I bought in Canada, June 30th, 2007. I have D2B chipset and no three legs missing.
However I have same problem as with lot of posters here. I installed original Wiikey bought from consolesource.com all the solders are fine, I tested for short and connectivity with meters, every connection seems okay. but it doesn't paly any backup or setup dvd. I burned on Maxel +r as well as Maxel -R, tried both 8 and 4 speed to burn the disk. But none of the burned backups are working.

is the D2C phenomenon a Canadian thing or i will also experience the same thing with a us wii
i know it might sound stupid but how do i go about getting the right wii with the right chip i guess nothing is at 100% until i open but how do i maximize my chances?

Thanks for your help.
^%*^% Its the D2B I have with the legs cut off! After all that effort lol.
I dont trust myself to cut into the chip and do such fine solder work. I'll have to research more to see what pro's are available here to do the work.

Hi All,
After installing wiikey, my wii can' t read any original dvd, either the setup disk 1.2.
- the wiikey was solder by a pro, he double check it sgoudl be ok.
- my wii is old version, after checking the serial number, it should be able to support the wiikey.
- The wiikey was purchased in a official retail shop.
After removing my wiikey, the disk can be read again!
So I dought I haven't burn correctly my setup disk, I use verbatim DVD-R x8. But I already remove my wiikey, is it possible to check if the 1.2 setup dvd is working without wiikey?
Thank You,
Jackoko

Without WiiKey , the Wii console will not read any backup , so , is not possible to check if the 1.2 setup dvd is working .
What zone is your Wii (usa , eu , jap ) ?
Is your setup-cd at the same zone ?
Are you making the corect settings (all zone = on) ?
Did you saved the settings ?

You can make the settings after install the wiikey , with the SETUP DISC ( http://www.wiikey.cn/resources.html ) . Insert the DVD and save the settings ... you will need a gamecube controler (joystick).
You can't make the settings before burn the DVD (not cd), just after , in the wiikey menu !

i'v been reading the forum and unfortunately i can't find an answer to my problem or i'v overlooked a discussion.
problem is that when i try to load an import game the wii will recognize the game in the disk channel but when i click start button the screen turns black and the wii "freezes". aka screen stays black, controller shuts off, wii doesn't respond to shutting the power off or reset button. have to pull the power plug and restart.
more than confident in the soldering job cuz a pro did it. v1 wii. config disc works. turned region override on. saved setting. reset wii. recognizes game but doesn't play, as stated above. the game is japanese import: Naruto Shippuuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX for the wii, game brand new out of package. theory is that it's a clone? or that the game isn't supported?
if this isn't the right thread for this (because i haven't seen anything on import discs) point me in the right direction

mate, did you recently upgrade your Nintendo Wii?
If the settings you choose with wiikey config disc doesnt stay saved, it means youve got a wiikey clone..
if the screen turns black when loading, you most likely got an wii upgrade through internet that withstands the modchip your using..
the only update I know which is safe is System 3.0E, this works with both Wiikey (original), Cyclowiz v2 and Wiid.. tried on all the different systems.. but if you upgrade above 3.0 and you cant play burned games any longer this means you just have to wait for a modchip/bios upgrade which can handle the new firmware.. the cat and mouse game continues..
if you didnt upgrade your system firmware, and all your other burned games works, then I guesse there must be something wrong with the patching of the game, OR.. it falls under the less 30% of oposite-region games that doesnt work with the chip :) I dont think 100% compatibility with other regions have been succeeded with any modchip for wii yet..
Hope that answered some of your questions :)
Best Regards,
Your Favorite Pastor

i'm not sure how to check what version of the update i'v downloaded. but i upgraded it yesterday. a problem might be that i bought the chip in may and its too "old", like you said the update is too new for the chip, could be a clone. either way sounds like i should get a new one. now the question is what is the most reliable site to buy it from?

Cyclowiz v2 is the best chip I know :) it supports different kinds of firmewares as well as it has an on/off button..
good luck :)
test other backup/games, do they also blacken out?

havent seen any, but you never know.. I reccomend divineo.cn to buy Cyclowiz v2 :) I live in Norway they live in China, I get it in 2-3 days with FedEx Express..
You burn backups of wii games on DVD-R discs with Nero or Clone CD.. if your backup file ends with .wii you need to unscramble it first.. with Wii Unscrambler, if it ends with .iso then your safe to burn your backup :)

PastorT, edit your sig to conform to forum specs ASAP. yours is 192 pixels tall
4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.

Hey, I got a WiiKey clone about a week ago and can't run the updates from wiikey.cn (EU Wii)
It reads the DVD, but it doesn't work. I get an error saying to remove the disk and restart the Wii
Also, after installing the WiiKey, original DVDs stopped working. I backed a game up and it worked, but not all backups do.
The most recent update I tried was the 1.1, the one that doesn't require a GC controller and I got the same error.
Any ideas?

Hi~ First time posting here.
After looking throught 3 different forums and reading everything about wiikey, I still couldn't find the exact answer that I'm looking for (and yes I used search engine). I'm sure it's been answered but I still have few things I'm confused about where I could fully understand.
I have 3.0 upgraded US version of Wii, and I installed wiikey(g)and I think I did pretty solid job connecting all connections.
=====================================================================now here's problem
The Original Wii game works after installation. (Fyi)
-I understand upgrading to 3.0 is giving people trouble, but there's 1.9 update avaliable(which I have)
-I made 1.2b config set up disc and it's showing up as GameCube Disc and when I click on it, it gives me an error and ask for reset.
-I downloaded homebrewed GC boot disc and made the GC boot disc(Nero 2x speed) but it won't read that boot disc.
So what step am I missing? Is it bad install? and how do you update 1.9 wiikey if it's CD iso and it won't read any type of CD.
ANY help would be benediction. thank you in advance.

being that you have the 3.0 Update you can't boot the WiiKey update disc anymore reguardless 1.9 or not drop that out of the equation. If you would like to boot that WiiKey config disc then you will the GCOS boot disc. That should be the only disc you have troubles with being its posted everywhere lol but glad you posted in the correct thread. What you need to do is get a Back-Up wii ISO or GC ISO and play that if they boot up your install was correct and you can forget about the WiiKey update unless you need a region override.

If I understand it right, you cant use the updates on the clones. Welcome to the world of going cheap. :)

you are wrong in two things there.
1. I have heard of clones that have been updated fine.
2. People may pay the full prices thinking they get an original wiikey and instead they may get a clone. (like me)
