Wii #0330 - Super Mario Galaxy (USA)

[HyperShadow]

Thanks to everybody's advice I've revised my plan for SMG:

[Current situation: PAL wii 3.0E with wiikey 1.9g updated]

1. Wait til I can update my PAL wii to 3.1E (go to my mate's house tomorrow)

2. Download SMG (done), extract iso and burn. No regionfrii, no brickblocker.

3. Insert disc, start SMG update, unplug at 10%.

4. Restart wii. Play SMG.

5. Mid-November, download PAL SMG and run PAL update.


Is there anything I'm missing out ?(still not too sure whether regionfrii should or shouldn't be used)

Don't forget to apply the brickblocker to the 2nd copy.

Ah! I knew there was something!
Thanks!!

This should work for anyone on pal 3.0e....make wiikey update says reset galaxy after its done

1) Download the game.
2) Patch the game with RegionFrii and burn it.
3) Launch the game and run the update. Unplug the Wii at about 10-15%.
4) Repatch the game (who is already patched with RegionFrii) with Brickblocker and burn it again.
5) Launch the game patched with RegionFrii and Brickblocker and play !


Theres no reason why it wouldn't work if you do this

Done this but for 3.1E, worked a charm, ta, no duplicate channels (am using WiiKey 1.9g, RegionFrii 1.21 and WiiBrickBlocker 1.3). Was worth the 5 day wait to play this, absolute brilliant game, even has Super Mario Brothers - World 8 music at the beginning ... class

I just used the "Swap Trick", no problem, so I start the Brickblocked version and the game boots! YAY SMG!!
Everything seems to work just fine, I create a save file, se the intro and can finally controll Mario. But when the second "Scene" comes the game freeze..Then it stays frozen for 10 sec and the screen fade to black...
I think Ive burned this wrong :S

I did what I always to with my wii games, I burn them at a dvd-r with Nero at 4x speed..WHY DOES IT FREEZE!?

Btw: I havent tried it since it froze since the wii is on my brothers room and he just trew me out...

"yes I thought it should be 3.1u but mine did the update and it says 3.0u is there a way to force the update? I do not have my wii connected to the net.."

That's crazygman from afterdawn forums, does the game update your Wii or not?

@ Jokiz

What is the "swap trick"?

 

[mooyah]

Played for a few hours and completed the first.. constellation?.. well the first group of stages.. and its so gooood! Like Mario 64 and Sunshine there's a main hub area leading to all the stages. There less stars per stage than in the past (8 I think it was it in 64?) so there are probably a crapload more stages. There's so much variety in them too from the looks to the design and how you're made to get through to the end each time.

Best game on the Wii for sure

weirdly , turns out either my wiikey nuked itself or just some dodgy connections. Put a new wiikey in (this was my first Wii i ever modded, it was shoddy - glad i expertly have done it now) and all seems fine.

Glad it worked out for ya squirrel

i just ran the update on the disc over my pal 3.1E wii since i already had the duplicate channels. Anyways, all went well and it reckonized the game. But when i start the game it just shows a black screen and then hangs... only way to turn it off is by pulling the plug.

Metroid Prime 3 USA still works though, so its definitly a SMG backup thing. any suggestions?

Heh well since I can't run the 1.3 config I can't change my drive speed, and this is apparently a problem during FMV sequences in Mario. Or there's a problem with my burner, because old burned games are working fine and I can't do a thing with mario other than play to the first FMV...then the DRE hits me. But updating went fine. The 1.9g firmware seems to have slight difficulty recognizing my Verbatim DVD-R copies of SMG as well for some reason though likes Taiyo Yudens.

This game is freakin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cragski56]

done everything and still getting 001 error not got a clue what could be wrong burn multiple copies and still no joy not a newbie so really stuck on this one help plz

 

[omgwtfbbqq]

Well i dont mind waiting for PAL release, because:

1. No chance of semi-bricking my Wii. That means: no duplicated channels or no fcked up wii settings menu.

2. Ill start the game 2 weeks after you, that means more playtime for me, hehe

 

[Leoking]

Super Mario Galaxy will work on mine NTSC-JP + Wiikey 1.9g???

 

[blueskies]

WOO I've only played SMG for 5 seconds but it's already awesome because it's working now!! Hooray for wiikey and openwii (their website anyway.. code doesn't run smg yet)!

I don't have a smg disc yet. Has my system been updated? there are no sings of update on it. can u guys help me please?

 

[Shinji1989]
