Q. Which discs do I need? There's so many.
A. This all depends on 2 main factors - whether you have a GameCube controller - and whether your Wii's firmware is 3.0 or greater.
Q. I have a GameCube controller and my Wii is less than v3.0. What do I need?
A. This is the easiest one to do. Simply download and burn the v1.9s firmware disc for your region (padded preferred) and pop it in your Wii. You can download and burn the v1.4 config disc - but most people don't actually need this - unless you want to change some WiiKey settings.
Q. I have a GameCube controller and my Wii is v3.0 (or greater). What do I need?
A. You need to download and burn the GCOS version of the config disc (v1.3). Run this - and set 'region override' to 'on'. Save the settings back and restart your Wii. Now download and burn the v1.9s firmware disc. Pop this one in - and run it through. You can also download and burn the v1.4 config disc - but most people don't actually need this - unless you want to change some WiiKey settings.
Q. I don't have a GameCube controller and my Wii is less than v3.0. What do I need?
A. Download and burn the v1.9s firmware disc and pop it in. As you don't have a GameCube controller - you need to use the 'reset' button on the front of your Wii. It's a quick tap to move the menu selection - and a longer press to select it. You can also download and burn the v1.4 config disc- but most people don't actually need this - unless you want to change some WiiKey settings.
Q. I don't have a GameCube controller and my Wii is v3.0 (or greater). What do I need?
A. This is where it's gets tricky. You will need to download and burn both the Hex'd and original v1.2 config discs (padded preferred). Firstly, insert the Hex'd disc and wait for it to prompt you to insert the original WiiKey base disc. Remove the Hex'd disc - and insert your other v1.2 disc. Now as you don't have a GameCube controller - you need to use the 'reset' button on the front of your Wii. It's a quick tap to move the menu selection - and a longer press to select it. Use this method to set 'region override' to 'on'. Save the settings and reset your Wii. Now download and burn the v1.9s firmware disc (for your region) and pop it in your Wii. Use the 'reset button' method to update the WiiKey's firmware. You can also download and burn the v1.4 config disc - but most people don't actually need this - unless you want to change some WiiKey settings.
Congratulations - you *should* now have a WiiKey at v1.9s (the latest stable version).
Remember - always use the config/firmware disc for your Wii's region. I take no responsibility for you breaking/bricking your Wii/WiiKey. If you break it - you fix it
