MARIO GALAXY WII (new protection, chip update required)

[whatnow]

I could quite easily play this all day

[SpursSaint]

Just found this nbz,dont know if it works or not though. im d/loading now so will report back....

[{{909}}]

i saw the files on a.b.boneless, but didn't think it was worth posting them in case the game makes your wii spit fireworks, you're a brave (*cough* stupid) man spurssaint!

whatever you do, don't let the game update if it does even work.

Hmmm interesting move. I wonder if this only applies to the first party games at the moment. I hope Battalion Wars 2 and Manhunt 2 are okay.

Its got the same nfo as the one you posted mate so im pretty sure it wont work,gonna give it a go though.After all it is nearly the 5th of november! lol

Supposedly when the game is inserted and you press A on the icon it loads then locks up with a black screen and an error message appears:

ERROR 001- Unauthorized device has been detected

Probably nonsense though.

[Billhouse]

Also the original does seem to work on a modded unit.

[SpursSaint]

and what happens when you reboot? everything back to normal or does it stay "unauthorized"! (ie. fooked)?

[sammyc7]

Does this mean all games from now on will not be able to play?

Or is there some sort of hack made already?

Damn got excited when i saw the attachment icon!

Gutted

Strange they didnt do it for metroid

[whatnow]

apparently the metriod demo was the same as this?

I read on gbatemp u get a mario background and mario's voice which would to me confirm this iso is good and the 'protection' is something which will take some time to bypass... ?

who knows, it's safe to say this copy doesn't work out the box, brick blocker and possibly regionfrii are needed before anything else (for pal users)

[Billhouse]

On GBAtemp forums some guy is saying he too got the error and now some backups are problematic. I hope he is lying.

^^heh, good point

billhouse, i wouldn't read into this too much, every time a major release comes out and theres problems everyone heralds it as the end of an era, like previously said there were tons of rumors regarding Zelda on the DS, in the end there was absolutely nothing different about it.
Minor changes to games to stop piracy is quite common, in the PS1/2 days the release groups tended to be a bit more skilled and didn't make a big song and dance about it when they cracked a new game.

Worth buying the game anyway, i will be.

my post probably makes little sense, i was replying to the last page, didnt even see this second page of posts..duh...rookie.

tried burning iso as normal and then used Brickblocker on iso and both didnt work .
Got black screen with both images.

[{{909}}]

a black screen after clicking the game icon in the wii channels you mean?

[Billhouse]

Yeah your right 909.

So you didnt get the error message?

[B.I.G.]

Did you use regionfrii before the black screen? i tried a normal copy and the disc never got recognised used regionfrii and it tried to update at which point i turned the fucker off.

Little update:tried brick blocker and regionfrii together and got the black screen with no warning.So i'm guessing it's the american firmware that will give this message and if i'd updated successfully off the disk before i used brickblocker i'd have got the message.

Oh and i had already done the 3.1 online update in case anyone wondered.

[{{909}}]

its regionfrii, not wiifree! wiifree is a bloody chip!

You seem to have got better results than anyone else tho B.I.G., it seems to be behaving just like any other import in your case. You should let it update i think, for the sake of my sanity

Can't remember all these apps and chips names as my wii is rarely used don't really pay much attention....so i apologise for any confusion (i shall now edit all my posts)

[Billhouse]

Will be interesting to see what happens. Hope it works!
