3.1J wii person here. would i be able to play any backup or original copy of SMG? I do have a JAP backup of SMG but it won't let me play it, since the message is all in cool-lettering japanese. I can play wii fit perfectly (original copy) though.

*Chipset is 50% most likely a D2C, and i see a red light in the SD slot. can't wait for brawl btw.

i'm having a problem. i have a japanese wii with a wiikey.

my brother got smg usa version and he i guess accidentally updated the wii firmware to 3.0 or 3.1 or something so i can't go to the settings page anymore but all my games still work.

i then updated the wiikey to 1.9g and everything still works except it doesn't get smg to work.

i also used the wiikey setup to turn region lock off.

what else can i do?

I have a Wiikey modded Wii. I upgraded my Wii to 3.2U via Wi-Fi. I then upgraded the Wiikey to 1.9g beta.

However, I'm still having problem running SMG. After I clicked on "Start", it showed me the 001 error message - Unauthorized Device detected. What's wrong?

My JAP back-up did not show the 001 message when i load the game. instead, it showed a different message with unique font on a blue box. anyone experienced it?

lemme fix that, the blue box doesn't give me the 001. The blue box with the text roughly translates as "The Game Disc Cannot Be Read, Please See Operation Manual". If i eject, it just tells me to insert the SMG disc :\. The JAP one i got is a backup. However, the NTSC-U locks up only.

NOTE to people trying to play games from othr regions:

You need to check the COMPATIBILITY LISTS linked in the initial post of this thread.

For people having trouble playing SMG (Pal/US) on Jap Wii:

Somehow the update did not work.
Maybe you have a Wiikey clone, or it was a bad disc burn. Try the 1.9g again.

Knowing Nintendo it probably will have the same protection. However I stumbled on a chip called Wasabi that said they found a way round any future protection...don't know if this is true or not though.

I checked the Wiikey and it was an authentic WiiKey. When I ran the 1.9g beta upgrade, I went through the update with the successful message with reference to galaxy. Could it be the media itself? I have burned several copies with 4X on Ritek DVD-R disc. Does anyone has any description on what this protection is about? Is it reading certain bits/bytes on the disc that may not have been recorded properly or could it be a bad backup?

Thanks.

Check the thread above out - its seems to have some useful hints.

You've basically semi-bricked your Wii...the only way to fix this is to find a game with an update from your region to overwrite the firmware with what it should be.

wassup, dudes?

i have a wii, modded (i think with a wiikey, official or clone). everything's been cool. Gamecube back-ups, wii back-ups...

I got a Super Mario Galaxy back-up, performed the prompted update and had the 001 error. Tried the other games, gamecube back-ups and older wii games and they work fine.

got the 1.9gbeta, 1.9gboot, even 1.9b recovery but haven't used any yet. checked the settings: firmware is 3.0E.

what can i do? what are my options? how do i know if i have the 1.3 or 1.9b? do i get the 3.2 firmware and then update to 1.9gbeta? what is the difference between 1.9gbeta and 1.9gboot?

thanks in advance

Hello
I wonder how to get some games working.
I have a new pal (LE155...) wii with d2pro chip.
Wii firmware is 2.1E, no internet (but could connect if necessary).
I can access Wii settings fine so I'm guessing -> not bricked yet.
There was never any dialog asking me to update.
Burned with Alcohol 120% and imgburn on Memorex-R 2x speed.
Other games like SMP8, SPM, Dog Island, Bully SE all worked fine (All w/above burn config).
SMG is pal and iso was brickblocked.
I can start the game but then i just get a black screen.
The disc will eject but i can't get back to the menu, have to turn power off. After reset, everything works as before.
Exactly the same happens with MP3, No More Heroes, and Wii Chess.
Although I think NMH I didn't brickblock, gonna try that again.

Any advice on what to do next to get SMG working?

You just semi-bricked your wii. Just do the 3.2 update from the internet and everything should be fine.

Hi,
can someone really please help me with this. i have posted a response or two, but still havent gotten any help/response.

I have a NTSC wii (v 3.2u) and a wiikey (1.9g) and i am trying to run a Mario galaxy backup (NTSC). All my other backups work, except this one. I put in the disc, and it says :cannot read disk. WHY? WHY? WHY?....i've tried different burn speeds and everything, and yet it doesnt work. When i put it in, nothing appears where the disc channel is too.

Thanks in advance for ur responses!!
