Look I am a newb, I am at the moment waiting for my Wii Key 2 chip so my brother can pin it into the Wii.(Not solder, I think clip)
Anyways here are my questions, and please do not refer me to another forum because I don't want to read loads on loads of threads of information that wasn't in their in the first place.
1. I have an old Wii version, I haven't updated it for a LONG time(firm ware that is), so when I put the Wii key 2 mod chip in, how do I play newer Wii Games ? I heard each game will update your Wii to the newest version or something. Do I need to download from the Wii key 2 website to download their custom firm ware from their website and NOT download the official firmware the Wii releases ? You can see the sort of questions and issues arising in this question, so if I missed a vital question to ask about this issue, please answer it.
I might repeat the same question as I really want to know what to do. Do I have to download Wii games that have 'updates/regions' removed, or can actually download a full wii released game with it's update and such built into the game ?
Or can I just simply put the Wii key 2 in my Wii and just download games and Bam that's it ?
Really out of everything my real worry is playing NEW games.
(And yes I am talking about backing up the games I already have incase this thread gets closed for any other reason.)
I bought my daughters a Wii for Christmas last year and ordered a Wii Key 2. I clipped it to the chip on the inside of the Wii and have no problems. My Wii is running the very latest firmware that they have just released and my Wii still is able to run back up games. I can go to the Wii Shop and download content and I can download content from the games online shops. Wii Key 2 is the way to go.
In all honesty, since the Wii Key chip was installed inside of my daughter's Wii the only thing that has been updated was the Wii's firmware. But I do recommend looking everything up before you update. You just can't go 'round updating stuff all willy nilly!
