I only got this when I played Wii resort sports. It just shows the main Screen then When I click start it turns black. My other games work. I really want this game to work.
@pyro707: Wii Sports Resort plays perfectly fine on my PAL Wii with DriveKey and Wii System Menu 4.1E. Please provide some more info about your setup (Wii region? System Menu version?). Also, which region version of the game are you trying to play? Please make sure you have an unscrubbed and otherwise untouched version of the game to make it easier to troubleshoot.
@dbrocki: In addition to answers to the questions asked by bsmalley23 above, please provide some more details about your setup and the games you are trying to play, too.

I have the same problem man, and tell me this, do you have an ntsc wii? i bet you do, if you don't know what an ntsc wii is, its a certain region like canada or usa, i seem to not be able to play ANY pal games, so my guess is you downloaded all PAL games (pal being another region) so what you need to do, is if you want a game you need to get an ntsc or USA version of it.
sorry but up there i mentioned i couldnt play pal games, so ya, im ntsc.
annnd i think those three maaay be the only ones... ya pretty sure there the only ones ive tried.
and no i don't have any softmods i don't know how, or what i need... if you could tell me what i need and where i could get it and maybe what the point is, id go buy one.
No, I mean the version number of your Wii System Menu. Is it 3.4 or 4.0 etc.?
One common cause of cross-region games not working is that DriveKey (correctly) blocks the Wii's attempt to update the system menu from the game disc, in order to prevent the Wii from bricking. This causes the Wii to hang at a black screen. This particular issue can be solved by updating the system menu to the latest version (currently 4.1) either by wifi or from a new in-region game disc.
