blindwrite at 18X speed and 100% playable ??? C O O L !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

satyx2000, yeah i've noticed some slow load times, super mario galaxy seems fine for me though, i've only noticed the slower speed during Bully, sort of slow loading up. Maybe a firmware update will give us some more drive speed, we can only hope, it'd be sweet to have at least 6x

billyhome, yeah on sony dvd -r's i overburned at 18x without issues, i'm using a sony sata burner too

will give sony a trial................ at 52X. lol

Hi!

I just installed a DriveKey into a D2E with no epoxy NTSC/UC. Install was a snap. Set jumpers to 1-OFF/2-ON (NTSC). Plays backups perfect, however, originals will not work. Silver drive cable in the WII. Tried disabling the DriveKey using the config menu (eject 3 times from Main Menu, pressed the reset key to highlight and disable drivekey), still no go.

My drivekey looks like the one of the left in the original post. I guess I'll either have to check with the distributor to see if the other key is available, or, try getting a WIIKey2+Clip instead, since I there is no epoxy on my chip.

Anyone else have any luck trying to get the originals working on a similar configuration?

Its related to the Wii ribbon cable.
If its silver then it will probably not read original discs.

Replacing the silver cable with an non-silver one makes the drivekey also read originals.

I have the left one (SO) and my wii has a silver cable. It wil not read orig games. Is this the solution? Do I have to replace this cable or can I swap the cables?

I believe you can buy the ribbon cables at Radio Shack, I'm not 100% sure on this.
I would take Console Specialist's advice on the solution of changing the siliver cable though, he deals with lots of chips and has tested it and it worked, so worst case is you change that silver cable out which really isn't hard to do and end up with a perfectly working Drivekey.
