Default Modding a Wii ISO for successful playback

*** NOT A PIRACY THREAD, DONT DELETE ***

OK, I own the original of Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii. I produced a backup aaages ago, but doesnt work due to the "unauthorised device detected #001" error.

Now I can get round this, and update the firmware in the chip I use, but I have read places there is a file that can be replaced in the ISO that will eradicate this issue.

My Wii games always get fooking scratched at parties and would rather keep them locked away and use a 15p disk instead!

Any ideas, or have I got to get the screwdriver out again

Thanks VERY much matey, but I do have it

But apparently it DOESNT work with brickblocker...

Its the 'MAIN.DOL' file that resides in the original archive that needs replacing, amongst a few other things.

and then the partitions in the ISO need re-certifying, for want of a better word!

Thanks tho mate

Yeh I have the Cyclowiz, although when I plumbed in the chip, I only did the bare necessaties to get it working, as the contacts were bloody small LOL

Its an extra 3 wires I need to solder if I want to have the firmware update function via DVD.
