I've reinstalled the clip again. This time I just pushed it on the D2C chip until it sounded "click" then I screw the DVD-rom as ustinov's suggestion. It works again!

I've installed the Wii Clip (with d2ckey), and it works - but only if the Wii case is 'loose'.

Sometimes it can work with the front on, but most of the time that will stop it working, and at some point it was working with the side screws in, but now even that fails - I now play with the case on (held by a single side screw) but front off (classy...

)

[I have taken the case apart many times and can even provoke the failure by tightening the DVD drives 4 mounting screws really tight, a quarter turn looser will prompt it to work again, and have made sure there is no shorting when the drive presses on the clip by using the cut out and sticker on underside (have also tried without these...) tried a bit of padding under the chip extension board too, none of this seems to make a difference]

I'm thinking its either a bending of the chip extension board or the clip getting gently prised off when the drive presses on it at a certain pressure/direction. Is the fact that a small(ish) quarter screw turn can be the difference between it working and failing any indication of the nature of the problem?

Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do to solve it?

Hi There,

Just to update you guys on the status of my Wii-clip installation.
After 5 weeks of moderate use it still works great.
Just to give an indication on how much I played: I've replaced the batteries in my Wiimote twice.

I'm very pleased with my Wii-Clip so far.

Cheers.

no its not upside down, he lightscribed the disc

I know its off topic, but I've been thinking about getting a lightscribe dvd drive to title all my disks. ( I hate the look of a blank disk with
sharpie all over it lol). But I've read in a few places that the lightscribed image fades after a while, can anyone comfirm or bust this?

I'm gonna get me a chip, and I guess I'll go with a clip(after reading this entire thread). Looks like it's the simple way to do it.

Never had that problem personally and I've had one since their release to press:) I have discs over...erm god, 5 or more years old? Ones with my son as a baby printed on the top and they're fine:)

Edit: I also ordered a d2pro solderless clip from OZmodchip, hopefully I'll get it by next week. I'll post how the install and
everything else goes.

Greets everyone...

I was wondering there is a local dealer here who i contacted for buying a wiikey 2 with a wii clip. He asked for my serial and then e-mailed me that i had to get a wiikey 1 because i have a DMS chip. So i checked a other site and there the specs say that the Wiikey 2 is DMS compatible...What should i do? I would think that a updated version is always beter right?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
