Hey viscera,

Brickblocker won't remove the channels, sorry. If you apply the brickblocker patch, the game won't run!

All hail Ninty, and their extremely annoying copy protection!


For PAL owners, the process for not having duplicate channels with SMG is the same as it was for MP3 (it would appear everyone has forgotten there were three steps)

a) Ensure you are patched to 3.1E via either online or using the MP3 Pal release.

b) Region patch the SMG backup to PAL. Burn to DVD. Do not apply brickblocker. Insert the game and allow SMG to apply patch to approx 10% then pull the power cord. When you reboot there will not be duplicate channels.
(If you do not yet have a compatible modchip the SMG logo will not appear in the game channel. Simply select the channel and then the after a short pause you will be asked if you want to update. After 10% pull the power).

c) Apply BrickBlocker to a new PAL patched SMG. Burn to another DVD. Now because there is partial info about the 3.1U firmware somewhere on your 3.1E Wii it will now boot the PAL patched SMG backup without trying to update.

----

I have already completed the steps above ready for when openwii or wiikey (which can be run on openwii) release a modchip firmware patch. I do not have duplicate channels and I am now able to see the SMG channel, open it, hear Mario's intro voice, then get the famous "001" black screen error.

To recap, it is possible to perform a partial update to a PAL Wii and NOT get duplicate channels.

I've pal wii fw3.0e. i've not internet connection so i've tried to update to fw3.1e with metroid prime 3pal..but there isn't the update to 3.1e fw!!!

guys plz help me i need to know what modchip i have before i take any action to play mario how do i find out (other than opening the wii)

i want to know if i have an updateable chip or not. i want to play mario



Well, one thing you can do to narrow it down is to burn the wiikey setup disc and load it up to see if it recognizes your wiikey (if that's what it is) If it is NOT a wiikey then you are going to have to take it apart. (which isn't really that difficult so I don't know where the issue is)

what version of the set up disk shud i use? for a chip i got in july 2007

Hey all those people have just now registered to tell us the MP3 trick worked,
hopefully its not the same person trying to brick some wiis of the people beliving them.

Shall I upload a video to show you that it works?

 

[biscuit]

NO. What we need is someone with a cyclowiz to try it and confirm the MP3 trick works.
i.e. game actually plays.

 

[Clushje]

i did the update thing on PAL, and i cannot acces my wii settings menu again.
I was on fw 2.2 and use wiikey.
I let the progress bar run till about 10-15%.

No dub channels tho.

Does anyone know if mario galaxy pal update is gonna fix my settings menu ?

I hope it does.

And next time you need to remember to have the latest firmware on your Wii before trying any new game :/

Brilliant, just brilliant. Did you bother to check my joined date?

ok, just trying to help

ddrrmm: Your settings menu is probably screwed because you didn't have the newest version (3.1E) of the Wii's software when you updated till 10%. I think Galaxy tries to update to 3.0U. So if you're above or at 3.0E you are safe, if you're under it, then your settings menu will be screwed because it installs the settings to a different location. This won't happen in 3.0E or above because is doesn't install the new settings because you already have the new settings menu.

Why would you need that? The black screen that you get when you don't use the MP3 trick is just the game, that freezes. Just like MP3. The hardware not authorized (or whatever) error has to be prove enough that it works

iv been asleep for the past few hours

has there been a breakthrough in getting it to work on wiikey useing mp3?

 

[ddrrmm]

thanks jespertje.
hope i can fix this with the next update =[

bedankt man

edit: since i was on 2.2E could i still perform an update to 3.0E and am i good to go again then?

 

[jespertje]

Graag gedaan!

Re: If you wait till the PAL release of Mario Galaxy you have a good change that works. I think mario Galaxy is the first game to have 3.0E.

No, just for pal users to show that the mp3 trick doesn't give you dubble news and weather channels, but does start the game, ony on wiikey it gives you the #001 error

APPOLOGY

Sorry to all I have doubted.

I have a cyclowiz and didn't want the channels duplicated.

I finally grew the balls to try it (the MP£ trick).

IT WORKED.

I WAS WRONG.

I'M SORRY.

Wii settings accessible. NO semi brick.

Cheers, off to play it now

 

[chaseincats]

gah alright

 

[Willemoke]

uploaded a movie of super mario galaxy trick, no dubble channels, but I have a wiikey, so I do get the error, I think it will be playable at a pal version some day.\
