Hacking Wiikey Update finally released

[sidneyyoung]

@ jalaneme ....try reading the readme

 

[SeanoRLY?]

*sigh*

Now we just need a chip for one of those un-moddable boards on the new Wii's atm so I can chip mine and stop spending money! D:

 

[jalaneme]

ah whatever, i'm fed up trying to explain my troubles here anyway.

 

[aZnXrAvEr]

I have an unmodded Wii v3.0. If I install a wiikey and I update it to this new version, will it work?

 

[sidneyyoung]

@ jalaneme.. your problem is you cannot directly boot GC imports, correct ??

This new update does indeed support direct booting of GC imports both backup and original according to it's feature list.

But if you read the 'readme' you will see that this feature need to be activated by the 1.3 config disc.

Ok so even with this there are still problems. This wiikey sucks, i bought a wii for wii games, not to play gamecube games on my wii. We had region free which did its purpose beautifully. We need a region free wii backup compatibility!!

 

[Arm73]

What kind of problems ?
Can you mention a few ?

I went trough the update and everything seem fine.
Is there a list of non working GC games anywhere ? I remember there was a Wiki page with GC games that required an audiofix, but I could be wrong...
Anyway somebody should start a compatibility chart I think.

where can I find 1.3 config disc?
I can only find 1.2

I can only find 1.2

As it's already been said, this is a leaked update. When the final version comes out, it'll include the 1.3 config disc.

That's saying all current Wii modchips suck. I don't think people are actually thinking these chips can do full region free. There's people hoping for it but there still is a lot of room for doubt.

Yeah I would also like to see someone list some problems. I'm having no problems at all.

 

[Opium]

Nice to know something is actually released finally. Even if it is a leak. Today is a cold day in hell.

 

[Spikey]

For those having problems booting Naruto GNT4(or another Japanese game), use GCOS.

Works fine with the legit original copy via a disc swap.

 

[Gitaroo]

does the region free and all other option from the 1.2 config disc save on version 3?

 

[dsbomb]

All I can say is, to you folks constantly saying the Wiikey team has no update, is never making an update, etc, HA!

But, maybe this will get them to hurry their wheels a bit more and come out with the update and config disk this week. Then again, their website (wiikey.cn) says this article was posted "08-09-03," so maybe we'll see it next year...

 

[Tripp]

Cool...

Now if someone would leak the rest of it...

 

[Monkey01]

Wow... It finally is 'soon' now?
Does look quite unprofessional though, with the girl underwear, the 666 version number 08-09-03 news post date...
And why the hell did wiikey.cn update so quickly, 'wiikey' and 'quickly' don't belong together...

I used 1.2 to turn Region-Free on thinking it turned it off.It keep staying on Off for some reason.
Any ideas?

The settings menu always shows the dafault settings, the currently setted settings are unreadable for stealth reasons, otherwise Nintendo could read the settings too to easily detect the modchip.
It does seem you need a real 1.3 setup disk for the new update though, so it's best to wait a few months more for that I guess.

 

[Seraph]

This leaked update isn't the official final release though is it? With the screenshots earlier, I wouldn't think those pics and version numbers were from the Wiikey team.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

no, its not official. wiikey.cn says it is the beta release and will work but it hasnt been fully tested and doesn't come with the configuration or recovery discs

 

[Critical_Impact]

Knowing Wiikey they'll spend the next 3 months trying to create a new firmware that stops people who have upgraded to the beta firmware from using it and that'll get leaked and they'll never actually release anything offically.
I mean my god, It really can't take that long just to beta test, it's been like months and nothing at all has come out of Wiikey and when something does finally get released its a leaked version
