okey... Now I have read trough all of the post`s on this topic..
the main things I am wondering on is this:

1. For the wiikey owners, have you mannaged to play SSBB, the Dual Layer DVD version, on your wiikey wii? ( and if yes please do tell me what you did, coz I am scared of the tought that I might do a wrong burn )

2. Wiikey -> Opnewii
What is needed to be done to make a Wiikey to a Openwii ? And is there a good tutorial for how to do it?

3. Future tought: Will future Wii games be on DL DVD`s ?

1. Yes, I downloaded the iso legally backed up my game to an ISO and burnt it using default settings in imgburn, it worked fine first time (2.4x on a Verbatim disc).

2. No clue

3. Very doubtul, dual-layer costs more for companies to make and most wii games so far haven't even used the full size of normal DVD media.

There is no good tutorial. I would be willing to write one if someone donated me a Wiikey Clone. However, I will list the steps.

1. Ensure your computer has a parallel port. Most desktops still have one...
2. Build an SP12 programmer. Instructions are here: http://chiip.descrambler.de/index.php/Programmer
3. If you want to use the quicksolder points, you will have to cut the traces on the Wiikey, and use wire to connect the appropriate points on the IC to the quicksolder points.
4. Program your Wiikey. You will need to work out which pins to connect the programmer to, using the above page and this image: http://www.avrmall.com/ishop/upload/bbs/AT...8_AI_pinout.jpg
You will need to obtain the firmware from the openwii forums - http://openwii.org
5. Solder your Wiikey-OpenWii into your Wii. You will only need to do this once, as OpenWii has had DVD updateability for a while now. (Check http://openwii.org for setup discs and firmware)

I don't care that much. If nintendo didn't put any more security on brawl than they did on Galaxy, then what do you think they're going to do to Mario Kart? Not much...if anything. I'll switch to Wasabi if I'm forced to.

I was also afraid of issues popping up, but thats because I was overdosing on Brawl nostalga. I downloaded House of the Dead, and Bully...and I totally forgot about the issue.

I don't think there will be more protections. SSBB was a very big release for Nintendo, and they definitely would have put new protection on it if they only knew how.

I don't mean to rub it in to anyone, but this whole fiasco is why I bought a clone.

also i wouldn't worry too too much about protection now with trucha signer. i would worry more about trucha signed discs being disabled by a new firmware

When I saw the news I felt like singing! Thank you wiikey team! I never lost hope!

I'm still waiting for a reason why it took so long

LOOK!

My threats worked!

Bruahahahaha....

now we just have to wait for a new firmware...

Ah, I also forgot to mention. If you want an open source mod chip but are technically challenged, you can always buy em pre-made. eurasia.nu stocks YAOSM modchips for cheaper than a wiikey. Although I guess this point is moot since the person this is most relevant too ITT has abandoned serious discussion.


Wonder when we'll see something from wiikey...

You should have read just a few posts up. They have sent beta versions of the new firmware to resellers and the website is back up.

I know about the site. By "we" I meant I wonder when we'll get our hands on an update. I'm not a reseller so I didn't mean resellers by "we".
..although posing as a reseller does sound nice.
