Drivekey: with X4 Diode
Wii: RVL-001(USA), GC2-D2C2 Drive
Firmware: 4.1u (Recently updated)
Softmodding: None, but I have the Homebrew channel from before 4.0u
My Drivekey has been working perfectly for the past 6 months but it has recently been unable to read any backups. There are only two events that between the time of it working to not working. I've recently moved (Possible vibration or jarring?) and I've recently updated from 4.0u to 4.1u.
I've opened up my Wii and found no visible damage to the Drivekey and reinstalling it had no effect.
My Wii's current functionality is as follows:
Original DVDs: Working
Backups DVDs: Not Working
Access to Drivekey menu: Working
Drivekey menu Save Setting Button: Working after turning the Drivekey off -> saving then on -> saving.
Any help would be appreciated, and if there is any other information that would be useful, please let me know.
Sorry for the consecutive posts, but I couldn't find an edit button.
The Drivekey's "autoboot dvd" function is actually also working.
Found the edit button... Downgrading to 4.0u has no effect.
I've basically given up on the Drivekey for Wii backups, USB Loader GX seems to be the way to go for everything Wii now. Toss your whole collection onto something the size of 2 game cases, halve loading times, and never have to worry about wearing out your DVD drive... Why didn't Nintendo think of this. I'd like to see this with a solid state HD, awesome gaming system with zero moving parts.
Anyway, thanks to all who looked over this even if none of you had any suggestions
