Do research wrtite in forums and try to contact wiikey! WiiConnect is not the problem. He has OpenWii2. With 2. No Problem. Heute, […]. Wiikey 1. My distributor does not answer and WiiKey. Hi guy I just wondering i going to update to 1. Surprisingly, the 1. I did the upgrade to 1. The software update pop it up almost twice but failing to perform the original firmware update.
I don know either if i have a bad connection or a clone, but seems that my dealer is only selling the original stuff. There is a lot of people talking about half of what is really happening, in my particular case is reading just the old dvd,s.
I had try the recovery to 1. I try already reinstalling 1. Try already using the older config disk v1. I believe this is the simple end of the first generation of chips and the next ones will go for about other year, wiikey is taking too much time to responce hopefully this people will post a message saying that there is no more development or sales for this wiikey and the next project will be some other chip.
Next day, i tried playin other backups but none ov them loaded up at all! I can stil play originals its just my backups. Thinkin ov getting a new wiikey now. If any1 solves this problem… plzzzzzzzz do tell! Just wanted to add…. All of my backups on my WiiKey modded D2B chip still work fine, and I have no intention of upgrading my firmware until there is more information out there. Seems the 1. If nintendo starts coding this firmware in all of their games it may mean modders will have to get another chip.
Kinda sucks, but thats the fate of modders until the wii becomes obsolete or updated…. If anyone has anymore details about this, I would really like to read it so I am more prepared when going to update. I heard the following instructions got a few peoples wiikey working again when they stopped reading backups, it worth a try at least anyway:.
Recovering from a bad flash. Please note that this is an emergency procedure which should not have to be performed. If the flashing was interrupted for any reason the chip is left in a state where it cannot operate fully. Burn it with Toast, Image Burner, or cdrecord. Performing the update — Switch on Wii and eject any disc in drive — Insert recovery disc and reset Wii — Wait for at least 3 minutes. Wiikey is very picky about its media when its working, and as the readme says, in recovery mode its even pickier.
It does still play the majority of my backups and plays my emulator disks. I did have a woking backup of mario and sonic at the olympics. Since I have had several recent backups not load at all.
I had a mario party 8 backup and I tried loading it several times. At least my old backups are working for now. This got me my settings menu back which enabled me to perform a Wii system update to 3. Does this make sense? I believe the problem is related to the recognized media, this means that the system update blocked the functions and then the modchip with the latest upgrade finished the job.
Advice to everyone here, you can either get a normal chip without the programmer and get this issues, or use a full mode with a proper reprogramer for this ocations. After reading soo much about we all get the feeling that the modchip might be not original and having this issues cause the upgrade was made for originals only, or maybe there is a missing cable on my case, but i believe this is not a miss configuration or a simple cable not working, this is code guys. I got some extra news, after checking the forums about our serial numbers and chipset versions i found out that some wii.
Nevermind, i understand a little more now after checking that site out. In some cases this pins or no pins might give you issues with certain installations and depending of the generation of console that you have this will show you the right version of mod needed. It has recognized all wiikey updates and when I got it I got online to compare it to known clones and it seemed original. Also, it was shortly after wiikey started packaging with the hologram image on the plastic, which mine did have on it.
I will change to another modchip as soonest is possible cause i believe this wont go any further. Do others like cyclowiz not have similar problems to this? Also, I flashed back to 1. After playing for almost a month, the same disc cannot be recognized anymore. Based on the common symptoms: — The problem exist not straight away after upgrading Wiikey, but quite a while after that.
Other completely no backup. The problem might not come from DVD media, but it could be from Wiikey hardware it self. Slowly after new firmware the Wiikey start to degrade. I have the same issue on a Wii PAL with 1. I try to downgrade to 1. Same prob here, it seems.. Something that may be coincidental… -I had previously burned SMG when it first came out weeks ago, updated the wii and wiikey, had no probz.
I popped it in, and realized that I had indeed burned SMG, and it played fine. That was the last burned disc the wii played. Now it plays only originals, and will not play that same disc or any other burned discs. Well, I reflashed 1. Today I finished making a backup for need for speed pro street. It loaded and also played. Everything else seems to be working fine again. I used the same discs that I had made and previously flashed with.
I try the WiiKey Setup Disc 1. I try both with and without filechop to 1. Anyone have an idea? I just completed the backup for Metroid Prime. Then it said if I had an unauthorized technical modification that the update might render the wii inoperable. This Wii was updated straight from 1.
Only problem is that you need to eject original Wii discs before replaying them, othervise Wii gets jammed. My problem is a bit different. Wiikey worked fine for first few days, then did 1. Worked fine for about a week, then came to play it after being off for a few days, no backups work, drive just clicks, then stops spinning.
Only originals I could get to work are Excite truck and sometimes Carnival. Nothing else works. Limora: I have a wii that has had a wiikey for like 9 months or so. By reflashing, i meant that I ran the 1. This appears to have fixed my problem for now. I do not know if it will be a permenant fix. I am more fortunate than a lot of us who have had issues with this update.
I did buy a complete system in Malaysia which was wiikyed. I also did buy som copied games in the store and they also work fine. I cant access the setup menu any more. What else can I do? I have a WiiKey and I upgraded to 1. All my legit counter-parts work perfectly though. From this, it does not sound like the WiiKey is overheating.
My guess is that either Nintendo has some kind of delayed update that affected the WiiKey. This sounds to be the case because a lot of people started experiencing the same symptoms at the same time, despite different amount of usage. The only variable that seems to hold true is that 1. I change my wiikey and now everything work fine.
So the 1. Did you update to 1. Or do you still use 3. But I updated first from 3. I have not had the Wii powerless yet. I have a D2A chipset, 3. No problems yet and hopefully none to come. Another group providing updates? Here you can download the latest wiikey firmware, I made a mirror on my site since the official site has been offline for a while now…. Like all other: SMG workx for 10 day fine — now the wii stops reading all kind of copied DVD including config and update. Dudes, new update.
I ordered new wiikey. So I opened my wii and remove the old wiikey, unfortunately the traces were lifted. So the wii was working again.
I also tried to update stock firmware 1. Tobe safe I re-flashed the new wiikey back to 1. Everything can be played except SMG. No problem. Seems the stock 1. I was thinking of re-flashing the old wiikey, so I was thinking about swapping method. The old wiikey was then put into another DB9 plug.
Just for fun, I turned on the wii with the old wiikey connected and inset a backup disc. Amazingly, my wii was working and back to the old stage. So What happened then was the other way around. I use my old wiikey to trick config 1. What an ironi. Anyway, lesson learnt? Honestly I am getting more confused. I cannot say the soldering points were the culprit. I did reheat each soldering point of old wiikey with no good result.
I can probably say, it worth a try to remove your broken wiikey and putting it back or try to run it externally. I reflashed back to 1. If I understand you correctly : removing it and placing it back solved the problem? Assume it does, that portion of wiikey 1. Then we can again assume this problem only happen to wiikey installed permanently in the wii. There are two holes in wiikey we used to connect to wii plus 4 more small connector.
The bottom hole that connect to the fatter trace on wii is the ground. I originally posted a problem in November with my Wii having the mod done and working flawlessly with the 1.
My case is more severe, our Wii would not read backups or original disc. I thought the worse and was thinking I would have to try to send it back to Nintendo for a bad drive. Well… This past weekend, I took off the WiiKey and now it reads the original disc so it was definately the mod chip… My kids wanted to play with the Wii so I did not have a chance to reinstall the WiiKey again for the second time to see if the chip is bad or if the original installation a connection had come loose since it was working for such a long time, months… I will post the results when I get back to installing the WiiKey again.
Jan 5th update 3. After an hour wii no longer recognize BUs again, and now will not even read 1. Upgraded to 1,9g som months back… Everything worked fine until last night when suddenly my Wii stopped reading backups.. Have downgraded to 1,9b using 1,9b rescue disc… It worked and i got the Wii to start reading backups again..
Yes my friend a new chip or flash the chip with a programer, the installer will take the other off and do this and install a new one in your keeping the other and probably sell it to other person, this is ok cause he is taking the risk of unistalling shit from another service and cause he knows what is doing, from now on dont upgrade any shit just because one game.
Am getting my console this week. Hello, considering my wii cant read SMG ill assume i havent upgraded my wiikey version to 1. Hi, my backups stopped workin tonight ive got the same trouble as everyone else but when i put in an original all works fine untill i eject it while on the channels screen.
Got my Wii back and working. They switched my chip for a new one. So probably not a software related problem. I had the same problem. Right after I got wiikey , I installed it and got it working playing mario party 8. I was thinking about playing smg so I inserted the 1. I then inserted my config 1. I also tried the recovery disc and that supposably restore something I think.
As far as I can see, this problem only occurs with D2B cut versions, newer mainboards The Pin number 4 to be soldered directly to processor. True or false? When they do work, they only work for about 5 minutes max. I have tried downgrading the software to 1. I would say it was a problem with the modchip, but then the backups would no be working at all, but I do get about 5 minutes of play time on the discs before getting an error sometimes. I am experiencing exactly the same troubles as tonyt.
Start a Copy after a long pause or resetting the chip by shortcutting the connections works once. A second try results in starting error Drive stops after few seconds. Mainboard of drive is latest D2B version with cut pins.
I am adding a link with foto! Who knows the soultion? What about the pros? Is the D2B cut with missing pin unmoddable with Wiikey? Which chip shall I take? I was running 1.
Saved my settings, restarted. Now I cant play anything. Then I updated the wii to 3. Why does the wiikey team make the source code not open source so other programmer can continue the work if they do not do it.. I am currently running version 1. Well i had the exact same issues as all above except it would read originals ut not back ups. My Wii stopped reading backups after about 1 month of 1. I do put my power off every time, for environmental reasons.
I read here that more Wiikeys have stopped working after power-downs, but mine had had the power off lots of times before. Originals still work fine, btw! Then I desoldered the Wiikey, turned the Wii on. Then resoldered the key, turned the Wii on, but nothing had changed. This is what I did that probably messed it up:. Got SMG 2. Did the 2 Updates for SMG 3. Downloaded wiikey 1. Ran Config1. Restarted Wii 7. Start SMG and still getting unauthorized device detected.
I updated to 1. My wii back ups still worked fine but my emulators would just give a disc read error. NEXT i ran it in my wii and it read it as a gc disk then booted into the wiikey config menu. Now everything works great. Common people the update works great.
Im been using it for like 2 weeks now. No errors my WiiKey acturrally works even better now! This disc is FULL of scratchs. I can recover some backups now. It looks like all wiikeys who stopped working are clones, not originals.
Can someone confirm this? Is the someone who has an original wiikey which stops working? I hope that it helps someone. I had my Wii modded with an authentic WiiKey, 1. I had just bought SMG and was very hesitant to load 1. I successfully upgraded to 1. Strangely enough, a different backup received the same error. Let it run twice, until you hear Homer's voice 4 After the 1. Burn that as a GCOS disc and let it run minutes and your wiikey will be back in business 6 Make all the preparations ahead of time.
Read this first post in its entirety. Everything will be fine. I reccommend running the Config and Update files in GCOS mode since it seems to be very reliable that way, however, especially if you do not have a GC controller, you may opt to filechop the images and burn them normally without making a GCOS disc.
However, particularly in cases when you Wiikey seems to be experiencing problems, consider unning the discs in GCOS format. I was able to get them from the google cache of the official site.
If the extracted images are smaller than 1. For a wii to read a disk, it must be about 1. So the way about it is to use filechop, it increases the file size from abotu 30mb to 1. The txt file must contain the following text: filechop. Last edited: May 22, So if my wii has wiikey.. This article says that if you upgrade your firmware to the latest, and you have a modchip that it it will lock up your system? Last edited: Dec 8, Aj69 likes this. No that is false.

My Wii was at 2. A GCOS Wikkey config disc is used when, because of a firmware update, the Wii, although modded, is not able to read a normal Wiikey Config disc the ones from the official Wiikey site. After this is done the Wiikey will be back to normal. So basically, is the GCOS disc to turn region override on or off the wiikey recovery disc that is on the wiikey website that you can download?
