Wii #0330 - Super Mario Galaxy (USA)

[theman69]

FINALLY!!!

 

[enigmak]

Now we PAL users just have to wait for our release. Should be here soon.


What do you mean? The PAL update is in the .rar file too. The NTSC Mario Galaxy should work on PAL wii's too. In fact, I'm about to test it.

About the Wiikey update, it's 40MB, should one burn it to DVD or CDROM?

| |
| Flashing the update |
| ------------------- |
| The update ISO is located in update/wkupdate.1.9b.xx.iso, where |
| xx responds to a region, ie us, jap, or pal. To burn the image |
| to a DVD-R, it should first be padded as many DVD recorders will |
| not burn the image in its original size correctly. This can be |
| by executing the following command (assuming you are in the |
| update/ directory): filechop.exe wkupdate.1.9b.xx.iso 1459978240 |
| where xx corresponds to your region. This will create a 1.4GB |
| image which can be recorded using Image Burner or other software.|
|


That is what was included in the last firmware release, so DVD it is!

I didn't get it to work.

PAL Wii, with latest 3.1E firmware.
Wiikey with latest firmware, Galaxy fix

I burned the SMG iso untouched to a DVD, then put it in my Wii. Before displaying anything mario galaxy, it asked about an update, which I ran fully. When the Wii rebooted, I got double News and Weather channels, and mario Galaxy as a game was recognised. When I tried to run the game, the screen just went black.

Anyone else? Should I apply brickblocker or regionfrii or something?

Help me out here please.

UPDATE: WORKS ON PAL WII

In addition to my previous attempts, I set the Wii language to English (before it was Dutch, being Belgian). The game works now. I wish all of you good luck!

Wow, 131 pages and the Wiikey team does it. Kinda makes 99% of the thread redundant.

So, what's the game like?

 

[alucard_xs]

it there a way to avoid the channel bug ?
I've got a black screen after wiibrickblockered ... wiinja last firmware.

 

[spiderben25]

I have a Wiikey 1.9g and I only have DVD-RW (not +). Will it work ?

 

[alucard_xs]

well, you can try, it's a dvd-rw so erasable

All those people who dissed the WiiKey are looking a little foolish right now.

 

[QuantumFluxx]

I couldn't be happier to be wrong. I was getting ready to change chips today thinking for sure it was going to be at least a month or two before we get an update.

 

[takuya]

my experience :
PAL Wii 3.1E with wiikey never updated
i do the MP3 trick (switch off the wii at 10% of the SMG update and burn another copy patched with brickbloker)
i got no others channels

update first my wiikey (never been updated since)
i don't change my language in wii settings (French)

Mario galaxy (patched with brickbloker only) just run fine and ... in FRENCH language

my wii settings are not broken
all is perfect !

Holy S***! So a new patch is out for the wiikey, i can tell by reading the posts on this page since i havent followed the thread during the time I was sleeping

I cant reach wiikey.cn så can someone get it on rapidshare o something so I can download the firmware?

Edit: PAL users cant run SMG without getting duplicate channels? If thats true then ill wait for PAL?

 

[Grenader]

Hey there, I don't really know which Wiikey version I have- but I think it is 1.3.

My question is if I have to flash 1.9b first in order to install the new one (1.9g).

Thanks!

All those people who dissed the WiiKey are looking a little foolish right now.

How exactly is that? If I recall correctly, Cyclowiz users had their patch within 24 hours...

 

[Clushje]

WiiKey did it?! Brilliant, well done to them.

 

[Deekman]

New wiikey update worked perfectly for me on my NTSC Wii!

Mario Galaxy may be my new favorite game (that or Zac and Wiki)
