ok so i want to change my jap wii to pal, but i need to change my modchip region. i opened up and found what looks like a modchip it says d2c2 key-9. i googled it and cant find much so it looks like its a piece of crap modchip. does anyone know if i can change or update the modchip settings & change the region on this thing?
Wow - never seen one of those before... I guess it's a wasabi clone! The jumpers are the same as the wasabi ones.
Weirdly, the G point is different though :S
Anyway......
I can see in your pic down the bottom - two jumpers - JP1 and JP2. Both are open at the moment (for Jap region).
For PAL you need to short JP1 - per the diagram you posted.

In a word, yes. You *might* be able to get away with it, using a conductive pen... but solder is the best way to go about it.

Most likely, You need to solder on another wire. You definately have a clone though.lolmao said:
You might try with "metalic" fingernail... ok this sound weird but if your able to find some "conductive" fingernail... this would probably work... but the resistance must not be to high...
Anyway soldering 2 "jumper" pin should'nt be a problem for someone who never soldered...

I doubt metallic nail polish contains enough/any metal.
If you want to, get something like this: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/200-175

cool thanks.
i just installed starfall 0.5 and its working so i dont think theres any need for me to change my chip region at the moment is there??
if i do find the need il get my hands one a conductive pen

Were you having problems running non-NTSC-J games before? I just use Gecko OS for the rare titles that don't work straight up.
P.S. - Jaycar sell conductive pens - http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?I...=&SUBCATID=
Otherwise, make friends with someone who can solder.... OzModChips have pro modders in most Australian cities - I'm sure there are lots of members on here with skills too. Maybe I could help you out if you're in Brisbane.

I was having some problems with PAL and NTSC-U games, mostly i fixed discs using methods in the compatibility page. Gecko OS is annoying to use and timestamp doesnt work & crashes on exit if its a channel.
Main reasons was i want to have my wii in english, and want to be able to purchase a PAL game, and play it without editing the disc or using gecko. & possibly to play pal gcn games.
STARFALL looks like it may have fixed my problem. otherwise il goto jarcar.
im in melbourne

Did soldering changed the region? Please tell me, as I have that same damn chip.
If it didn't work, then I'm screwed, big time.
Please tell me that it works

hey mate, i didnt bother changing the chip region, just install starfall v0.5 it allows your wii to play any region games (you need to run the waninkoko firmware downgrader or region changer apps first to get to 3.2E or 3.2U). im running PAL 3.2E and everything runs fine now i think.. otherwise my next option would be the conductive pen.
soldering or bridging the chip would change your drive region and allow you to play discs of that region, assuming you install the right wii firmware region.
Crap. I changed the region, firmware. No Bricks involved. now 3.3
the thing is..... oh I'm going to crap right now.... I don't have HBC any more, and the fact that it's now 3.3 made it worse.
Is there any way out?
maybe I should ask my niece for her legit Twilight.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one
-
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
