Well, at least it looks like your trouble is with WBFS manager then. I'm pretty sure it uses .net framework so make sure that's all updated and such.

Ashen do you think this switch is good for the GC lid switch? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062543

I ask this because I still can't get it to work, and thats the only thing I could think of thats wrong. If it is the wrong kind of switch, which switch should I get?Can you give me a link?Preferably radio shack.
Thanks,
Nuke

That kind of switch will only work if its normally closed... Meaning that it makes the connection all the time until the switch is pressed then momentarily breaks the connection.

this is the type of switch I recommend:

wire to the "C" and "NC" leads.

Ashen, I actually used that switch for the other one, the wii lid sensor. I'm gonna get that switch tomorrow. Until then.... Also that momentary switch, it is a normally closed switch.....

So I finally re-wired my Wiikey and now the gamecube power light clicks on and then off with it connected; as soon as I disconnect the wiikey though, it boots up fine as if it has no disk drive.

Any ideas?

I still have this problem, and I can get a picture if it would help.

This means you have a short somewhere involving your wiikey wiring. Possibly the ribbon cable not being lined up.

Essentially, one of your ground wires is touching a wire that has voltage/data going through it.

Yes... VERY BAD for your Wiikey. :/

Okay, so I've made sure every wire is seperated and trimmed a bit of some of the wires, and now the light stays on ~4x as long, but still no video, and it still doesn't stay on.

2 questions: do all the ground need to be bridged on the breakout board? and how does my soldering look?

Did you even bridge the grounds?
