Okay, so.
Week or two ago, wiikey decided to spaz the *Can'tSayThisOnTV* out. Gamecube didn't even boot a couple times. After booting it up once while holding both the "eject" button and the "lid sense" button, it booted up and started working again.
Course now, I still had to push the button quite a few times to get it to load gclinux.
Then, a few days ago, the wiikey quit working all together. I tried everything, I knew my wiring was good, checked all the switches, all sorts of sd card formatting, etc.
Nothing was fixing it.
I decided even though it had worked plenty of times before with the "eject" switch on just ground and pin 29, hooking up 1.9v might be what the wiikey needs. One added wire, once pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant button press?
Ta-da. Wiikey works everytime I press the button, first try. Pretty Dang happy about that.
I suggest that, if you know your wiring is good, the blue light flashes in sequence with the "reading disc" message, you know your SD card is compatible and formatted right, and you can't get your WIikey to work?
Try this next.
I suppose it could have something to do with the Wiikey itself, or it's compatibility with this cube. I never had this problem with my last cube, it might have something to do with the board revision because the IPL on this one is the same as my last working one.
