Hacking Softmodding a 2.0J without using Twilight Princess?

xheezy04 · Jul 26, 2010

As the title says - I have a 2.0J Wii and tried bannerbomb and used every variation only to find out it doesn't work on 2.x.
Trying to find a Japanese Twilight Princess but it freakin' costs a lot and you have to import it.

Is there another method for soft modding a 2.xJ Wii other than using Twilight Princess?
Also, i'm assuming if I did a system update for the 2.0J it would jump straight to 4.3J which if i'm not mistaken isn't hackable yet. Is there a way for me to update to 3.0-4.1J?

you would have to update via disc to a system menu that banner bomb works with.

+1, this is the only way (without using the twilight hack)

xheezy04 · Jul 26, 2010

Yeah... I figured that's the only way.. which means I really do need to import Japanese games.
I was googling earlier for games that update the system menu to 3.0-4.1 but I'm really failing right now.. Any help? Also, slightly on topic anyone know where to buy these games for cheap?

XFlak · Jul 26, 2010

well, any game with an update should be fine (since the 4.3 update is not on ANY disc... yet)

I know new super mario bros wii has either the 4.1 or 4.2 update on it (and its a great game, one very worth buying)

not sure where u can buy these games for cheap... (maybe Japan, lol, jks jks)

The best prices I found for Japanese games was at Play-asia.

xheezy04 · Jul 26, 2010

First place i've looked is play asia and their copy of Twilight Princess J costs $72 lol

Still trying to search for lists of games that have updates in them. I'm sure Brawl has a disc update but i'm now trying to search for cheaper japanese games that have a disc update

smash stack & lego indiana jones still works in 4.3

xheezy04 · Jul 26, 2010

I'm pretty sure that smash stack only works for US Wiis.. Can't find any infor if indiana pwns works on japanese wiis tho

nicksasa · Jul 26, 2010

indiana pwns has a J savegame so it should work

From what I hear, the J savegame exists since you just have to change some stuff in a U or E savegame around for it to work on Japanese consoles. However, there is no actual NTSC-J release of LEGO Indiana Jones.

Anyway, have you tried running Bannerbomb on your 2.0 console for the heck of it? I don't know how much it's been tested on 2.x, if at all. I don't think it would hurt to give it a shot.

nicksasa · Jul 26, 2010

He could try but on bannerbomb site it clearly says

Does that answer your question.

FenrirWolf · Jul 26, 2010

Yes, that does. Guess I read too quickly.

g4jek8j54 · Jul 26, 2010

Yeah, I don't believe that there is a JAP version of LEGO Indiana Jones.

I don't know if this would work or not, but you could try buying a version of the Wii Freeloader, and try running a PAL or NTSC version of Twilight Princess through that. I don't know if that would allow you to run a Twilight Hack save from a different region or not. The Freeloader also does not work on 3.3 or higher, though.

nicksasa · Jul 26, 2010

i think the only option you have is to buy a game that has 3.X or 4.X (exept 4.3) on it

xheezy04 · Jul 26, 2010

so far options are:
-Buy Japanese Twilight Princess and perform Twilight Hack or
-Buy Japnese game with 3.xJ or 4.0-4.2J Disc update and use Banner bomb

In theory might work
-Get Freeloader JAP edition and use Twilight hack or Indiana Pwns or Smash Stack..

lol, I wish I knew someone with a Japanese Wii and borrow a couple of games

nicksasa · Jul 26, 2010

just buy the cheapest game you can find with 3.X or 4.X, will be cheaper then zelda (if that's really $70)

happydance · Jul 26, 2010

just borrows a friends wii with a modchip update it to 3.2 then banner bomb.

i did this a few week ago for my brother in law who came back from japan.

i just remove my drive with modchip, put it in his wiiand plug my SSBB us retail disc and update, i did't mind the semi brick since i know it can install bootmii in boot2 and i can still run banner bomb and region change later

anybody know what update does the japanese resident evil and pokemon battle revolution retail disc?

Namster · Aug 2, 2010

Looks like I'm not the only one stuck with a Japanese Wii. Only difference is, I'm living in Japan, so no problem finding cheap used Japanese games here!

I accidentally upgraded my friend's virgin 4.1J to 4.3J (yeah, stupid me clicking ?? "YES" through the menus and not reading the Japanese).

I guess I'm SOL for the time being?
