First off, I'd like to state that any discussion about "burned" copies of Brawl should entirely be considered a backup of a legally purchased copy.

Also, this topic is more about requesting help with my Wiikey concerning Brawl, but I wasn't sure where else I should put it. If this is a violation in any way, please feel free to lock the topic.

Now, here's my problem. I've been playing Brawl for 4 days now using my Wiikey. My Wiikey firmware is 1.9g and I was using the 1.2 setup disc.

I transported my Wii back home and hooked it up. I booted my Wii up, and Brawl was there in the channel menu. I booted up Brawl, but I got a disc read error and had to shut off my Wii.

Now nothing burned works at all. Brawl doesn't work, nor do any of the setup discs. I've tried all types of DVDs, burned them at all different speeds, and even tried different firmware discs. Nothing is even read on my Wii. Actual Wii and Gamecube games work fine, but not backups.

The only thing that changed from the last time I was playing Brawl and now is that it was unplugged. The soldering could not have come undone, especially considering Brawl was recognized when I first booted up my Wii and it stopped working.

Now I don't know what to do. All signs point to my Wii being semi-bricked, where it won't read burned DVDs, but I just have no idea how that could work. The only other thing would be that the modchip just simply stopped working.

Does anyone with any extensive knowledge of Wiikeys have any advice, or could anyone at least tell me what happened?

If someone could actually help me get my Wii working again, I'll absolutely paypal them a good chunk of cash for their efforts. My AIM is Shigeru Miyamoto. Please reply here or contact me on AIM.

Thanks so much Brawl community,

~Dac

You think so? Where would a topic like this belong?

A few Smashers suggested I ask Smash boards about this problem. I was a little wary at first, but I don't think this post violated anything.

Who told you smashboards was a place to discuss how not to buy a copy of Brawl ??

I made a thread weeks ago warning people not to get their Wiis modded. That thread got locked.

Sounds like a semi-brick if it's effecting other burns besides Brawl. Try patching an .iso with WiiBrickBlocker. You'll most likely have to wait for the next firmware upgrade to fix it. Hope I'm wrong though.

And pirating and haxxing is bad.

Now I don't know what to do. All signs point to my Wii being [un-modded and back to it's factory abilities], where it won't read burned DVDs, but I just have no idea how that could work. The only other thing would be that the modchip just simply stopped working.
Fixed.
