I know that the new System Menu 4.3 removes softmods. But does any of you know if you can update safely to 4.3 if you have a modchip (like Wasabi DX) installed, and no softmods? I.e. will Wasabi DX...

Hmm, ok, just to avoid confusion if anyone else stumbles upon this post later on:

The Wasabi DX works perfectly fine with Wii system menu 4.2. However, the 4.2 update results in a limitation in...

Huh?!

The update to 4.2 blocks out-of-region games on all Wiis, and this is a problem for all modchips, including the Wasabi DX. It has nothing to do with the way the modchips work. The only way...

@davepm or others: I too have a Wasabi DX installed on an otherwise virgin Wii 4.2e. I am considering to softmod my Wii in order to play WiiWare and run MediaPlayer CE. I assume I can skip some of...

Yep, in order to play games that support extra equipment like a guitar you sometimes need to perform an update from the game disc the first time. As stated above, this is not a system update to 4.2....

You may want to search WikiPedia for a detailed description of the updates from 4.0 to 4.1, and 4.1 to 4.2.

But basically the 4.1 update fixes a small bug in relation to Wii Sports Resort, and all...

Do you have the issue with backups only, or with all game discs, including originals?

At the main screen of the Wii System Menu right after a boot of the Wii, try hitting eject 3 times to see if...

I have Wii System Menu 4.2e and Wasabi DX with 3.0 firmware. No softmods. All backups I have tried so far works fine, including NSMB (and yes, I have tested the actual game - played it all the way to...

If your Wii System Menu is above v3.4, there is no way to get NSMB to work with DriveKey v1 without softmodding the Wii. Until the DriveKey team may or may not release a JTAG update for DriveKey v1,...

Ok, I have now waited 3 months for the DriveKey team to release their JTAG firmware update for the DriveKey chip, and still no sign of it.

I don't know about you guys, but to me this is simply not...

Yep, backup version and no softmods whatsoever.

Errh, Wii Fit Plus PAL plays perfectly fine on my 4.2e Wii with old DriveKey... So why do you say it is BCA protected!?!

Which games other than NSMB have the new protection?

Hehe. Do you have an original copy of NSMB I could borrow for a couple of years, please? :p

I gave my crazy idea a try, and you are absolutely right - I just get a black screen when trying to run...

I am trying to get NSMB to work on my Wii 4.2e. I have no softmods, but I have a DriveKey modchip installed. I would like to avoid all IOS/cIOS modifications - and if possible I would even like to...

That's really great news!! It would finally rule out the doubt about whether the DriveKey (WiiKey) team is behind their product.

AFAIK their are even the first modchip manufacturer to release a...

I think so, but try asking in the softmod section instead.

ben3, the whole point is that people is trying to play the game WITHOUT having to softmod/install homebrew on their Wii. I'm on the same page - I bought a modchip in order to play games without...

Those two games not working has nothing to do with DriveKey. DriveKey plays all games that other similar modchips plays. Nothing more, nothing less.

NSMB has a new copy protection, and...

install the missing IOS? as linked in the guide?[/QUOTE]
That would be softmodding my Wii, right? Well, that was what I was trying to avoid - I was looking for a way to play the game on my current...

For us neanderthal users who have a 4.2E Wii without any softmods whatsoever (but with a modchip, in my case a DriveKey), is there currently any way to get this game working? (Other than buying the...

You're in the wrong forum section for that type of question, mate.

It did... Until the new D3-2 drive was introduced by big N.

No, it will not.

Well, I didn't address the issue you are having with dark games. I have never heard about this before, but perhaps it is a PAL/NTSC thing with your TV. (Like if I play an NTSC DVD movieon my PAL TV,...
