Wiikey Config
I have hosted it on my site, as well as linked to other sources so we can all enjoy flawless performance on our WiiKey's! This works on genuine WiiKey's as well as certain clones. The firmware is the final 1.9s from the WiiKey team. Feel free to report any issues in this thread. WiiKey 1.9s Firmware and Config Disc (USA ONLY): WiiKey 1.9s Config and Firmware Discs (USA/JAP/PAL): Note you DO NOT need to update to previous firmwares first, you can update straight to 1.9s. Also be sure to get the correct firmware and config disc for your region.
Config disc is on wiikey.cn now. But after downloading it, I open it with IMGBurn and IMGBurn tells me it's an invalid ISO layout. WiiKey Base Disc The base 1.2 disc for the WiiKey is a DVD packed with application for Nintendo Wii consoles that have been modded with WiiKey Modchip. It's main purpose is to configure the WiiKey modchip settings.
Updating Firmware: To update the WiiKey, you need to burn the firmware disc for your region using IMGBurn or Nero. Simply insert it into your console and load it. It will detect as a GameCube game. Once loaded, it will prompt you to hit A to test. Once completed, hit A to load the next screen, and A again to update (it will warn you not to power off the Wii).
Once done it tells you to hit A, which will reboot the Wii. I am not sure if the reset button can be used for those who do not have a GameCube controller, but it was possible in previous updates. Config Disc Usage: Simply load the disc and select the options you want to use. Please note current settings are not displayed/saved in memory, so the settings the disc shows may not be what you have set up - simply set it, save it, and reboot, then your Wii is all set! Be sure to only use the disc for your region.
Reported Issues: -some GameCube Audiofix working inconsistently -if update blocker and dev mode are turned on some games may not run such as Mario Kart, Super Smash Brothers Brawl Enjoy!

Mar 26th, 2008 12:02 pmthanks for the great post. However, I'm such a newb at this, could you please let me know how to burn the update disc - I've read that you need imgburn program to do it, while others say just use nero, etc.
Also, can someone please confirm if the reset button on the wiimote can be used instead of gamecube controller. To burn the disc, you can use any program as long as it can burn iso files.
Recent Changes
I prefer imgburn myself. I haven't tried the update, but previous ones allowed for the use of the reset button instead of gamecube controllers.
