Renesis-C said: 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)



Well, I guess people are trying to run the emulators or media players homebrew through the Wiikey boot disc. I haven't run mine since when I first installed the chip. For some odd reason I could get the homebrew software to work with my TV, like it was designed for plasmas or something...

Ultimately guys, I think the new version of the Wii OS/firmware is actually reading the lead-in and TOC of the Wiikey bootloader/bootstrap. In order for the dudes at Wiikey to get around it, I'll wager they'd need to change the way the disc image initialises and then loads the Wiikey config environment. To say this, isn't that hard. In practice? Not so sure. We'll wait and see. For time being, I guess the summary is this...

1. My wii still works.

2. All internet/Wiiconnect24 services still work

3. ALL games still work (even really new ones, such as Strikers Charged and Mario Party 8)

4. The wiikey bootloader disc DOES NOT work.

Hopefully those wiikey guys come through with the goods for us, eventually!

Umm Im sooooo confused over Ozmodchips panic comments gets his info from trying it on one wii..... I got my mate mywiisites here telling me that his wii works after updating his wii to 3.0... so the question i wanna ask... is have u tried to install the wiikey before u update to the 3.0???
Prob this will be the case as with mywiisites.... just install the wiikey then do the updates....
I dont understand y the panic if this has not been tested yet???

And if theres a big prob with this then just dont update as simple as that, until people do more test about it.

You can still access the wiikey config disc, I have just tried it. You need to boot GCOS, and then swap discs.

No panic mate, but if something is happening, wouldn't you rather NOT upgrade now? Do you really need a digital clock on your wii dashboard?
Didn't think so

Well, it's hard not to update for a lot of people, especially if they are after VC games, since you can't access the Wii Shop Channel without the update. I think a little paranoia has gone on tonight, which is always normal with consoles when it comes to updates and modchips. I think it will blow over and this problem will not be as bad as we make out.

Hey everyone,

I just had a customer email me back saying his Wiikey config disc won't work. And I remember him having a digital clock on his dashboard that I hadn't ever seen before. I'll let him know how to get around it.

This isn't anything serious yet, but I think it is a signal that Nintendo are taking steps toward stopping modding in a serious way. Especially with the release of the new d2c chips.

One more thing i just though off.... cant u just format ur wii and bring it back to its original form.... and then just dont update till they fix the probs.... just use Wiibricker program to get rid off the updates on the games n ur home free...
Only thing to test is that if formating it will wipe all and let u start from scratch... any volunteers to try...??

Welcome to the normal. Paranoia is always normal with current gen consoles and mods and updates. As I said before, I don't think there's nothing major to worry about. Geez, I only posted the news of this update about 4-5 hours ago. Let's see what happens...
