1) HOW TO UPDATE YOUR WIIKEY

Read the procedure in the SMG section below. Links to original wiikey resource are here.

—————————————————————
WHAT AND WHY OF WIIKEY UPDATES

>> The Wiikey is a chip that accepts firmware updates to enhance its features and to improve compatibility.
>> The latest update for the Wiikey is 1.9g (released by the Wiikey team to counteract firmware changes as installed by Super Mario Galaxy
>> Config discs are used to change the Wiikey’s settings, including, but not limited to activating REGION OVERRIDE to allow playback of images from region other than the Wii’s one. (There two config discs: 1.2, and the more recent 1.3)
>> The Wiikey also has a failsafe feature that allows users to recover/reset the Wiikey in cases of a failed update or any other event that leaves the Wiikey firmware non-functional. In this case users must use the 1.9b Recover disc

—————————————————————
READ THIS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1) Use DVD-R discs. Use Good quality discs. Burn them at 4x
2) If a disc does not work, burn another copy
3) Keep in mind that the 1.9g update runs twice. Once for testing, and then for real. Let it run twice, until you hear Homer’s voice
4) After the 1.9g update, you might need to run a CONFIG disc in GCOS mode to turn REGION OVERRIDE back ON. [Tutorial and links abou GCOS discs are provided below]
5) If something goes wrong, like loss of power during the Wiikey update, remeber that the Wiikey has a great Recover Disc. Burn that as a GCOS disc and let it run 3-5 minutes and your wiikey will be back in business
6) Make all the preparations ahead of time. Read this first post in its entirety. Relax. Everything will be fine.
7) Running discs in GCOS format will require the use of a Gamecube controller. I reccommend running the Config and Update files in GCOS mode since it seems to be very reliable that way, however, especially if you do not have a GC controller, you may opt to filechop the images and burn them normally (without making a GCOS disc). However, particularly in cases when you Wiikey seems to be experiencing problems, consider unning the discs in GCOS format.

Official Wiikey Resources

Those of you looking for the 1.9g Wiikey update and the 1.3 config disk, here are links to the files. I was able to get them from the google cache of the official site.
(If the extracted images are smaller than 1.35gb, please, filechop theem before burning them to DVD)

A) Update your Wiikey to the Latest Firmare:
1.9g beta fix

B) IF things do not work quite right, you need to turn REGION OVERRIDE On using Config Discs:

Config 1.3 (Config 1.2 - Use this if 1.3 doesn’t work)

If neither Config 1.2 and Config 1.3 works for you, then use the HACKED 1.3 DISC to turn the REGION Override back ON.

C) If your Wiikey is not responding to either Config Discs or Update ones, then try to revive it by using the Wiikey Recover Discs below:

1.9b Recover [Link to a short but useful 1.9b Recover discussion]

[…] If you do in fact have a Wiikey, just update it. Go here: http://www.teamxmods.com/wiikey-update-for-super-smash-bros-brawl-19s/ about 1/2 the way down is a download link for Padded/Filechopped images - download the one that matches your Wii’s region, burn it to DVD as a disc image, pop it in your Wii and run the update. Also, run the update from SSBB if you havn’t already, if you have an NTSC - U Wii. You should be good to go then. Enjoy. […]

My wii is chipped with what I believe is WIIKEY v.1. It’s telling me that some discs cannot be read? Do I need to update my wiikey?
