I was under the impression that I could just run brickblocker and regionfri on it then burn it? Someone in that same post said this



That I haven't tried, but I know for sure the long and complicated one works. (Its not really complicated just long).

bobg said:
I've also heard the game should run at 50Hz....not 60 any truth in that??
many thanks mate!



Yep its true. Other wise your just left with a black screen. And for the game to run at full speed you also have to turn off "Deflicker" in the SSBB menu.

SSBB requires the update to run. Without it, it won't work at all. I think it has something to do with allowing the Wii to read Dual Layer discs. quote]
If I my wii has firmware 3.2E and I put in SSBB, if I let the update go through will it brick my wii, or just make duplicate channels? I kinda get that it needs the update from the SSBB disc to be able to run the dual layer disc, but will it be a NTSC version, or regioin free?

No, it won't brick your Wii or duplicate your channels, if you follow the guide in the link I posted on the first page.

EDIT: Seems gbatemp is down for now.

Some chips [I heard] were rendered inoperable, because of Update 1.9g. I'm not 100% sure though.

You are infact correct. Some peole had problems re=flashing their chips when the 1.9g come about.Some people didn't test flash and they went right ahead and flashed their chip. What they didn't realise is there was a recovery disc to help with this and in some cases it did help fix the problem but in other cases the wiikey was buggered for a better word. .
Also thetre was the whole wiikey clone issue aswell which didn't help.

I just did the update. My backups all seem to be working fine, except Prime 3, which had some trouble reading at first and had a disc read error at the title screen, but I just had to reinsert the disc and it was fine.

Did it work correctly, coz I updated my wiikey last night and also paid for a copy of Brawl from play-asia ($58 all up! I got a 10 off voucher that I used...).
If so that means I can play it next week!!!! YAYAYAYAYYAYAAYAAYAY!

What do you mean by flashing? When I updated the wiikey, all i did was put the disc in, then it said to test and then run the updater...was that right?
EDIT: Just remembered-Do you have to turn off the update blocker?

Yeah you did it right, don't worry about it. Nah, I don't think you should turn on update blocker if your going to start up Brawl for the first time.

Thanks for the reply.
Good stuff about not needing a GC Controller.

Would I be able to use the disk dumper if I ran config disk 1.2 then? Would the new features of 1.4 config disk still be enabled if I ran the 1.2 config disk when i needed to use the disk dumper?

I think from memory yes. Even try the 1.3 install disc (Not that it matters) But yer you should be right if you use the 1.2 disc for your dumper, cant see a problem there.

Must be why they havnt relased the cfg discs on wiikey.cn yet, still addin that feature mabey!

Wiikey.cn has posted they will release the new Config Discs on the 28th. So you should just wait for the final ones instead.

Also found something interesting:

Wiinewz said:"The Wiikey Team has done an early release of update version 1.9s after "beta testers" leaked information to other sites after being asked not to. This will likely be the last update for the chip."



I doubt it though.

Yeah like LiveToRide said, I don't really see why it wouldn't work.

How do you find out which firmware version your wiikey is at? Does it say when you put in the config disk?
