WiiKey firmware 1.9b leaked

The WiiKey Team is sending out word that a new firmware update for their modchip is up and about online. Before you commence with the downloads, however, the team further explained that this update (version 1.9b) is not an official release - it was leaked. Here goes the announcement from the WiiKey site:

A leaked version of the WiiKey firmware update is available on several websites. While the leaked firmware is indeed working and has all of the announced features, it has not yet been fully tested and does not come with the configuration and recovery discs. A full version will be available from WiiKey.cn very soon.


Guys who have the WiiKey modchip (or its clones) loaded in their Wii are advised to stay sharp until the team releases their official version of firmware 1.9b. As the saying goes, better safe than sorry. Drop back again in case we sniff out an update in the near future.

Kudos goes to Ragnorok_Weapon for tipping us off regarding this news.

So in this update do the El Torito format gamecube discs work? I know Wii firmware 3.0 made them not work anymore but does anyone know if this will fix that? I didn't update to 3.0 because I had all my emulators on El Torito and didn't wanna lose them...

For 1st poster, yes this does fix all the problems 3.0 firmware created, and now supports all regions of gamecube games without needing to swap disks.

# Is WIIKEY just jerking our chains again?Guest 2007-09-04 16:44
By convincing you it was leaked, you actually believe an update will be available soon. The WIIKEY, in it's current state, is not for GC and therefore not for homebrew, which leaves it's likely user a pirate. Which leaves it very existence a criminal act.



A modchip that allows the user to run free license software thus enhancing the original hardwares abilities is a legal modification. To modify it solely for the purpose of aiding in the unauthorized use of software is simply illegal.



The only legal standing they have is that B.S. footer on their website that tells the excuse of the week as to why this update is finished but not but is but cant but can, oh just wait and wait and wait.........
