Nah i think it will be fine because the disc will have a different 'name'
Maybe all GC homebrew doesn't work, i haven't tested.



So have you tried an NTSC game disc yet in the "faulted" Wii's?



Yeah i have, works fine.

I agree. I'm not too freaked, because the Wii is so cheap. My xbox 360, on the other hand, well, that will be interesting for me come next year's update. Now that will be a costly exercise, although not as bad now adays, since the price has dropped.


ozmodchps: Have you tried updating the console again? I'm curious to know what happens beyond the new warning message for the updates.

how about if you burn a copy of the disc and give it a different label/name? would that work? worth a try?

Hi guys,

Well - unfortunately, I updated my Wii this evening, before I found out .

I initially had an NTSC copy of Super Paper Mario in the drive. It was working/playing just fine, I didn't even think about it. I additionally tried to use the Wiikey disc. It doesn't work. Confirmed. You'll get an error message.

I guess my Wii is toast :\

I have read reports on gbatemp.net (the thread is massive over there) that other popular mod config discs wont work either. I.e. cyclowiz update disc

I guess its actually a good thing that the the wiikey team has delayed the update.

guys, the update doesn't detect the WiiKey itself. it apparently detects the WiiKey disc.

so if you update your Wii to 3.0e, don't use the WiiKey setup disc, until a solution is found.

"toast", as in the Wiikey disc no longer works. You can't boot the wii-key bootloader anymore. All games still work fine. That said, I'd take a hint from ozmodchips and just let the situation cool off, before trying anything...

Yeah, thanks, I just insert Super Paper Mario, and the Wii is like "error, eject disc"





Joking...


Hahaha. Yay, it works! I'm just not going to try the boot disc at all.


I think Wii's are safe. I can't imagine Nintendo pulling off a Microsoft and tracking what people are playing. I seriously think it's based on some sort of code that detects the setup of the various modchip boot discs. And yes, I reacon that bloody update for the Wiikey we've all been waiting for will be delayed into early next century!

Wait... why are people putting in their wiikey config disc into their consoles to begin with? (I mean after the initial configuration)

@ Coffeeboy:

Personally, I just like the fact that I can get additional copies of my games in case something happens to the first one. I've hated the way disc's are loaded into the wii ever since the first video IGN had cassimisina (i'll never spell that right) showing how to load wii discs. I always feel uneasy putting a disc in (anything) and hearing a noise that wasn't there before (which happened the first time I put strikers in, after putting in wii sports)
