Can anyone tell me how exactly I'm supposed to burn this Wiikey update? Once extracted the .iso is only 6 MB. Do I have to patch it with some sort of program first so it creates the correct size?

The update is a Gamecube homebrew file. Not Wii. So it doesn't matter if it's not the full 'correct' size. Just burn it and load it up.

PAL Wii:
After configuring the WiiKey (Original) to be regionfree, it now only plays PAL, It refises to play any other region game
GC or Wii, it just shows the the unknown disc sign or it gives an error
The config disc can't be booted anymore, it always quits with an error, same goes for the recovery disc
So now i'm stuck with a WiiKey that only reads PAL Wii bacxkups and PAL GC backups, before the setup it did read the known working NTSC Wii games, now you hear the wii drive spin up and spin down and end when trying to read ntsc games (same for Wii or GC NTSC games)
Think i go back to my Yaosm setup, no WiiKey for me anymore!!

My Wii behaved the other way.
Before the update the NTSC GC games won't load, but now, after the
update, all my old discs work! Glad I didn't throw them away.
This is the best update in a long time (o, it's the only update in a long time).
All there is left is the full support for NTSC and NTSC-J games!

Maybe the update disc hasn't the correct update on it because when I put in de Pal update disc 1.9b on het top
of the screen it says version 1.9b [US] and not [PAL]. Don't know if that's why the region override must be on
to let de config disc work. Just wanted to share this maybe this has something to do with it.
i find this To late ,
and without the promisses
i feel bad ever buying the Wiikey
the games i wanna play still don't work (naruto / eyeshield / one piece / bleach ... )

You need to read the Wiikey Resources page more closely. First, there is the "Wiikey 1.9b Update Disc." That is the update. Note the letters U, p, d, a, t, and e in that line. It should be the first clue. Now look down the page a little more (3 lines, ow, my head hurts after searching for so long). It says, "Setup disc v1.3 (PAL/USA/JAP)." Hmm, S, e, t, u, p. That's not the same as the other line. U, p, d, a, t, e. S, e, t, u, p. How can this be? Could they be using some strange UFO alien language from planet Booplex? Or, could they be two different things. One, might just be an update to the chip's firmware, while the other could be the setup (or configuration if you prefer) of the chip's settings.
So, in conclusion, please read more than the version number. Only then can you learn what you're supposed to do.
On another note, I can understand people paying a professional to solder their chip in the console, but do we now need to recommend these noobs send their Wii to a "professional upgrader" and pay them to do this (apparently) terribly complicated update? There have been so many threads on this whole 1.3/1.9 controversy, it's getting ridiculous.
if no ones test this on a clone by 5 pm est, ill try it out on mine to seee if it works.
but if someone has used the 1.3 setup disc with a clone please let us know.

To get my own problem solved
* (I use an external modchip configuration so i can use: my Wii is so modded i can use wiikey/cyclowiz/yaosm/wiifree/wiinja/openwii)
- Booted Config Disc with YAOSM 1.8
- when in the menu i hotswapped the yaosm against the wiikey*
- Did the configuration again
- After resetting, it still didn't read any ntsc wii/gc games
- But this time it did read the Wiikey recovery disc (no it didn't read the config disc :/ )
- Started the recovery disc and waited full 3 minutes (the whole time the GC joypad vibrates)(you wifes/gf's will love this
- After reset, the Wiikey seemed back to the state before i ever tried the config disc, it did read again ntsc wii/gc games (not all, just the known ones)
- Disconnected averything to be sure and reconnected all
- Booted the config disc (YES, it worked)
- Turned region override back on
- resetted the console (by pulling out the powercord as somebody suggested)
- turned on the Wii again and YES it boots all ntsc GC games that it didn't boot before the config disc came out
I'm a happy man now

I flashed two Wiis with the 1.9 update and one ran the 1.3 config fine and the other (after two flashes now) will not boot up the 1.2 or 1.3 configuration disk. Anyone?
