DriveKey not reading disks.

So I installed the Drivekey, no problems. Set the switches to USA/Canada.

However, the doesn't recognized games I downloaded. I've tried 3 now and none work.

I can get to the Drivekey Menu and the settings are right. The games I'm playing are US and so is my Wii.

I'm using Memorex DVD+R dvds and ImgBurn to burn. I also used Wiu1.1 to region code and brick block it.

Any help would be appreciated.

what system is your wii, meaning 3.2/3.3/3.4/4.0? if you have any version higher than 3.2 your downloaded games are most likely scrubbed and will not play. scrubbed only play on system 3.2 or lower, scrubbed games are still 4.37gb they are just trucha signed. also memorex dvd+r are no good. they did not work for me with imgburn. im not gonna tell you like everybody else to go buy top notch verbatim or the other expensive types. just try a different brand and get dvd-r. i use hp and sony dvd-r and they work perfectly fine, i would recommend sony over the hp though. burn speed should be 4x-6x. the slowest my sony discs will burn is 6x and they work fine.

If you want to use DVD+R media, you have to set the booktype to DVD-ROM when burning the disc. This is described on the DriveKey homepage, too (look under How it Works).

I got some DVD-Rs (unfortunately Memorex) to try. I remember reading about that in another thread, it just completely slipped my mind.

i havent tried memorex dvd-r's yet, but i know memorex dvd+r even burnt with booktype dvd-rom were not any good for me, but may work for you, because many variables go into burning even the type of burner. my external HP dvd1040 will not burn onto my HP discs but my internal hitachi will and they work fine. i do believe if you have a current version, imgburn automatically sets the booktype to dvd-rom for dvd+r discs. you can verify the booktype if you insert a game you burnt and scroll down in the disc information section under to where it says:
Physical Format Information (Last Recorded):
Disc ID: SONY-D21-00
Book Type: DVD-ROM

thats an example of one of my sony dvd+r, i burnt mario kart on it @ 6x and it plays flawless.

Update!!!
Switched to DVD-Rs and all is well on this issue. I'm 5/5 on playing downloaded iso's.

Thanks to everyone for all your input.
