I have recently updated my wiikey to 1.9b and now I can not get my wii to read the new config disk. I have made several burns using many kinds of media (mostly verbatim -r) with no luck. My Wii will recognize the disk as a gamecube disk but when I click start it gives me a error reading disk? My Wii is able to read some of my previous backups but not all of them?

Has anyone else run into a problem getting your wii to read the config disk after updating the firmware on your wii key?

I also forgot to mention that my old 1.2 config disk will no longer boot in my wii.

After my wii did the 3.0 online update i lost the abality to play some of my backups. When I flashed my wiikey i did get the "insert coin" at the end. So yes, it did get a good flash.

However some of my backups do still work as well as my originals

Everything looked good when I flashed. The wierd part is that my Wii will still read some of my old backkup's but none of my config disks, not even the 1.2 version that I originally used on my wii with the wiikey installed? Nothing has changed except the firmware update. Maybe I will do the update again. Has anyone tried to do the firware updated after it was already sucessfully done?

When you upgrade to 3.0 config disc 1.2 isnt suppose to work anymore, but it should block some of the games, i have no idea. The point at which your games stopped working including most probably the 1.3 config disc now, is when you upgraded your firmware, not when you flashed the wii key. At this point in time i don't have any ideas. Have u searched?

I have the same problem however i am using the PAL 1.3 config disk. I just found a guy in another forum site who say it because region free is set to off and the header on the config 1.3 disc is not set to PAL specific or somthing like that. However one thing they have said i a work around.

mystery solved...

the flash does not reset the settings to default

so for the people that had region override on before they flash with 1.9b, the 1.3 bootdisk worked (and wiikey team got away with it again )

thanx god there were people that had region override to off before the flash to discover this fuckup

kudos to wiikey team for this fiasco...again

You could always make your own booting disk....

1. Download 1.3 config from wiikey site.

2. Create your image with the PAL or USA batch file.

3. Burn the image to DVD-R.

4. Hex edit the ISO (on harddrive) with HxDen (or other hexeditor)

as per this http://psx-scene.com/forums/attachme...g?d=1186782217

5. Save the edited ISO and burn it to DVD-R

6. Boot with the hexedited 1.3 disk.

7. You will see a screen asking for the correct 1.3 disk.

8. Swap for untouched 1.3 disk and press reset button.

9. Once 1.3 has loaded set the region override to "ON"

10. Save the settings and reboot the Wii.

11. 1.3 untouched will now boot.

Vapo

Or use a 1.2b config disk (for your region) and set region override to "ON" then boot your 1.3 config disk.

Failing this if you have a copy of 1.2b from http://btmg.freehostia.com/upload/config1.2b.zip

Load this and see if you can set region override to "ON".

Then try the untouched 1.3 disk.

Vapo


update....

The settings reported on booting the 1.3 disk are :-

Region override = OFF
Audio Fix = ON
Speed = x6
GC Region Free = ON

However, now the official 1.3 PAL config wont boot again.....

Boot with the mod 1.3 then official 1.3 then set the chip to ON, ON, x6, ON, save settings and reboot.

The 1.3 PAL disk works again. Confused.


Update.....

The 1.2b image CAN be used to get the 1.3 official disk booting.

You need to set Region override to "ON" before the 1.3 disk will boot.

When you boot the official 1.3 the default setting is Region override "OFF". If you save this this "OFF" then 1.3 will stop booting again and you will need to use 1.2b to set it back to "ON". Does that make sense ?

This method worked for me. The 1.2b (change settings) then boot 1.3 worked a treat!

Great work there vapochill
