Please help me! What am I doing wrong? I installed the wiikey 1.9s update no problem, with the latest wii firmware, then tried to use the config disc, but everytime i get an error that tells me to eject the disc and restart.... I have also tried filechopping the disc. I am just trying to play my original brawl disc. But every time it says that it cannot be read! please help! What can I do? I am burning tdk dvd+r discs, and burning them at 4x speed (I have a fairly new $50 LG drive, but whenever i try to burn slower it just ignores me and burns at 4x....) If there is any more info needed plz ask!!!

what does brawl say? 001 error? are you definately sure you installed 1.9s (let it update twice, first it does a test then the real update) and you have the latest config disc burnt to a dvd?

it says the disc cant be read, and shows a big "?" i do have the latest 1.9s installed, and the config disc is one of my problems. i have burned it at 4x, both filechopped and not filechopped. Do i need to GCOS it or somtin?

You have faulty Wii. Open it and clean the laser. Your wii clicks three times, right?

You have to open the wii and then remove these screws:

ok i went i tried it, i cleaned the laser with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol, but now it still has that same error, but instead of 3 clicks it makes about 7 rapid clicks when i put the brawl disc in. i also tried putting in a backup of "the monkey king" in and it worked

well because wiikey has a problem with the original brawl disc, so maybe it could be a wiikey flash or something.

I have the original brawl too and i had the same problem. I updated to 1.9s (which you have also) and it got fixed. you might want to try the 1.9s config disc

    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!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
