WiiiKey update: Firwmare 1.9b, and Config disc 1.3

Posted Sep 26, 2007 at 9:12AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Wii Tags: GameCube, modchip, WiiKey

Thanks to a tip from reader jamie t uk, we've just picked up word that there are a couple of new updates available for Wii owners running on a WiiKey modchip. The first bit of news you'll want to know is that WiiKey's firmware 1.9b has been uploaded to the site's Resources section.

This update hosts several new tweaks, including bug fixes, a workaround for Wii firmware 3.0 issues, improved media compatibility, full GameCube region free capabilities, and a working audiofix. Now, for the guys who decided to jump the gun and download the previously leaked fw 1.9b, you'll be happy to know that the dev team tested it, and found it to be stable.

Furthermore, WiiKey owners will be happy to know that WiiKey's Config Disc 1.3 is now available. This latest release will enable the GC Full Region-free feature on WiiKey's fw 1.9b. Both fw 1.9b and Config Disc 1.3 are available in the WiiKey site, via the read link.

Nice job on the anti-piracy stance, QJ.

hey, surley qj should report about it. just having a modchip does not always mean the person is using pirate games. i have a wiikey for the region free gc. nintendo would of saved them selves a lot of sh.it had they made the wii region free in the first place.
