Drivekey sits on the bus between the Wii motherboard and the DVD drive. It transparently monitors all data transmitted. When a backup disc is inserted DriveKey emulates an original game disc by transmitting and patching necessary data. DriveKey has full control and can read the entire DVD media.
Configure DriveKey
Remove DriveKey from it's packaging and switch the dip-switches as follows:
Open Your Wii
With a tri-wing screwdriver, remove the Wii cover, exposing the
DVD drive.
Disconnect the DVD drive
Lift the hinge and gently pull out the cable from the
DVD drive
Connect the DVD drive to DriveKey
Insert the included cable gently
(pins face down) into
both the DVD drive
and DriveKey (at
the end marked
"DVD") and
close the hinge.
Connect the Wii to DriveKey
Insert the cable previously removed
from the DVD drive
into the other end
of DriveKey (at the
end marked
"Wii") and close
the hinge.
Insulate DriveKey, close your Wii cover & enjoy!
Stick the included DriveKey PVC sticker (or a few strips of insulating tape) over DriveKey to keep it out of contact with the chassis, replace the DVD drive and close the Wii cover. You will now be able to play backups (copies) of your favorite Wii titles as well as imported originals from other regions! It's as easy as that!
