NSMB fixed on DriveKey!
Posted on 26th November 2009
We have fixed the NSMB issue in DriveKey. The updated firmware will be in all chips shipping from Monday 30th November. We will also be providing an update for existing DriveKey owners, which will be released as soon as the JTAG programmer is ready. In the near future we will also publish a standard for appending BCA data at the end of the ISO image, so that any new game with this new protection will work without any update of the chip. The actual game ISO will remain unmodified.

Sporadic issues relating to original game discs
Posted on 9th March 2009
Over the last few days, we have been made aware of a problem affecting a small number of DriveKey chips in circulation. This problem only affects DriveKey chips with a W3 diode (next to the LEDs) when installed in a Wii with a silver drive cable. If you are able to play backup game discs but not original game discs, you may be affected. Please contact your point of sale for details on how to proceed and rest assured that the DriveKey team are 100% committed to solving this issue for everyone.
