! Thank god somebody made a stepbystep guide thread for all us lazy tempers!

 

[rodak]

Is this working with the Argon chip?

I belive it does, you can try and tell us for sure. It´s only 5$ (30SEK) for a DL disk

Gonna try it. Just 10 minutes left of the download.

What do you mean by "without dual channels" ?
I dont understand, if we remove the update how the 2nd layer can be read by the Wii ?

6. Open the key.bin file in UltraEdit and make sure you are in hex mode (Ctrl-H).

What key.bin file? That step came out of nowhere.

Since burning the game obviously didnt work for my PAL Wii Cyclowiz, will buying the USgame work?

You forgot to tell how to remove the protection (001 error).

You forgot to tell how to remove the protection (001 error).

Ok, i did not do anything to remove it, works with D2CKEY, is it something you have to do to get it working with other mods?
What should i add to the guide?

 

[chrono03]

Jax -

No one knows how to fix that yet... No one even knows why it happens

 

[Viictoriio]

Because of bad media?
Use verbatim dvd+r dl.

and make sure you have 1.9g firmware wiikey.
otherwise edit the main.dol.

Ah here I find the answer to my question from the other SSBB w/o dual channels thread.

So my conclusion:
You can only run a brickblocked copy of the game if you previously updated your console with the JAP version.
(Updated meaning in this case either completely with dual channels, 15% trick or the patched update.inf)

EDIT: If these people how brickblocked their copy directly could please confirm that they already updated using the JAP version?
