Wii Hardware \ Wiikey Update.. 1 week or 2?

annirowe says:

Guys just a quick note to let you all know that I would expect to see the latest Wiikey update (V1.6) released within the next week or two.

Now I could be wrong based on on Wiikey's past performance but sources close to wiikey are saying that They are testing a final release and unless bugs are found then it will be released.

Fingers crossed!

They've been testing this update since way before the 17th August.

I will not be holding my breath for, as I have learned in the past.

After the two week mark then please attack me for giving crap info. But I have a feeling we will see it under two weeks!

The Gamecube streaming audio fix is one thing that most people seem to want. Also possibly the ability to read dual layer DVDs.

As far as I am concerned, my WiiKey currently works great so I am happy regardless If they do release the much awaited updated tho I will probably upgrade my wiikey....

I'd only buy Wiikey or any other modchips if they have 100% region free compatibility for cube and Wii games (even if it's not updateable).

anshie says:

ok this is gonna sound weird but i have noooo idea what a wiikey or modchip is

ricky says:

Let's just say it lets you play games for free, but it's illegal.

I doubt that will happen as I understand it, the limitation for region free is not the modchip, but rather the game implementation. Hence why some games work and some don't.

ricky says:

@ lombers:

Yes, basically from what I know and from what you've read 100% Region Free Compatibility is near impossible using the current method. But who knows, in the future they might come up with another 'exploit' that will allow it to happen.

i pulled out my wiikey coz my dvd drive has started acting up (the usual clicking noise, ejecting discs, grinding, etc.). it is still sitting on my desk, don't know when i'll work on the Wii again to troubleshoot.

08/22/2007 Freedom is not free, many have paid for it with their lives...

Arrrggghhh. Modchips are NOT illegal in Australia! Hehe.

Hmm, don't know about that one jac33au. You mean the Nintendo made Wii games from America that don't work in our PAL Wii's (like Mario Party 8 and so on).
