    Misc Changing the Wii U Region (not just changing the language!)

    after you have installed the new system menu, use udpih to reconnect your gamepad, that seems to be the better way for now

    What could cause the Wii + modchip to not work with discs anymore?

    Hey all, I recently got a second hand Wii (Originally Korean, region-changed to US), and it has been installed with a modchip. I couldn't identify what the modchip model is, and the seller forgot which modchip they installed. However, I do know that the modchip still works... at least for a...

    Understanding the Wii U Region lock

    Coming from somebody who hacked their Japanese Wii U: Yes, the NNID is region locked. You can't use an American account to log in a Japanese Wii U. Like V10lator said, Aroma has a built in region free plugin that removes any restrictions on region locking, even to the GamePad Yes. Absolutely...

    Sync different region Gamepad to Console method!! Work!

    Very untimely response and really late to the party, but I figured out how to at the very least change the Wii U GamePad language. Not the region, but it'd be useless because modded Wii Us now allow for pairing out-of-region GamePads without external software (Aroma moment lol); kind of hope...

    Minecraft Wii u mods/tools/clients database release

    Wait, if they can create mods on the Wii U version of Minecraft, can't they just... port older Minecraft versions onto it? Certainly would be amazing to have more recent additions to this game.

    Hacking Write-up to my previous post: How I think SCT changes the GamePad language

    Alright, so after messing around with the system and the language, etc..., I think i figured out how the GamePad has the language it is displayed. @gavinlai in their "Sync out-of-region GamePad" post mentioned about how replacing the DRC Firmware or mixing both of them does not work, and I...

    Hacking Can you change the language/region of the Wii U Gamepad (legally?)

    My apologies for the untimely response, but I really cannot help you much on that end. If you need assistance, I highly recommend you to join Lazr's Discord server, or contact her on GBATemp.

    Hacking Can you change the language/region of the Wii U Gamepad (legally?)

    My sincere apologies, but you are completely missing my point; What I mean was to change the language of the Wii U GamePad (a.k.a. the language of the Quick Start menu, the TV applet, etc.), not to pair an out-of-region GamePad or to play out-of-region games.

    Hacking Can you change the language/region of the Wii U Gamepad (legally?)

    Oh, in that case, you should boot into your old region's System Settings, then connect to the Internet and perform a system update.

    Hacking Can you change the language/region of the Wii U Gamepad (legally?)

    I forgot to mention this, but you need a device capable of running UDPIH. To put it simply (because I can tell you're not good at English), you can't change the region of your Wii U without a certain tool. You can use a Raspberry Pi Pico, Raspberry Pi Zero, or a Nintendo Switch capable of being...

    Hacking Can you change the language/region of the Wii U Gamepad (legally?)

    And... I feel pretty worried about it, it's certainly not something that the homebrew community in general likes. I asked this because I don't think I want to involve in using an app that's mostly looked down upon by the community when it can be done perfectly legally 1687112238 Uh... no, but...

    Hacking Can you change the language/region of the Wii U Gamepad (legally?)

    I'm just asking this because I recently experimented with a few things, including trying to make my Japanese Wii U GamePad display the Quick Start menu in English. It works for me, but the way I did it was through... using a certain, certainly less-than-legal app to change the language. As much...
