Wii #0330 - Super Mario Galaxy (USA)

Does this mean that if one were to buy this game it wouldn't run without using the update on the disc? And if so it would brick your Wii?

Damn... cause I was actually planning on buying this but not if it's going to kill my Wii.

If this is a new trend for Nintendo games then I guess I won't be buying anymore Wii games, only waiting until they are cracked. That really sucks.

I guess I could hope for a WiiKey update to allow playing of them, but who knows if that will come.

The update will not affect your ability to play the backups you already have, as mentioned a trillion times already in this thread. There is no harm in purchasing and playing the original.

Sorry I actually copy pasted this from another thread but forgot to proof read :/

I actually know it won't kill my Wii, but if it DOES mean I won't be able to play anymore new originals due to increased protection then that kinda sucks. I like owning games that I really like. Mario Galaxy was one. Having a collection made up completely of backups kinda takes away the value of the games you're playing (if you know what I mean).

There will be no update for Wiikey. All drivechips write value 0x41 to the DVD RAM, and that's what Nintendo checks for.

D2CKey works only because Nintendo didn't know about it in time. Next big release I'm sure we'll see D2CKey fail as well.

The D2CKey team shouldn't be boasting, since they're responsible for WiiKey.

Can't find the proper anywhere..Almost starting to think it's fake but I don't know...I still have hope.

Super Mario Galaxy + D2CKey = True! - 2007-10-29

Various sites are reporting that backups of Super Mario Galaxy are working with D2CKey, but not with any other modchips! We have tested a backup of the USA version of SMG and can confirm that it does in fact work on the USA NTSC Wii with D2CKey. The USA version of SMG will not work on other region consoles, but we are confident that backups of other region versions of the game will work on other region consoles. We will post more news about this as soon as we can obtain original game discs from the other regions to test.

if people dont stop flaming each other over such a pointless thing then we are going to start banning them
it's only a game and if you want to play it that much wait until retail date and buy it

 

[katsuce]

again, as it has been mentioned already, the original game runs fine on a modded wii

 

[robstu]

are you stupid? its fake

 

[alucard_xs]

the "proper" version is a fake !!!!! I mean it's just the normal version.

Ok guys, let me summarize all we know:

1. This is a disc-based check, not a firmware check. All of your old backups will still work, and will probably work forever.

2. You can still play authentic Wii games on your Wii, including future new games.

3. You never know, there may be a way to circumvent this like the way you can circumvent firmware updates.

I think, we can play the Game on D2B Boards with Wiikey! Keep CooL, coz theres no Proper Release to Download and to Test it.... I think, that PROMiNENT has a D2B Wii too! xD

Just Wait, until an working Release is released!

EDIT/ If the Copy detects the Chip, Why doesnt the Original detect the Chip!? Its all over an Big Fake, the biggest One in the Web!!! Release is on 16.11 (USA), but Japan Release is on the 01.11. It would make sense that an japanese Release got leaked and not an USA! So its the Whole Time the Crap Demo!

 

[KINGOFNOOBS]

Meh, oh well. So I guess that I get all games from up to this point free. And I'll have to pay for Galaxy and Brawl, since those are the 2 last Wii games I'm getting. (Unless a hack comes out hehe).

"I think, we can play the Game on D2B Boards with Wiikey! Keep CooL, coz theres no Proper Release to Download and to Test it.... I think, that PROMiNENT has a D2B Wii too! xD " -> well ... did you read all the thread ?

 

[ddrrmm]

aw damn this sucks, and people who are saying "you should buy the game" get outta the thread we're all here for another reason besides buying the game...at least for now

 

[Bob Loblaw]

are you stupid? its fake

Are you calling me stupid right after djgarf said no flaming?
How do you know it's fake?

And the "Proper being the original version" doesn't make sense. A proper release is a re-release of a non-working release that now works Proper-ly.

Sure and God exists.

 

[Phange]

Someone explain something to me...

If you're running a legit copy of a game, most drive chips don't even turn on, right? So, it might as well not even be connected to the Wii?

 

[malacai]

as i said before.. THERE IS NO PROPER PRE´ED..so its 100% fake
