Check both the thread on Wii Bricks and the one on Wii Resources for help.

navahmed, My Wii stop functioning correctly after being bricked by paper mario. but it is fixed by the galaxy update. just not the setting. so i guess you can go buy a copyright wiifit to unbrick the galaxy brick. I am not sure..

Hey has anyone else have a problem with smg when using a ntsc usa wii with the wiikey? I have a updated system (3.1u) and I am using the 1.9g patch for the wiikey. The disk is currently not loading (just sits at the loading screen between the wii disc and gc disc). This backup was used by someone else as well and it is working so I don't know whats wrong. Anyone else have problems?

nintendo may of found a way to detect modchips or stop copied games from being played
They may well have done, but the modding scene has kept up with it, and numerous fixes for most chips are now available. All they did was modify the disc security so that the response sent by the modchip was known to be fake. All that the modchip creators had to do was simply edit the signal sent back to the Wii. This may not be correct, but as far as my knowledge goes, it seems to be.

Ask your friend if any patches were applied (such as brickblocker etc). If so it should have affected his console as well, but you can never be sure.

Also, the Wii is very finicky with media types. You should try burning your own backup on a good quality media, just to confirm it is the console/chip that is being problematic.

I'm getting the "Unauthorized disk" error when trying to play SMG. I have a US Wii, Firmware 3.1U and D2C key. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I can play all back ups fine, just not SMG.

Thanks

Super Mario Galaxy uses a new kind of security that tends to prevent modchips from running backups, unless you provide an appropriate patch. The same also applies to originals. I have not got much experience with what you are talking about, and so I can only suggest you search around to see if there is any way to fix this, taking into consideration the new security.

Hi, I have a NTSC WII with Wiikey. I can play a backup copy of SMG until the end of galaxy 2. When I defeat browser and get the maxistar to open galaxy number 3, the wii turns completely black and do not save, I have to reset the WII.

The WII remains without problems, and I can play other backups, I thought it was a problem os corrupt save file, but I can get another stars in the first 2 galaxies without problem and it saves, the only problem is with the maxistar.

Anyone with this similar problem? any suggestions?

Is the backup ISO from a reliable source?

However this does seem unusual, as corrupt ISO's tend not to even load at all, but it is the only reason I can think of.
It may be because it is a bad copy.

Yes, however some people seem to have major problems with the Wiikey and firmware 3.x. You may need to research this to make a decent decision on whether to buy it or not.

Here is my situation with a wii i'm modding.

Launch day (d2a) installing a wiikey (genuine).
I've done 10+ other wiis for other people so the whole process is not unfamiliar to me.

Solder went fine, all points checked with a lighted magnifying glass.
3.1U updated
1.3 config disc (on a multiboot with 1.3 config, 1.9g update, and some homebrew)
turned on region free.

Ran 1.9g update, updates test was fine, update flash was fine (including homer afterwards).

Legit discs play fine. Backups play fine sort of.

I'm still getting error 001 on smash and brawl. Any other disc plays fine, and both those discs play fine in my own wii.

I was really stumped, so I ran the 1.9b recovery disc (for 10 minutes just to be sure) then reflashed again to 1.9g just to double check everything, and both still give error 001.

Is is possible the flash isn't working because its part of a multidisc? I've never seen this happen, including any of the other wiikeys I've done (with the same flash disc mind you).

Try toggling your region to off on the config disc.

After modding the second wii I had here with another wiikey and getting to exactly the same problem (error 001 after a successfull 1.9g update) I figured it had to be the disc.

I burnt a regular gcos disc and the 1.9g update all by its lonesome seperately, flashed, and everything works great.

I guess the moral is, be carefull if you're having trouble with a multi game disc with updates on it.
