WiiKey update 1.9g released

[ricadoe]

I've never updated my wiikey before. I heard we need to use gamecube remote controller in order to update the wiikey 1.9g. Is it true? Can i just use the wiimote controller?

You can press the reset button instead of using an GC controller

I'm curious about the update trick. After you do it, does the game ask to update again when you power on, or does it believe the update succeeded?

And to use the reset button, do a short press to move down the list of options, and a long press (2 or 3 seconds) to activate the current option.

nope you dont need a gamecube controller, i posted a few posts back on this one. once you load the program it says "press A or reset" if you don't have a cube controller on hand, just press the reset button on your wii itself. works like a champ

It believe the update succeeded, what would be the point if it didn't?

my understanding of the trick you're talking about, is that you get 2 copies of the game. One without any modification, and one with brickblocker (removes the update).

insert the non-modified disc and start the update, power down the console at 10-15% and then use the brickblocker one to actually play the game.

not sure where i'm going, but i'm assuming that you need the brickblocker one because it DOESN'T believe it succeeded, however it puts enough of the update on the system to trick the game to play anyway. i dunno i'm confused and tired trying to do my part

Thanks for your reply. Sorry in case you have posted it earlier? Have u updated ur wiikey already? Is ur smg working? Any double channel?

 

[Hogmeister]

yeah i updated my wiikey a bit ago, worked like a charm.

haven't had a chance to try SMG yet though, but as far as the double channels thing goes i wouldn't get them anyway, i have a NTSC-U wii. sorry mate

By the way do you still need GCOS for booting the config disc 1.3? Do you need to run regionfrii over the brickblocked iso is region free is turned off?

 

[no1r]

How do you update ?

when i burn the pal iso on a dvd and put it in my wii,
the wii didn't find any dvd.

when i fake the filesize of the pal.iso with filechop.
wii see's a GC dvd and when i press start, there's only a black screen O.o

 

[Hogmeister]

no1r in your case, i believe you need to turn on regionfree in your wiikey using the wiikey config disc 1.3 that was released around the same time the 1.9b upgrade was posted.

but i COULD be wrong, i'd be willing to bet thats what it is though from everything i was reading about it

I don't know why people bother asking this...The only time you should worry about updates on a game disc is if you are playing a game from a different region. NTSC/US Wii's can take the SMG update without any sort of "15%" shit, just like it's a retail disc.

I also think it's interesting that people would say things like "suck on that nintendo!" when you are playing a Nintendo product, and probably the biggest game of the year. I'd expect that phrase on an xbox or ps3 forum... :\

But that's just me.

Despite all that, I'm glad the wiikey update is here

 

[NoNameFace]

oh yeah~ the new wiikey firmware works!!!!

tested on my jpn wii with 3.1j firmware with jpn smg.

Nice Said!!!

got the same problem as no1r. Maybe its because I still have Wiikey 1.2 installed. Do I need to do an upgrade to 1.3 and then another uprade to 1.9b in order to install 1.9g? Because there is no setup disc for 1.9b available

Wonderful update, works perfectly. Well done to the wiikey guys.

Same question... do i need to upgrade the 1.3 config and 1.9b before I upgrade to 1.9g?

I'll mirror the Wiikey update on my server for those who need it.

Dammit please tell me what am I doing wrong? I also cannot install the 1.3 firmware. The Wii won't recognize the disc!
I just burned the image for my PAL Wii on a DVD with Nero (of course as an image)
