MARIO GALAXY WII (new protection, chip update required)

[QUALCAST]

i have no idea as to the chip fitted in mine, how will these chip updates be applied? if i applied the wrong chip update would it just not work or could i damage my wii, Is there anyway of knowing what chip i have without taking wii apart?

[07.10.29] Update on Super Mario Galaxy Issue

In addition to the announcement made earlier today about Super Mario Galaxy, we are pleased to confirm that we have now identified the copy protection method responsible and created a fix.

In order to guarantee stability, we have had to make a fairly major change to the way the code works. While all tests have proven positive, the challenge now is to create a delivery system to allow existing Wiikeys to be updated.

As ever, we appreciate your patience and support while we do this.

wicked got a cyclowiz in mine so will be trying this tonight

[ant3b]

how can i find out what is in mine? had a mate install it for me so i dont know

[sammyc7]

ask your mate =]

[braymond]

you cant tell really mate without opening

[neilcritc]

ask your mate? otherwise i am not too sure...

As far as i know, if you have a cyclowiz it has to have a switch fitted to allow updating, so if you have a switch, you are set. if not, you are boned, like me.

Is this just a case of waiting a bit and being patient and everything will be ok? or is it new chip time etc?

[Scandy]

I hope the wiikey team don't take as long as the last update.

i'd wait a bit mate, the PAL release hasn't come out yet - i'd at least wait for that!

Wiinja v2 here as well.
I guess we wait and see if they update the deluxe version to work. Then it should just be a case of buying one and slotting into my chip holder although I hope a software patch is found.
I too was a smug git with the Wiinja. It has taken everything that has been chucked at it so far!

We need to just sit back and wait to see what happens over the next week or so. A software update may be all but required for chips like the Wiikey, Wiinja etc.

Take you Wii apart, and just use a bit of wire to close the circuit when needed. Works fine.

Just took my Wii apart and fitted a switch. Cyclowiz Update worked flawlessly. Rebooted, ran Mario Galaxy, run the mini update (Yes I now have duplicate channels) but the game works fine - btw I have a PAL wii

i'd still recommend a PIC based wiifree-type solution, in time, ultimate upgradablility and not tied down to anything specific might have benefits...
