 wiiKey base v1.3 README
==========================

What's new?
=========================================
Version 1.3 of the wiiKey base system has an added configuration option 
for the full gc region free feature. It also incrorporates a new version 
of the wiikey dvdDump application.


Overview:
=========================================
wiiKey base combines various applications into a single bootable 
disc. This release includes:

 - wiikey configuration
 - wiikey dvdDump (dumps discs to sdcard)
 - some of the most popular gamecube homebrew apps:
 
	- SDLoad 1.0 by Costis
	- Snes9x 1.43 GX 0.5 Port by Softdev
	- GCOs MultiGame Version by emu_kidid
	- MFE Distro 1.0 by Isobel


Burn the image using any application capable of writing DVD disc 
images i.e. ImgBurn/Nero/CloneCD/cdrecord/DeepBurner/etc


Navigation:
============================================
For those without a gamecube controller, both the main menu and the 
disc dumper support navigation via the reset button. Pressing reset 
for a short time will move the cursor, holding the button for one 
second selects the current entry. The included homebrew apps require 
a gc controller naturally.



wiikey configuration:
============================================

Note:
For stealth reasons the current settings can not be read from 
the chip. That's why running the configuration will show the 
initial settings regardless of the saved setup. 


Region override      [ON/OFF]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Enabling this option will make the region of wii/gc games appear to
 be the region of your console, allowing you to boot games from other
 regions. Most NTSC wii games will work on US and JAP consoles. Many
 PAL games will run on NTSC consoles. For a more complete list see:
  
 http://wiki.gbatemp.net/index.php/Wii_Region_Patcher_Compatibility_List

Please note that Region override has to be activated for Full GC Regionfree.

Full GC regionfree      [ON/OFF]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boots GC imports directly using a small apploader hook to setup the 
correct video mode. 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.                             

Audiofix            [ON/OFF]	
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Enables fix for gamecube games using streaming audio. If you have 
 backups that are already patched with fstfix, you can disable the 
 option here. 

DVDR Discspeed      [3x/6x]	
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the default speed for recordable media. Fast or silent, you decide!
If you experience that your Wii resets itself when you start a disc on 6x, 
you might want to try it on 3x as well.
