Wii #0330 - Super Mario Galaxy (USA)

[Xuphor]

k, now i'm confused.
"If your are correct then i can run super mario galaxy ntsc on my pal wii with wiikey"
"Yes, that's correct. I just did it myself less than an hour ago."

quite frankly, i don't care if my channels duplicate or not, i just want to run mario galaxy. by what is said there, i'm under the impresstion that mario galaxy works on pal wii's with wiikey. is there any reason this trick wouldn't work on ntsc wii's with wiikey?

Ahh sorry about that. I didn't make myself clear in my earlier post. I'm referring to being able to get the game running (up until the detected modchip error screen) while avoiding the duplicate channels. In other words, I'm just saying that the metroid turn off trick works to avoid duplicate channels.

Hi Xuphor,

He did not get it to work just got the error.
But he had no duplicate channles.

He didn't get the game to work..He just got the update included with the game that happens when you first put the game in to not update his PAL wii with NTSC firmware.. Keeping him from, in turn, getting duplicate channels.

edit: after posting this i see i was very late to the draw...

EDIT: Shane got it. And for the record, I don't know how anyone could be confused by this.

Maybe if we inhaled lead fumes for a few weeks straight first.

[Prema]

They most likely tried to do it while not on the latest Wii system firmware. Not having the latest firmware results in corrupt settings. That's already been proven in this thread.

I've updated the news post to reflect the information as we get it.

I apoligise

 

[Shoter350]

i know this doesnt work on Wiikey (YET), however i still HAD to try it out (im sure i wasnt the only one!)

anyways, my dog flips out at the game channel when you hear "Super mario Galaxyyyyyyyyyyy". everytime i play it, my puggle RUNS to the tv and looks at it like she's possessed. funny stuff.

now if only we could play the damn thing, im DYING here!

 

[fenix4o9]

ok sorry

 

[alucard_xs]

Please go on the Wiikey thread !

 

[chaseincats]

where is the wiikey thread?

 

[Opium]

where is the wiikey thread?

here

Now please everyone, no more bitching or random wondering about the Wiikey update in this thread.

 

[fishcatdog]

Yeah especially since it's probably going to take the 6 months to release the upgrade! LoL! Like last time!

I'm so funny, my comments add a lot of value to the thread by creating more useless banter that technical readers have to sift through to find the information that they're looking for!
