I have a US wii with a D2A chip and i am waiting to receive my WiiKey. Will i have any problems or have to worry about bricks playing normal US Wii games and US wii back ups. I see all these post about pal and Jap and what not and SMG not working. If i play any jap game it will be Naruto EX2. I dont download so i dont have to worry about wrong regions becuase my games will all be bought in america. I have firmware 3.1U. i just want to know if i made a mistake getting the WiiKey.

Firmware 3.x made it slightly more difficult to update/config your WiiKey, to get around this some smart people came up with two methods,
P.S. you really should look around more before posting, some people are more sick of this than me (quite deservedly so) and would not of been so nice about it.
