shame I can't do it the other way around

I'm downloading it now, will have a play. I doubt i'll have any luck but I might as well be ready if a patch comes for the open source wii chip type folks.

Working great on my Pal Wii with Cyclowiz 3.6 beta firmware, It's the USA version, You do the update and you get duplicate weather and news channels like the Metroid USA update.

If you already have the duplicate channels it doesn't create any more. Playing SMG now and it looks cool so far

Make sure your Wii is on firmware 3.1E before doing this or theres a good chance of bricking it.

if i go to my wii settings, it says i'm on 2.1? how do i update? do i have to connect to the net to do this? or can i get it on a disc, i let my pal version of metroid do its update but i guess thats not the one

[Mario87]

Has anyone with a CycloWiz tried using brick blocker with this release? Does it still work after using brick blocker?

you need to connect your Wii to the internet! If you have a wireless connection in your house, then this is VERY easy! Just go to system settings and get the Wii to search for wireless networks, choose your one, type in your WEP or WPA key, and it will connect.

Then go back to system settings and tell it to check for updates.

Brick blocker just gives you a black screen after selecting start game like metroid did

[EvilBoB]

I did not use Brickblocker. I did a internet update first then ran the disk which does another update. I ended up with dupicate weather channels etc but all works ok.

Am I imagining things or did the wiinja deluxe hex get leaked a while back so you could program it to a normal PIC (like the Wiifree)? If so I could wipe my Wiifree and program with Wiinja then update to give me some mario loving!?

EDIT - just done a bit of searching and think the hexs leaked were for V1 and V2 Wiinja and not deluxe so no such luck! Doh!

[whatnow]

ah man i'm also runinng the winja on a pic chip... oh well, i'm seeing some small development on the YAOSM and if this hex gets leaked in the meantime, all the better, but there's probably hardware limitations i've not thought of. (Although the YASOM developer thinks the fix it pretty straightforward and it's just a few bites off working.

Time will tell, manhunt will make the time go by a little.

[Hodge20001]

OK, so i have a pal wii, im going to update my wiikey l8r

now do i need to update the wii when asked or do i remove the update with wii brick blocker

HELP

[Billhouse]

Confirmed working. Wiikey 1.9g, 3.1e. Run Super Mario Galaxy (USA). Done the Metroid hack and have no duplicate channels or any problems what so ever. Here is how you do it:

Launch the game and run the update. Unplug the Wii at about 10-15%.
Repatch another copy with Brickblocker and burn it again. Launch the game patched with RegionFrii and Brickblocker and play!

[Hodge20001]

cudnt give a shit about the dupe news chanels etc but may try it

if i dont unplug etc will it just give me dupe news and weather chans?

[Billhouse]

Yes thats all it does. Though some people who werent upto 3.1e, their Wii System Settings became corrupt.

[bulletproof]

my wii at 3.1e, ran the update a couple of days ago from the disk.

now i have updated the wiikey to 3.9g and it doesn't even recognise the smg disk at all now, just says its unreadable???

any idea's fella's..

[donty]

update would make your chip to go not region free. Run the config disc again to enable region free.

[RacerKiller]

Can this game brick a pal wii? If i don't turn the power of during the update download, will my wii be bricked or just with extra channels?
