WiiKey Firmware 1.9b Leaked
WiiKey's much anticipated 1.9 update has been leaked in beta form.  So far there is no word on an updated configuration disc, but existing 1.2 Config discs are now working with this firmware update.  This is confirmed working for NTSC and PAL Wii's, with authentic and cloned WiiKeys.
WiiKey.cn released this offical statement regarding the leak:
[08-09-03] Wiikey update 1.9b
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.

| Boots GC imports directly using a small apploader hook to setup  |
| the correct video mode. To enable this feature use the new      |
| config disc (1.3). Make sure you also enable the basic region    |
| feature, thats what gets you through the wii menu in the first  |
| place. Unlike a real GC, the NTSC Wii doesnt output PAL50. That  |
| means the game may run but theres no picture. PAL60 games will  |
| work, however you need to enable it. The common way to bring up  |
| the "use PAL60?" dialog on a game is to hold B while booting.    |
| Forcing to NTSC may work as well. PAL consoles output NTSC just  |
| fine.                                                           |

RE: WiiKey Firmware 1.9b Leaked
You unzip the file, choose the correct ISO for your region (JPN, NTSC, or PAL), and burn it to a disc (edit: DVD disc).  Insert into your Wii and play it (the Wii thinks it is a Gamecube disc).  You can use a GC controller or the reset button to run the program (short press = A, long press = next/down).  It's pretty straight forward.

RE: WiiKey Firmware 1.9b Leaked
so, you have to put a chip in your Wii and then install this update? Sounds too complicated for me. Plus since the update was leaked I don't believe that it should be downloaded. You never know what people put on files like that...
Help bring Tatsunoko vs Capcom to us!

RE: WiiKey Firmware 1.9b Leaked
Yes, or purchase a wiikey with the new update already on it. That's how things go! The computer you guy today won't have the update that comes out next week!
WiiKey even confirmed that this beat is working. Heck, I can confirm it's working. The only reason this is making so much news is because (A) it's been forever since WiiKey gaves us a firmware update, and (B) since Nintendo updated to 3.0, we haven't been able to use our config discs.

There will likely never be a soft mod, so just get a modchip and quit whining.
Goddamn it, Anonymous, you pack of oddballs.
