Hacking few questions...

[Aizan]

im gona use the twilight hack. so my questions are when i get a game does it matter what region it is and still play it? if not is there something that enables region play?
and if can someone tell me what kinds am i suppose to get there is NTSC and PAL. i know U but can i get those other 2?(PAL and NTSC and work llike U version?)

thanks in advance >_____

most people tend to stick with the region their wii is, but u could install preloader via softmii and enable the region free patching and update blocking ( so u dont install wrong patches for wrong region) so it wouldnt matter anymore

i see. what so what about getting NTSC and PAL games? whats difference?

 

[madnlooney]

not much difference except the Hz your tv uses (60hz ntsc and 50hz pal) also sometimes the game name / release date is different

 

[andrewhan4]

PAL = Europe
NTSC U = USA
NTSC J = Japan

Dont install updates from a disc that is from a region different to your wii, you'll get a semi-brick

Your best off starting with homebrew, cios 249 and a loader and sticking to your own region discs

Once your a bit more confident and you've read and re-read guides on downgrading (if needed), unlocking your wii to region free, blocking updates and preloader (or starfall), you could install a pack such as miiwii or softmii.

does the twilight hack work with any version of wii update? cause i have the latest wii update ...

how do you check what update you have anyways?

 

[games2007]

Go to Wii Settings from the Wii Menu and look in the upper right hand corner.
It should say 3.(X)U or 3.(X)E depending on your region.

Yes it works with US, Japan or UK versions. There's two different hacks, one for System Menu v3.3 and below (0.1beta1) and one for System Menu 3.4 (0.1beta1).

[bdr9]

Well, there are a couple more steps after installing the Homebrew Channel. I would highly suggest using SoftMii.

 

[Aizan]
