Try burning it once more, confirm its the right size and try again if it doesn't work, its a soldering problem because you cant get any Backups to work

Hey I had the same problem! It made a stupid 7mb ISO and would only give me the option to burn as a CD. Just delete the dumb iso and redo the .bat, it gave me a 4.5 gb file just now! I swear I just gave that a trya nd it worked about 30 seconds before I read your post!
Now if someone could just help me with my problem.......Wiikey backup loading help please!
all i want is a working modded wii...

Alright PEOPLE:
If you are sure that you installed the Wiikey correctly but cannot get your backups to work, then it might have to do with your media. The best DVDs to use are Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, and from what I heard Maxell. And make sure to burn with ImgBurn at 4X speed.

ATTENTION!!
SONY does NOT make dvdr's
MAXELL does NOT make dvdr's
IMATION does NOT make dvdr's
MEMOREX (god help us) does NOT make dvdr's
you play roulette when you buy a dvd as to it's maker
I got a 50 stack of Maxell DVD-R that are manufactured by Ritek
code F01 and found the same manufactured disks in a 100 stack of fujifilm. Ritek F01 disks work great and are the most common. I believe they are even found in Memorex -R disks.
late posting, but integral nonetheless.
Don't burn over 4X
Hope this helps.
Ritek does make dvdr's
Verbatim does make dvdr's
Tayo Yuiden does make dvdr's
You get any of those and you are getting 100% manufactured media by the brand tagged.
Stay away from CMC (if they still exist) and Ridata.
In bestbuy/futureshop all you're paying for is the name on the box. Goto blank media distributors for certified media.

Stay away from Ridata? You say Ritek is good, and I have Ritek Ridata disks...are those bad? I've been having a crapload of trouble with them.
How do you know the code on the disk? And that its F01 or G05 or whatever people say is good?
Where are blank media distributors? If I buy verbatim from Staples, im getting Verbatim right? Can you tell me if this disk should be ok?

Ridata is different from Ritek. To avoid confusion, go with those verbatim they'll work great.
Verbatim on the box is Verbatim on the disc.
If you use imgburn you may have gotten dvdinfopro with it as well. This program will give you the manufacturer and code for the disc you purchased.

I usually find blank media distro in a business district if you're in a major city. Otherwise online is a good place to go. Like I say. You won't find Maxell, or Memorex there, because they don't manufacture disks. They just put their label on there.
If you buy Verbatim anywhere, you are getting verbatim. period. they manufacture their own discs and stand behind their product. Shelf life is longer too.
Again don't burn over 4X. It's just safer that way. Actually, only burn at 4X because I even had a problem with a 2X burner. If a verbatim disc can't be read, it's your burn speed, or your chip. it's not the disc. so that can help narrow down a solution if you're having an issue.
Hope this helps. :)
(Also I've read Prince of Persia backup is not playable with a wiikey chip. I've also had no success with that game. Waiting for update.)

i went and got a 25 pack from bestbuy because i didnt want to wait, and burned one game, and it plays perfectly :)
the only thing is for the first time, it had some kind of verify error using IMGBURN. I came back after a while and saw this error message, cant remember what it said, but i just cancelled the process and the game was all burnt and ready to go. its probably not a big deal, but any ideas?
thanks! :)

I'm going to guess it tried to verify written data. Which is a task you can deselect before you start burning. Unable to read this data would cause that error screen. Because your PC can't read wii disks. (unless you have that specific LG DVDROM)

ah but, it never did that with my Ritek Ridata disks
It's no big deal. I thought I read about someone else having that problem too. as long as my games work, im happy. Any ideas for a D2C wii?

Mine's modded on a d2c board
I had to get a soldering pro attach to the d2c though after I exposed the lines.
YOu can also try a trace line pen
or a rear defog window paint and brush to use the copper paint and reconnect the legs. They're so close though.......

eh, hold up. Verbatim has many of their lines subcontracted to Taiyo Yuden (the originator of CDR). Not that Taiyo is a bad company, in fact it's probably one of the best. Verbatim is not ALWAYS Verbatim-made. A good quality disc to be sure, but your statement is misleading. It's a common practice for many retail-available CD/DVDR brands to basically rebrand someone else's product, and Verbatim is no exception. Taiyo Yuden would be the opposite, which is why their discs usually come in generic cupcakes with little more than a paper label -- most of their work is for other companies.

i would concur on this one. it would say "D2C" on the actual chip, I'm certain his probably was a D2B with the legs removed.

My mistake it's D2C with the legs cut.
Verbatim does manufacture their own brand of dvdr's Tayo Yuiden is rated above Verbatim for quality, but either manufacturer's is win/win. I myself have never encountered a Verbatim disc manufactured by any other. They could still be changing the code on the disc.
Bottom line is all other 'big name' companies are just stamping their label on the disc. Apparantly whichever is cheapest at the time. Recommending Maxell over Fujifilm or Memorex even is like recommending bacon over ham. That's the issue.

well, that depends since, at one point, taiyo-yuden actually was stamping discs for fuji. people were snatching those up like hotcakes because of the pricepoint.

Congratulations on missing the point entirely.
Issue: "I need a good quality disc I can rely on"
Answer: "Verbatim can be found in most stores and won't let you down."
pointless answer: "Sometimes fuji won't cuz Taiyo pressed for them. And sometimes some other sh*t company has a good manufaturer pressing for them. So research the net constantly and check for the high quality press in the cheap-ass label. Hope you don't get the wrong ones. Cuz sometimes you'll get a good batch, but not on the 50 stack, only on the 100 stack unless they're the printable tops then it's a different one and the lightscribe will.... WTF!!!!!!!" /end rant
unless you have actually owned a disc with the code pressed by a high quality manufacturer currently and can offer a present solution. Hold your "I heard" and "used to" comments. thx.

i'm just keeping you honest because you seem to like to present a lot of generalities that aren't exactly true. verbatim IS CURRENTLY using Taiyo-Yuden manufacturing for most of their lines, you can check out their stamping and coding to verify. Fuji did in fact have a long run of Taiyo-Yuden lines manufactured. The only problem there is that they mix manufacturers products together in the cupcakes. I HAVE owned a few cupcakes of them when they pressed. Taiyo-Yuden is the ONLY one who you can guarantee makes their own lines, no matter where you buy -- their only problem is fakes and the people hocking them. Ritek is the same with the lesser quality dye.
you talk about missing the point, but you are the one who decided to deviate from the topic with your rant about who makes what. I am correcting your statements so there are no misconceptions.
and blanket saying that verbatim is the best choice isn't accurate with regards to the wii. it should be one of your first choices for its manufacturing and quality control, but by no means the ultimate answer. as discussed before, we know they don't make ALL their lines. verbatim AND taiyo-yuden both have a RANGE of product lines from best to less-than-best.
