Hey guys. I have an Argon Chip which is suppose have region free capabilities, which it did, before the 4.2U upgrade.
What I'd like to do is go back to 4.1U, when my region free wasn't broken.

I've deleted the IOS60 stub, and installed v6174. I've also installed System Menu 4.1U. When I go into my settings, it says that I'm on System Menu 4.1U, however, my PAL games don't work.

Was there something I missed? Region Free was working completely before I made the 4.2 update.

does the chip have a special menu or disc to adjust its settings?

i know drivekey you can press eject 3 times to enter the drivekey menu.

if anything, install preloader or startpatch to enable region free hacks.

No. It's a 1st gen Argon, so it's only re-programmable through an Infectus.
However, as I said before, region free was working 100% on 4.1U.
After I went to 4.2, something happened. Is it possible that other IOSes were updated in the process as well?

4.2 updates every IOS in the system. Maybe simulating the 4.1 update in NUS Downloader and installing those IOS versions would help.

region free capabilities reside in the system menu
i doubt these new IOS's have anything to do it not working.

did you have preloader or startpatch previously installed?

How exactly would I go about doing that?

Nope. Just the chip.

    no, I'm asking which one of them you are using
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    in that case, there is no such thing as homebrew launcher for aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    you have to launch your homebrews directly from the wii u menu
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    there is a plugin that display them on the wii u menu, pretty sure it is enabled by default
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    so like it doesnt exist
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    yeah
    ?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    it doesn't exist, at least not for aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:

  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    on tiramisu you can access it by opening mii maker
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    okay
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    but homebrew is appearing in the home menu btw
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, now I remember it
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    then it is working, I also don't like that they did this but it is the only option you have if you are using aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
