So I just ordered a Japanese Wii U, because it was the only one I'll be able to afford for likely almost a year. I found a way to change the Wii U menu language, but I can't find a way to change the vWii language. Is there a way to do this? If not, will games on WiiFlow/USBLoaderGX display in English?
Changing Japanese vWii language to English?

I asked someone in the Discord for Nintendo Homebrewing about this, and they said it bricked their vWii. Have you changed the language with that?
I have used it and successfully modified the Japanese vwii to the english version.
There's no need to worry about brick vwii at all, because Gary's vWii Decaffeinator can save it.
By the way, this is just my experience, if you want to try, please make a backup first.

That’s great! Can you show me a step by step guide on how to do it? I know you said not to worry about bricking it, I’m just worried that someone else did.

Could you tell me what to modify on the file with SettingsEdit? Thank you.

My console region is Japan, I have modified two positions，vwii becomes the english interface，I'm not sure if this is the right, the best way, but it worked：

You need to obtain setting.txt through FTP (Like FTPiiU-Everywhere), It is located in /slccmpt01/title/00000001/00000002/data/setting.txt. After completing SettingEdit editing, upload to the same location. Please backup the original setting.txt files.

Thank you so much! Once my Wii remote arrives, I will definitely try this. Although, I did some additional research, and it seems that if you do this on a regular Wii, it causes issues with accessing the settings. Have you noticed any issues by doing this on your Wii U?
I'll test again, you're right. Perhaps there are other unknown issues.

I have regained the 'Wii Options'
After completing SettingEdit ，go to vWii Decaffeinator，Advanced options，set Wii Menu Manual & System menu <yes>.
then update the system.
If you are interested, please backup first.

Wait so do you have to use SettingEdit then vWii Decaffeinator and then do a system update for the language change to apply, or is simply editing the values in SettingEdit the way you posted earlier enough?
I'm trying to change my vWii's language from English to Japanese to see if my Japanese Super Mario Galaxy discs are gonna be able to launch, since the way I got them working on my regular Wii was by language changing it to Japanese, so I would assume the same should work on the vWii as well. (yes I know there are easier ways to do that btw but it's mainly for romhacks with Riivolution, rather than just playing the vanilla games)

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
