So I soldered the wiikey in using the more beginner friendly wire-to-chip bridge method. Afterwards, I downloaded and burned the WiiKey 1.2 bootloader, changed my settings to ignore region, saved settings, then rebooted.
I then tried some authentic discs, they work great.
I then tried a downloaded copy of Resident Evil 4 and burned it (burned on Fujifilm DVD-R @ 2x). When I insert the disc, it is read and the Resident Evil 4 backdrop comes up when you select the disc with the whole "evil sounding" chime too! (yes!)...
...however, when I click "Start", the screen goes black and then says the Disc cannot be read.
Do I have a bad WiiKey? Bad Soldering technique? Bad Media? I just would like to know which problem would MOST LIKELY be the reason!
I have the black screen problem after start too. (About 3 months)
I find it on about 25% of the disks I burn; (changing speeds / DVD brands) give no real change! I am putting it down to the wiikey, is not helping the wii to finish the loading process.
I?m holding my breath for the wiikey v1.3 update to fix this.
* P.S. The wii?s dvd drive is designed for DVD-R disks!!! *

"different results"??? What do you mean?!
IF I GOT DIFFERENT RESULTS FROM BURNERS I WOULD BE WORRIED.
But to try something new, so.. I tried burning some ISOs' that were not working in my wii with another drive but got identical results.
It should be noted that I always verified the disks after burning
+ I have GC ISOs' that work in Dolphin but when in the wii they just goes black after start :P Same as wii games. so it's not the ISOs.
Before downloading... i recommend you ask yourself why you downloading a 2.5/10 rated game!
Personally i have more fun downloading a virus cuz at least more fun playing with my virus scanner.
