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. It will be fun to see if the 'dynamic reviews' out there gets a positive score update or if we are headed for another flamewar. ;) Read on for official NFO and screenshot...

| "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 ? |

| 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. |
