Juz updated my Wii~! cool new features, especially like the slot LED, way kewl~!

Dammit, must update. 3.0 sial. When are they gonna give us DVD playback and upgrade the damn Photo Channel and it's limited to only 100 songs MP3 player!

dont think DVD playback is possible la sihum, IIRC the codec needs 2 get flashed into the chip...
Wah.. u use ur wii n TV as mp3 player ar?

EDIT: I'm starting to loading and ejecting a disc to see the slot LED glow... way kewl man~!

so with wiikey, can update all? no such problem bricking the wii?

cuz most sellers told me dont update. I dont what actually they trying to say, but I know that with wiikey, we can update the firmwares.

dont know laa maybe these people most laa not all.... only know how to sell, but dont know the hardware stuff.

Hmm.. wouldn't know about codec, but there was once a talk about the possibility of DVD playback.

Yep, TV is connected to an amp so decent sound comes out. Quality still intact.

I've tried Media Center X for Wii, it's good, but can only playback up to 10-15 minutes(roughly) before locking up FLV files only, so damn low quality, anime cannot see subtitles(very faint)..

So here's hoping for better updates, this update is still kinda kewl, can't wait to check out the digital clock. MAN, a clock! Why didn't Ninty put that in the first place?(DS main menu has clock too)

Ya hor... forgot about the clock... I was wondering too y isn't there a clock in the 1st place.. I always wanted 2 look at the menu for time... but always only got the date no time at all... LOL

1 more thing, y din't they put wat time we played the games in the msgs? only time spent and total time spent on the games.

EDIT: y not connect ur wii directly to the amp, so nonit to keep TV on all the time when playing.

Dunno leh, not that fully-fledged out yet with their features. With this new update, didn't I read they totally removed those messages?

Meh, didn't make much difference to me now, as I'm playing lotsa GCN games, and they don't record the time. 5 hours of GCN playtime, message says 1 hour spend on Photo Channel(for mp3) and nothing else.

As for Wii direct to AMP, lazy to split cable, somemore quite far apart the amp and Wii.

Oh icic... catching up on NGC games, too bad I dun hav a GC controller in my hands yet..

and the time spent msg thingie they change is, to another colour(white), so can differenciate from the msgs(yellow). and that the time spent msgs dun show up in the calendar, only those received or from games are shown.

then I guess u split the cables when u get ur new LCD TV la, its not good to leave LCD, burn away backlight life.

1. You'll also need Gamecube Memory Card Had to go hunting for one, and play Sunshine without saving, MANA BOLEH?!

2. Oh, it means they won't display those little mails on calender anymore(if it's time spend message). I get it now.

3. Really? Sounds like plasma to me After you telling me that, feel like sticking to CRT

Oh.. all TVs have their life expentency... but CRT is way too long to mention, so deemed virtually unlimited, plasma and LCD have their time, depending on brand of the panel/backlight and technology.

Difference with plasma and LCD, is that plasmas will get a burn in if anything on the screen stays static for a long time. LCD wont.

Uh I bought my jap set wii not long ago, but when I play mario strikers which I bought recently it loads the disc and there was some words then I click ok, then it sorta like download something...so I'm cool with it...

It then work fine but when I goto Wii settings I couldn't go in!
It comes out OPERA webpage could not load or sumthin'....

Anyone face this problem before?

Uh-oh, u got a semi-bricked Wii.

This post has been edited by Dragonflyz: Aug 7 2007, 05:06 PM

1) mario sunshine is a gem of a game!
2) how come my wii never ask me for an update?

i'm updating my wii right now. almost 2hours and still running. why the damn connection to nintendo server is slow-mo, not to mention the wii shop channel.

Finished downloading. Took me 30 minutes for the whole process to complete. The good news is now that i can connect to the wii shop. Previously I cannot connect to the wii shop at all. Now with version 3 it is all settle. Downloading Paper Mario now.

Hey guys.....are the modded Wiis bricked??

I have a modded Wii...but i only play ori games...i dont use fake....i promise...but will the Wii be bricked??

Oh darn...what'dya mean by semi-bricked wii?

What are the repurcussions?

Just get a Big Brain Academy game on the Wii...the NTSC region one...it will ask you for an update...say YES and the semi brick will be gone...AND throw your Mario Strikers away..it's gonna be useless..

Big Brain Academy which is the Japan version? Or the US version?

w00t w00t pls help

The one that's the same region as ur Wii.

Slot LED? You mean the place where we put in the disc actually lights up? What else is in the new update? I dun have wifi router so how do I do this (instead of bringing my wii to the seller for update)? If hv to bring to shop then I think I'll survive until end of this month laa without updates.

Man, this update is strange. First of, I never completed the download.

At first try, 20%, disconnected, return to Wii main menu. Try downloading again, this time 50%.. still cannot go..

Go back into system settings, version says 3.0U

Oh well, hope I didn't brick my Wii.

Can I know where can I get the best deal for wii ?

Thanks in advance!

if you r looking for original wii set. Go gamer hideout.

Ooh darn no wireless at home I cannot update my set...aigh sad sad

Can anyone confirm this? Update 3.0 support USB keyboard.

I can't wait to get back home today to try this features.

According to the comments there, they do work. But not for the internet channel, which would be great.

Looks like sending messages to friends won't be as short as 10 characters now.

woohoo~ done updating in 30mins. cool updates especially the clock and led. haven tried the others

Anyone knows any game that has the 3.0 firmware update?

Oh need 3.0j btw...

still got a semi-brick Wii??
IINM Mario Strikers hav the latest firmware b4 3.0, so... I guess u need to wait 4 another which has a newer firmware than that...
AFAIK, there's no recent games with updates, the latest MSC only.

he could also try and get online and update the firmware from there. im not sure if you could do it while not being a ble to go to the settings page - never updated firmware online b4

*btw, that guy modded his wii (which sounds innocent enough) and plays pirated games (mario strikers US)

the mod should ban him. this is a clear breach of rules

Quoted from Wikipedia: Nintendo Wii

A Nintendo spokesperson has announced that the company plans to release a version of the console with DVD-Video playback capabilities in 2007.[40] Even though software will be used to enable DVD-Video functionality, it "requires more than a firmware upgrade" and cannot therefore be implemented through the WiiConnect24 network.

I don't think the mod should ban anyone because he/she mods his/her Wii to play legit or illegal copy of GC/Wii games. We couldn't care less if they bricked their own Wii.

What we do care for is this forum.

See... forums are made of bits and bytes that need a persistent store. And the internet aren't a mesh of literal clouds that form by itself. This forum needs to be hosted on physical hardware such that we could spam to our hearts content. And to do that you need cash.

Now where do we get this cash to host the forum. It certainly didn't come from donation. It came from ads space posted everywhere on the forum and the main site. One prime example is the Intel ad smack right next to the lowyat.net's logo. So do you really think any reputable company would sink money on ads at this forum if it's filled with discussion on mod chips even though it's marginally legit?

Seriously, rules are in place for a reason. Please adhere.

so we cant talk about how we are playing illegal games now?

Added on August 10, 2007, 1:19 ammy point is, he mentioned how he utilized the modchip to play pirated wii games. should we let this kinda discussion go on in this forum?

This post has been edited by wild_card_my: Aug 10 2007, 01:19 AM

Actually that's true... we could care less who or anybody wants to become jack sparrow, but its just strictly no discussions about jack sparrow. But, my say la... help him repair brick Wii is ok, cause he used his money to buy it, he DID bought the Wii, albeit with a mod chip inside la~~

Added on August 10, 2007, 1:22 amActually he din said it was pirated, only region bypass to read english... not really about jack sparrow..

This post has been edited by Dragonflyz: Aug 10 2007, 01:22 AM

who are we talking about here???

I'm guessing Kerry...
If not, me lor~!

I thought me ...but i said nothing about jack sparrow games

This post has been edited by Hitman190: Aug 10 2007, 01:35 AM

i was refering to kerry. i guess he didnt say anything about mr sparrow's line of games, but i still think that he went down that path.

o well. nvm, lets drop the subject as of not to change the topic and not to talk about those games anymore.

You have something againsts me?

Seriously I know the rules and regulations in an online board discussion.

Did I mention that I purchased or playing any illegal games?

The only thing I remember posting was whether there was any games which has a 3.0j update.

Are you assuming something?

Added on August 10, 2007, 11:56 amWow wow wow...you sure do jump into conclusions doncha.

What makes you think I utilized the modchip to play illegal games?

Why don't you assume I utilize the modchip to play DIFFERENT REGION GAMES?

Do keep your false accusations to yourself, if you have so much time on your hand go do something more worthwhile.

No fighting peeps

3.0J update will most likely be in every new game after it's firmware release. And mostly likely in every Nintendo title.

Some people say Strikers has the latest firmware, but actually strikers was released before the 3.0 firmware was launched, so it's still 2.0. (IINM)

Hrmm..thanks Sihumchai, as far as I know not all games do carry the firmware updates am I correct?

Still new to Wii...so need some time to research.

I am using modded wii to play pirated, whats wrong? u guys anti that?

btw my question is can i update with modded wii?

same goes to xbox 360 modded can update?

I LOL at this guy's nick.

Yes, Low Yat Forums ARE anti piracy. Gotit?

To your questions: No, and no.

yeah getit and thanks

I don't understand why we help users who non-chalantly describe their use of pirated goods as if it's equal to the original product. Misinform them in the hope that they waste their money!

Well, I can't confirm you about that, but I do know that games w/ firmwares do prompt you to install the firmware after inserting the disc, according to what I read la.

No firmware, cannot play(?). Firmware, good, but Freeloader cannot use already

Edit:
You're welcome.

This post has been edited by sihumchai: Aug 10 2007, 04:11 PM

Err actually my point is whether there are games that carries the firmware update...so next time I can avoid those games which have a firmware update.

I do not want to end up buying a game which carries a firmware update of a different region for example. That way it'll brick it again.

And thanks for the partial solution.

if u mod your wii , i think now they comes with a thing that enable to u to revert back to your old firmware in case your wii is semi bricked after update .

Hrmm they do?

Perhaps I should go check it out...god knows what I'll do if my Wii gets bricked.

My poor mii's....

Aah forgot my courtesy pulak, thanks btw!

Download the manual via nintendo website.

I update my Wii to 3.0 but havent even tried using it since then!!! Those that are worry with Firnware have 2 choice: 1 support ORI, or just go update it on9 everytime before u insert a new game!

sorry if this is a old news ..

Holy crap, there's a new Wii coming out soon?

I juz got a msg from ninty, saying there's a new update addressing the bug for the LAN adapters. Apparently, the last update rendered them unusable. Update away guys~!

Note: not sure if its for all regions of Wiis

LAN as in wired connection? i thought the wii is wifi enabled out of the box?

It is, but for the people who do not(or do not want) own wireless routers, they can opt. for the LAN adapter.

ic ic... wired connection would be more stable no?

Should be. Seems more logical no?

But it won't help much for me le.. I'm using Wireless Jaring, sambung to, Wireless Router, sambung to, Wireless Wii.. In the end, data packets also sure putus putus wan

hhahahahh who ask you to be so high tech... wireless everything!

Oh... tat's y the laggyness.
Seems like ping rate is high with you~! young... erm... one?!

EDIT: Add-in.
Oh ya.. forgot to mentioned that the update also contains the bug fix for the crash in opera.

sorry for bringing this up....

i've just updated my wii to 3.0U....everything is ok....

my question is, what are these updates?? from the previous posts i read, some games cant be played if it's not updated?

i.e. if game A needs to be played with verion 3.0u, a firmware version of 2.2u can't be played?

right now i have played only call of duty and wii sport....everything seems to be ok...

those games doesn't need the 3.0 update

Usually only newer games requires new updates..that's it

These updates add neew features, bug fixes etc for your Wii...

like after update to 3.0 u can use a USB keyboard to type your Memos, and now there's a digital clock at your channel screen, and the drive blue light turns on or something when u slot in a disc...

the blue light is always there on my set.......even before i updated to 3.0u.....i was using 2.2u before this......

Really? Mine only blinked blue whenever there's online activity(receiving messages or the like). Only with the v3 patch did it blink when inserting discs.

i watch blu-ray movies in ps3.

wrong topic sorry.

Anybody have tried usb keyboard ... is there any specific keyboard or any usb keyboard would do ....

Yes i tried an USB keyboard. Its nothing special just one that i happen to have lying around (OK OK its meant for Frets On Fire on the laptop) and it works just like that.

Don't know if it requires specific keyboard or not, mind is kinda brandless...
