Wiikey bugs with audio streamed GC games.

I think it's ironic that the site that so heavily hyped the wiikey does not push the bugs the wiikey has. (wiinewz) They sure did allot of bashing of the Cyclowiz during the time the update was being prepared.

For those that do not already know, the wiikey cannot play ANY audiostreamed games from the GC properly. One of the listed features of this chip is the capability to do this automatically. There is even the capability to toggle it on and off.

It's obvious the makers of Wiikey did not test this feature. They could have played ANY one game that has audio streaming on the GC to see this issue.

There is NOTHING that I can see on the wiikey site regarding this issue, or any plans on fixing it. At least Cyclowiz owned up to problems they had.

So how do the wiikey fanboys justify this?

Hopefully the makers of the wiikey will announce plans to fix this issue.

What gamecube games have streaming audio?

I'm no fanboy, chose the wiikey for compatibility and upgradability.
But if what you say is true I am disappointed...

its been a while since the gc days but I think a few are, eternal darkness, waverace, starfox and 1080. there are more but I don't have a good memory on this manner

RE 0 & 4 IIRC

Lost Kingdoms - This one I am sure uses it.

Morden.

I'm playing RE0 right now and it's working flawless.

Yeah I don't think that game streams audio.

Wave racer, etneral darkness, and the ikarugua or whatever it's called (the oldschool shooter) are the three ones that I noticed with. I know there are a few other popular ones also.

There are others that stream audio also, just not as popular.

I have read that others have emailed the makers of wiikey with no responces.

Simply as this.... it's cause Cyclocheese-wiz cant solve their problems, so they have to mention it.

Do you mean, simple as this? And what exactly do you mean?

I didnt play any games that you mention with my Wii (wave race, ethernal darkness, ikaragua) beside ethernal darkness the others are not great games anyway.

And yes... like i mention before. When you know that u cant fix your problem(like cyclowiz) u better have to mention it on your site.

At least wiikey can solve them.

it's not that i'm a wiikey fan.....but i buy this one because for me it's look like it was the best.....and i have nothing bad to say about this chips for now....all that i'm throwing at just work flawless (wii backup, gc backup, Gba games, snes games, multidisk dvd....)

thought the app FSTfix 1.5f solved these problems for gamecube stuff
either the old fashioned command prompt version (FSTFIX_v1.5f) or the GUI version (wiped gcm fixer GUI)

This seemed to solved a lot of troublesome GC iso problems of streaming and ensures that gcm's or GC iso's were padded correctly to the proper size (1,459,978,240 bytes or whatever it is)

Helped fix a few titles for xenogc owners as well as Viper/Qoob owners too

But Cyclowiz, did fix their issues. So I am not sure what you are refering to.

And wiikey has not fixed anything yet, everyone touted how well the wiikey works when it has obvious bugs.

It was sold as a chip that can be quick soldered. (yeah right)
It was sold as having audio fix capabilties on GC games. (Does not work)

At this point the Cyclowiz (and the wiinja/wiinja deluxe? - not sure) is the only chip that really offers quick solder solution and works with all WII and supports GC with audio fix.

So I am not even sure what you are going on about.

And yes there is a tool to modify ISO's to work around the audio fix. But from what I recall it still is not 100% (At least back when you needed to do it with the Cobra, there were still audio glitches which were annoying)

i did mine quicksoldering

So I am not even sure what you are going on about.

Let me remind you that's it's you who came posting bad things about the wiikey...so maybe your the one who's a fanatic of cyclowiz.


ok enough badmouthing.....you are happy with your chip and i'm happy with mine....so let just be happy of what we got and enjoying it instead of jurking the other chips

Great, you either had to use wire extensions (2+mm of wire from the PCB) or you bridged solder over 2 mm's of wiikey PCB which is not very reliable.

The board is almost 3 times thicker then the Cyclowiz and only has copper on the topside of the PCB on 4 of the connections. (I have a wiikey)

Post a pic of you soldering job if you don't mind.

Hey I am just posting the truth.

If you can't handle it, there are other posts to troll in.

yes briged the chips to the Wii.....but the job was done under 5 minutes

ok enough badmouthing.....you are happy with your chip and i'm happy with mine....so let just be happy of what we got and enjoying it instead of jurking the other chips.

But next time...please support your chips instead.
