This is exactly what i was looking for last night and to think I almost gave up hope.  That said i'm still having problems extracting all the data from inside the wad file.  This is obviously because i haven't got the common-key.bin that everyones talking about.  I am not asking that anyone here tell me how to get it since i am well aware that it is illegal and therefore you cannot host any links and such.  I'm only asking for some clarification on the matter.  

Point is that everyone tells you it's so simple to find if you just google it for five minutes, but the best you can find is either a really long number which isn't contained in a file and i have no idea how i'd go about creating a bin file for that or if it's even possible....there's also a wiikey registry file that u can get and then open with a hex editor but this, it seems, is meant to be used in conjunection with an actual Key.bin file so u can change one of the lines of code in order to burn Wii isos with Trucha.  

So ok, lets cut to the chase, all im asking is this - when you yourself got hold of the key.bin file was it just that = a bin file? or is it more complicated than that?
