i wonder if there is a real common reason for why it works fine for some yet seemingly fails for others. could it be a simple newbie error or are there subtle changes in hardware we do not know of.
i burned the 1.9g update as an iso onto a dvd RW without using filechop or anything
me - pal wii with wiikey was 3.1E and wiikey updated to 1.9b with congig 1.3
i updated on net 1st - was already uptodate
then ran a few games
then updated the wiikey
it ran test for flashing to 100% then said test passed - press a key to update wiikey - i pressed a key and it went to 100% and then said passed - reboot galaxy.
At this point i ran fifa 08 just to make sure it worked still and it did but it seemed to hang on a black screen during loading for a few secs(scared me that did lol)
i then ran mario galaxy - FOR THE VERY 1st TIME
it did an update and then worked perfectly
hope this helps others

thanks for answering me (thinone)
but when u did the wiikey update did u eject then reinsert the disc when testing for the flash? when i did that it worked and continued to update otherwise it says check ur connection and try again and when it continued to update when it reached 100 i had to eject the disc otherwise it will stay at 100 but when i ejected the disc it says update success reboot galaxy and then i insert mario disc and restarted my wii hearing the simpson voice saying u all nuts then the game run to say the same old error 001: unauthorized device has been detected. so did u ever eject the wiikey update disc durning the update process then reinserted it?

I thought at first that I was being a bit simple. Just turns out I had a bad burn. Here's what happened to me and what I did:
1. Ripped SMG with rawdump 2.0
2. Updated by Wii system via internet to 3.1U
3. Updated WiiKey from 1.9b to 1.9g beta (waited for Homer and rebooted)
4. Finished rawdump and proceded to burn SMG on Memorex DVD-R @ 4x (what I always do)
5. While this is happening I pop in the SMG original and let my son start fooling around.
6. BTW there was no update initiated by SMG?!?!
7. Daddy's turn -- I put in the copied copy of SMG and proceed to start the game... everything seems fine... shows up in the Disc channel and I start the game. Right at the point that Peach's castle is being hoisted into the sky and Mario is being thrown across the universe the game crashes. Crashes is maybe too strong a word. I get an error that there is a disc read error. Just for kicks I swap the copy for the original and the game resumes no problem. Therefore this is NOT wiikey related (I think). I try starting a new game again. Right at the exact same spot I get the same error message.
8. I reburn the game with the same settings on the same media and wouldn't you know it... success!
Talk about crazy.
Anyways many thanks go out to everyone who has posted here with their stories and helpful suggestions. I don't think that we as a whole could get through tough times like this if we didn't stick together.
Thanks also go out to the WiiKey dudes for the beta update -- thanks for not forgetting about us!! Keep up the good work.

Quick update: While I failed to get a real Super Mario Galaxy (J) working on my US Wii (with Wiikey), I did manage to burn a copy of the US disc, which works just fine. So the copy protection forced me to play a copy of the game...ironic, no?

it's normal, the WiiKey WILL NOT play different regions (with a few exceptions). the WiiKey is solely there for you to play BACKUP games from your own region.
As soon as you want to change regions you MUST use the region changing software when you burn the game, and even then it doesn't work all the time.
stick with your region and you'll be safe, the worst that can happen is a semi-brick which is only temporary.

are u sure yours is a genuine wiikey? it might be that wiikey have found a way of telling the clones from the real ones and it only works on genuine chips
mine tested the flash then said passed and press key to update

Hello,
I have a problem with Mario Galaxy (PAL).
I have a wiikey and wii-version 3.1E.
I made a mistake during the installation of wiikey version 1.9g,
so I had to use the recovery-disc.
After that I installed 1.9g correctly.
The Wii recognizes the Disc, but when I start the game all I get is a black screen. Any suggestions??
Thank you very much!!

Hi everyone!
I'm really new to this whole thing and i searched for answers but could not find any.
My problem is that i just got SMG and have the whole error#001 problem and i see that i have to download the update and install it. I cannot seem to find a good guide to tell me how to exactly burn the update onto a DVD using IMGBURN as i am completely new to that program. Can someone please post step by step instructions to teach me how to use IGMBURN to burn the new update 1.9g?
Thanks Alot

when u download the update it has 3 iso files in it
u want the one which is the correct region for your wii
extract that file to your desktop then use imgburn to burn it
that guide explains how to burn an iso image
please dont take this the wrong way, if this is too confusing for you, you really should not be attempting these things with your wii as it is very basic level stuff. if its not the answer you are looking for then you are not asking the right question
how are u trying to write it?
u need to write step by step what you are doing - this way we can help you

I've had the same problem as a few people are having.
PAL Nintendo Wii (bought it on launch day)
PAL version on SMG
Nintendo firmware 3.1E
Wiikey version unknown
I ran SMG, let the update run. Didnt work, hit the end but didn't finish.
And then now read up about the wiikey hot fix. But i cant do it, since the Wii will not read the wiikey update cd/dvd or the Gcon thingy as well as SMG. All come up with cannot read disc (on the wii, it doesnt load up at all).
Anyone had any breakthru's here?

Hi all, first timer her, hope I will come to like it her.
My problem is simple, I whant to know if the eject trick(taking out the update 1.9g hot fix DVD before the test and before the real flash) works? does it realy update?
Because its the only why I dont get the connection error. I used it for 1.9b update and for 1.9g update. If it does not work, then I dont even have 1.9b.
Info: Hade PaL Wii 2.1 whit Wiikey 1.9b(<-so I believe)(eject trick)
Downloaded the 1.9g from http://www.wiikey.cn , burnt it, used eject trick, Heard Homer say "you guys are nuts".
Got Super_Mario_Galaxy_PAL_Wii-WiiZARD , put it in, it updated my Wii from 2.1( no lan adapter) to 3.0e, after that I try to play and I get the 011 error. All my other games work, like for ex metroid 3, but not SMG.
I dont know what the problem is!? I have read true many forums no one realy knows what the problem is. It looks like for some it works and for some it dont, its 50 50 , unlucky for me it does not.
I read at maxconsoles forum, thread http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=86985 ,where thy hade many that hade the same problem, thy sade that maybe some Wiikey chips does not work as thy sude, and that the eject trick does not work to update.
So I whan know does it work or not, and if not, what one sude do?
Have burnt over 10 dvd-r fujifilm 16x whit no progress or solution.
thx for the read ( I know its a long one;-)
take care

Hey. Quick general question:
Had my wii for a while (w/ wiikey) but haven't flashed my firmware for a loong time, I don't even remember what version it is, definitely NOT 1.9G.
Anyways, I went out and bought Super Mario Galaxy (despite popular belief, not everyone who has a modchip is out to hurt the gaming industry). Put in the disc, it asked me to perform an update, I did, and the game worked fine.
So does this mean that the wii can now distinguish between an original and a backup game? Or does it mean they can detect that you have a modchip?
Does anyone know EXACTLY HOW nintendo knows you are playing a backed up game???
Thanks.

scratch that, I've managed to update the wii key firmware to 1.9g now.
So as it stands
PAL wii
Wii Key version 1.9g
PAL SMG
Now my only problem is it wont read the SMG disc. Says error, cannot read disc (on the wii, so i cannot get into the game at all)
Any ideas? Im trying a reburn of SMG now to see if i get anything.
