Wii with with wiikey; partial success with backups??

toco123

I got my Wii wire installed with a Wiikey 1.9g. My firmware is the original and has not been updated.

A mate then allowed me to borrow some backups ( both PAL and NTSC) to test them with but I have a bad time with them so far.

About 90 % of the gamecube games work.. but my really problem is out of the 15 wii games,

Red Steel PAL
Super Mario Galaxy NTSC
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption PAL
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure NTSC
Super Paper Mario PAL
WarioWare: Smooth Moves PAL
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn NTSC
Trauma Center: Second Opinion PAL
Mario Strikers Charged PAL
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga NTSC
Sims 2: Castaway PAL
Battalion Wars 2 NTSC
Eledees PAL
Metal Slug Anthology NTSC
Excite Truck PAL

only 4 work excitetruck PAL, red steel PAL, Wario ware PAL and metal slug NTSC which is only 26% compatibility while Eledees and Super Mario Galaxy ask for updates. Is it possible to update with Eledees and bypass Super mario galaxys update or is there anyway to bypass updates?

Please help, my mate says "The problem is you have to configure your wii so you can play games for other regions"

original wii firmware is it?
that could be your problem. all the games that work seem to be early games

Don't be afraid to update your firmware, it currently can't detect the wiikey.

Do the back ups work on your friend(or is there even a friend!?)

Just make sure you dont update with a foreign game

Help, I downloaded GCOS config 1.3 for the Wiikey in a desperate hope to get the 80% of my wii backups that don't work.. It did fix the gamecube games tho. However, when I turn on region override on, and reset console , the region overide is turned back off by itself??

I updated the wiis firmware with Eledees but that only crosses Eledees off the not working list but it doesn't help anything else?!
Ya.. hes pretty sure they all work altho he has a NTSC wii so he wasn't completely sure about the PAL games

I have my wiikey 1.9g, and latest firmware, I use only Verbatim DVD +-, ingburn at 4X, I stay away from NTSC's and the following of your list work fine for me..afair I used SMG to update the Wii firmware.
Someone else might expand on this but I think the thing about the 1.9g update was you have to have had your Wii firmware already updated, the 1.9g was purely to allow smG to play

Red Steel PAL
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption PAL
Super Paper Mario PAL
Trauma Center: Second Opinion PAL
Sims 2: Castaway PAL
Excite Truck PAL

i ordered a wiikey and was wondering does it come with software on it or do i have to put it on myself? and where can i download 1.9g seeing as the wiikey site is down

Just to confirm that I also have a wiikey installed with ver 1.9 and i have "backed up" the following games with no problems at all:

Metroid Prime
Table Tennis
Rayman 2
Driver
Mario
Sonic Rings
My Sims

I have a bunch more done but cant think of them right now. These are all PAL games by the way, I haven't tried NTSC games yet.
