I'm not a complete novice when it comes to this but I had my wii modded by another person and I'm not completely sure how it was done or what system it is running.
My wii is a Japanese model and it was modded to accept burned disks as well having the system converted to English. I have 2 games - Punch Out and MUA 2 - that I am looking to play but they are asking to update the system. I have looked through the site and have found the in-depth FAQ's on updating the system but am not sure which one to use. So, my questions:
1. How do I figure out how my machine is modded? And...
2. Will that enable me to run these recent games without a need to run the updater?
Yeah. I'm having the same prob. My friend's Wii was modded at the same time as mine. I have a wiikey 1. He had a wiikey 2 but the guy screwed up the install and my fiend took it back and had it fixed. We tried updating his firmware today and we had no luck. The wiikey 2 update disc and the wiikey 1 update disc both gave us "device not dected" messages. We are not sure what the man at the shop put in. We don't want to ask the guy because this was year ago and hes a bit of an angry prick. Is there some button combination you can hold down at start up or some universal wii mod disk that will tell us what wii mod-chips we have?
@dailun,my wii is version 4.0u, i am trying to hardmod instead softmod, its too omplicate, do you think the "driveKey" is good for my wii? no solder needed
Thanks for the info, dailun. I'm currently overseas and I was dealing with someone I trust so I wasn't really worried about the mod to be honest. I load games from the normal screen so it must be modded with a chip. I really hadn't worried about things until games started asking me for updates. I picked up Punch Out a couple months ago and was nervous about running it for fear of bricking my wii.
