Today I got the wiikey v1 with clip. I Disassembled the wii and placed it over my DMS chipset and it fit snug. I close up the wii. I put in firmware 1.9s and then config disc image 1.9s. The firmware loads up. It seems to do the job. I put in config disc image I didn't really do anything here. I read that you should change the disc speed from 6x to 3x. Have you all done this?

Ok, so then I try SMG. It gives me "game cannot be read." I'm pissed because I expected it to work. I burnt the game at 4x speed with TDK DVD-Rs. I try at 2x with TDK DVD-Rs. Same thing happens. I burn a copy of Lego Indianan Jones at 2x with TDK DVD-Rs. It works! So I play it for a few minutes to make sure everything is good. I then burn another game Raving Rabbids TV Party at 2x with TDK DVD-Rs and it loads. It plays for like a minute or two and then all of the sudden I get a black screen saying disc cannot be read. I'm like damn. So then I try Lego Indiana Jones again and it DOESN'T work. I don't get it. I then try re-burning Lego Indiana Jones with Philips DVD-Rs at 1x and this still doesn't play.

Originals games WILL work, but no backups. Do you think there is something wrong with the chip? Like I said it must have been working in the beginning because Lego Indiana Jones did work briefly. Do you think it is the DVD-Rs? PLEASE let me know what you think I should do. Should I try and reinstall the chip ( I have it on with the wii-clip)? Should I then try and re-install the firmware and config disc image? OR Do I just contact modchipcentral and get a replacement? Again, I am at a loss. I am using Rawdump2.0 and everything seems to be working fine. I am just using NTSC originals so I don't even use WiiBrickBlocker or RegionFri.

I'm using an LG 8163b.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE get back to me.

I have been searching for quite some time, and I think Iknow the correct answer, but I want to be sure;

If I want to update my Wii's firmware, it is best to do it via the internet, correct (instead of via a game disc)?

Im nt even sure I want to yet, in case Nintendo starts meddling around and "looking" at my Wii via the web. I suppose I could disable the Wii from going on line until I need it to go online.....

I updated to 3.4 and all my games work with the exception of SSBB. The only game really worth playing again IMO. I even went as far as buying it and it still won't play. So I would try to avoid the update.

It is ok to update via a game disc as long as the disc is the same region as your Wii.

What firmware are you on right now?

Most people agree it is just safer or recommended to stay on 3.2 firmware, until it is known what Nintendo can do after the 3.4 update.

I am on 3.3u, and I do not do other region games, downloads, or anything like that. I buy games, burn copies and put the originals away.

I just bought Top Spin 3, and when I put in the original disc I got the message that an update was needed. I checked and sure enough, I have 3.3U on my Wii and I see nintendo has released 3.4U.

I would like to play the game, but the part about Nintendo "looking" at my Wii does not make me happy.

I got my SSBB to work. I have the dvd5 version btw, not the Dual Layer dvd9 version. Apparently SSBB is trusha signed or something like that and 3.3+ versions check for that to play the game. I had to downgrade back to 3.2 and now it all works again. I used Emperor of Canada's guide.

so you still need what. A modchip. Only if you want to purchase one and install it.
That is your personal preference.

If you have done the softmod, I am not sure why you are posting in this thread.

This thread is to deal with the "wiikey" modchip.
