Gaming Who can't get the Mario Kart Channel to install?

[boxhunter91]

I got PAL Wii and update wasnt required just something about saved.

Had the same problem, like a few others here, but I sorted things out.
I have a pal wii 3.2e with wiikey 1.9s FW installed.
The problem is not a network issue. It's simply the scrubbed release, so...

IF YOU CAN'T INSTALL THE MARIO KART WII CHANNEL (aka blackscreen) ON YOUR PAL WII, DOWNLOAD THE UNSCRUBBED/UNCOMPRESSED FULL RELEASE AND BURN IT. IT WILL WORK 100%!!!

Im downloading atm...Iv got a pal wii with d2ckey...When its done ill try it with that..see how that goes.
Ill let ya know when im done

I tried to install that shit with the scrubbed release like 30+ (seriously!) times and it didn't work. Got the black screen and the light in the wiimote turned off.
So I downloaded the full unscrubbed release and tried to install with that --> Tadaa! First try - success!
The screen went black for a moment and the light in the wiimote turned off again too, so I pressed A, B or whatever it was and some window popped up. Surely not because I pressed A, B etc.. I was just pissed at that point lol.
Good luck, but I expect it to work 100%, because it worked for some friends of mine aswell this way

I can confirm this working! The scrubbed DVD didn't let me install the Mario Kart Wii channel on my PAL Wii, no matter which speed I burned the game with. Downloaded the full untouched release, burned it 4x on a Verbatim DVD -R and it installed it with the first try. Works like a charm now! I love my Mario Kart Wii channel

my download has finished...Installed the game onto a tkd-r disc...worked perfectly!! no problems with running the game and playing it from the cd. Connected to online play and had a play around.

Only issue is that when i try and install the MK wii channel it hangs for a few seconds then the screen goes completly black. I can still hear the disc going 100000 miles an hour tho. Im gna try it again later on to see what happens..

btw i have a pal wii with d2ckey installed, and the game works fine.

Can anyone please not on topic get the fuck out? God...

Anyways, Full up-to-date Wii here, Wii key latest version and I cannot install the channel either. Black screen and reset is the only way here too. I heard that the server might be busy/offline right now or something though.

I thought it was a server thing, too ... but have been told it isn't ... though, the match-making server is currently offline.

Weird... did you use the scrubbed version? Because I did.

Nope.

I don't want no scrubs ... scrubs are games that don't get no love from me ...

It did install for me, but took me approx. 12 attempts to get it to install.

 

[tW34k]

Really? Ok, thanks.

I can't get the Channel to be installed either (because I got the scrubbed version). Please can someone try to put the channel onto an SD card and post it on the net so I can place in on my Wii menu.

Many thanks

used the non scrubbed version and it installed first try

however when i launch it from the menu it says "this channel cannot be used"

im in USA but that should be a prob right?

 

[tredes]

the only way to get the channel to install problem free is to download an unscrubbed version of the game (a complete iso which has been un edited and not compressed in any way)Burning this at any speed should allow you to install the mk channel without any errors at all.!

Alternatively, if you have got the scrubbed one, then download the patch that appeared on usenet etc. yesterday. About 32Meg in size and adds back the missing partition data.

I tried this but it still didn't work

I think Tredes is right....

"the only way to get the channel to install problem free is to download an unscrubbed version of the game"


I like the game so much I'm going to buy it tomorrow from ASDA


******EDIT******
I transferred the Mario Kart Wii Channel here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8NL7P7A6

If you have an SD card you can download the channel and put it onto your Wii.

Let me know if it works

sio,

Is this channel you put PAL or NTSC ?

lexith: This thread is almost a year old. I'm pretty sure sio isn't going to reply.

If you're having problems installing the mariokart channel my suggestion would be to open up the mariokart iso with wiiscrubber and remove the .wad file from the third partition. If you no longer have the iso, you can extract the wad using ftpii from the retail or backup disc and then use wadmanager to install the .wad file.

Since it's an officially signed wii channel, it shouldn't matter what version your wii is when you install it.
