| - wiiKey update v1.9b - |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| "wheres teh update?" |
| ---------------------- |
| right...first off, we like to apologize for the long wait. we |
| understand that some people have been very upset about it. all |
| we like to say is that the truth is often a bit more complex |
| than what people make up on forums, and shit happens. anyways, |
| those that didn't die of accumulated anger... |
| welcome to wicked wiikey update! |
| |
| so what's new ? |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| - audiofix fixed o_0 |
| - dual layer support (no bitsetting required) |
| - improved media support (all supported chipsets) |
| - full Gamecube regionfree (no-swap/video setup) |
| - various "smaller" improvements/fixes |
| - workaround for FW 3.0 gameid limitation |
| (existing wkb 1.2 discs will boot again) |
| - "on the fly" settings for gc games (by holding buttons) |
| - toggle audiofix, diskspeed, force NTSC/PAL |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Full GC Regionfree |
| --------------------- |
| Boots GC imports directly using a small apploader hook to setup |
| the correct video mode. To enable this feature use the new |
| config disc (1.3). Make sure you also enable the basic region |
| feature, thats what gets you through the wii menu in the first |
| place. Unlike a real GC, the NTSC Wii doesnt output PAL50. That |
| means the game may run but theres no picture. PAL60 games will |
| work, however you need to enable it. The common way to bring up |
| the "use PAL60?" dialog on a game is to hold B while booting. |
| Forcing to NTSC may work as well. PAL consoles output NTSC just |
| fine. |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Flashing the update |
| ------------------- |
| The update ISO is located in update/wkupdate.1.9b.xx.iso, where |
| xx responds to a region, ie us, jap, or pal. To burn the image |
| to a DVD-R, it should first be padded as many DVD recorders will |
| not burn the image in its original size correctly. This can be |
| by executing the following command (assuming you are in the |
| update/ directory): filechop.exe wkupdate.1.9b.xx.iso 1459978240 |
| where xx corresponds to your region. This will create a 1.4GB |
| image which can be recorded using Image Burner or other software.|
| |
| The update disc should appear as a Gamecube disc in the Wii menu.|
| Once started, it will start by performing a test flash cycle, |
| during which nothing will be written to the chip. Once this has |
| completed successfully you will be prompted to start the update. |
| When the update is in progress it is VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO TURN |
| OFF THE CONSOLE!!! Once the flashing is completed you will be |
| notified. Press reset to reboot your Wii with the new firmware! |
| After updating the EEPROM is set to default, ie regionfree off. |
| You will need to run the config disc to set up region free. |
| |
| |
| Final words |
| ------------ |
| With this update we have accomplished what we set out to do. We |
| would like to thank all loyal customers for choosing wiikey, the |
| beta testers who helped out with testing this update, the authors|
| of the applications on the setup disc for allowing us to include |
| their work, wiinewz.com, gbatemp.net and all other sites posting |
| news about wiikey (whether good or bad)... and YOU! |

| - wiiKey recovery disc v1.9b - |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Recovering from a bad flash |
| --------------------------- |
| Please note that this is an emergency procedure which should not |
| have to be performed. If the flashing was interrupted for any |
| reason the chip is left in a state where it cannot operate fully.|
| |
| Burning the recovery disc image |
| ------------------------------- |
| As media support in Recovery Mode is limited we recommend you |
| use DVD-R only for the recovery disc. Burn it with Toast, Image |
| Burner, or cdrecord. |
| |
| Performing the update |
| --------------------- |
| |
| - Switch on Wii and eject any disc in drive |
| - Insert recovery disc and reset Wii |
| - Wait for at least 3 minutes. There will *not* be any sign that |
| the wiikey is recovering, and the recovery disc will not appear |
| in Wii menu. |
| - Power off the Wii and switch it back on again. wiiKey should |
| now have recovered its firmware, and EEPROM will be restored to |
| default settings. |

wiiKey base v1.3 README
==========================
What's new?
=========================================
Version 1.3 of the wiiKey base system has an added configuration option
for the full gc region free feature. It also incrorporates a new version
of the wiikey dvdDump application.
Overview:
=========================================
wiiKey base combines various applications into a single bootable
disc. This release includes:
- wiikey configuration
- wiikey dvdDump (dumps discs to sdcard)
- some of the most popular gamecube homebrew apps:
- SDLoad 1.0 by Costis
- Snes9x 1.43 GX 0.5 Port by Softdev
- GCOs MultiGame Version by emu_kidid
- MFE Distro 1.0 by Isobel
Burn the image using any application capable of writing DVD disc
images i.e. ImgBurn/Nero/CloneCD/cdrecord/DeepBurner/etc
Navigation:
============================================
For those without a gamecube controller, both the main menu and the
disc dumper support navigation via the reset button. Pressing reset
for a short time will move the cursor, holding the button for one
second selects the current entry. The included homebrew apps require
a gc controller naturally.
wiikey configuration:
============================================
Note:
For stealth reasons the current settings can not be read from
the chip. That's why running the configuration will show the
initial settings regardless of the saved setup.
Region override [ON/OFF]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enabling this option will make the region of wii/gc games appear to
be the region of your console, allowing you to boot games from other
regions. Most NTSC wii games will work on US and JAP consoles. Many
PAL games will run on NTSC consoles. For a more complete list see:
http://wiki.gbatemp.net/index.php/Wii_Region_Patcher_Compatibility_List
Please note that Region override has to be activated for Full GC Regionfree.
Full GC regionfree [ON/OFF]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boots GC imports directly using a small apploader hook to setup the
correct video mode. Make sure you also enable the basic region feature,
thats what gets you through the wii menu in the first place. Unlike a
real GC, the NTSC Wii doesnt output PAL50. That means the game may
run but theres no picture. PAL60 games will work, however you need to
enable it. The common way to bring up the "use PAL60?" dialog on a
game is to hold B while booting. Forcing to NTSC may work as well. PAL consoles output NTSC just fine.
Audiofix [ON/OFF]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enables fix for gamecube games using streaming audio. If you have
backups that are already patched with fstfix, you can disable the
option here.
DVDR Discspeed [3x/6x]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the default speed for recordable media. Fast or silent, you decide!
If you experience that your Wii resets itself when you start a disc on 6x,
you might want to try it on 3x as well.
Special thanks to:
====================
- Costis for SDLoad 1.0
- Softdev for his great port of Snes9x
- Emu_kidid for GcOs on the wii
- Isobel for the wonderful MFE mplayer frontend
