 |------------------------------------------------------------------|
 |                                                                  |
 | "wheres teh update?"                                             |
 | ----------------------                                           |
 | right...first off, we like to apologize for the long wait. we    |
 | understand that some people have been very upset about it. all   |
 | we like to say is that the truth is often a bit more complex     |
 | than what people make up on forums, and shit happens. anyways,   |
 | those that didn't die of accumulated anger...                    |
 | welcome to wicked wiikey update!                                 |
 |                                                                  |
 |  so what's new ?                                                 |
 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                           |
 |  - audiofix fixed o_0                                            |
 |  - dual layer support (no bitsetting required)                   |
 |  - improved media support (all supported chipsets)               |
 |  - full Gamecube regionfree (no-swap/video setup)                |
 |  - various "smaller" improvements/fixes                          |
 |  - workaround for FW 3.0 gameid limitation                       |
 |    (existing wkb 1.2 discs will boot again)                      |
 |  - "on the fly" settings for gc games (by holding buttons)       |
 |       - toggle audiofix, diskspeed, force NTSC/PAL               |
 |                                                                  |
 |------------------------------------------------------------------|
 |  Full GC Regionfree                                              |
 | ---------------------                                            |
 | 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.                                                            |

 |                                                                  |
 | Flashing the update                                              |
 | -------------------                                              |
 | The update ISO is located in update/wkupdate.1.9b.xx.iso, where  |
 | xx responds to a region, ie us, jap, or pal. To burn the image   |
 | to a DVD-R, it should first be padded as many DVD recorders will |
 | not burn the image in its original size correctly. This can be   |
 | by executing the following command (assuming you are in the      |
 | update/ directory): filechop.exe wkupdate.1.9b.xx.iso 1459978240 |
 | where xx corresponds to your region. This will create a 1.4GB    |
 | image which can be recorded using Image Burner or other software.|
 |                                                                  |
 | The update disc should appear as a Gamecube disc in the Wii menu.|
 | Once started, it will start by performing a test flash cycle,    |
 | during which nothing will be written to the chip. Once this has  |
 | completed successfully you will be prompted to start the update. |
 | When the update is in progress it is VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO TURN  |
 | OFF THE CONSOLE!!! Once the flashing is completed you will be    |
 | notified. Press reset to reboot your Wii with the new firmware!  |
 | After updating the EEPROM is set to default, ie regionfree off.  |
 | You will need to run the config disc to set up region free.      |
 |                                                                  |
 |                                                                  |
 | Final words                                                      |
 | ------------                                                     |
