Hacking JAP Wii users guide v2

[donchen]

Hi all I have problem,

I think I updated my NTSC wii J to i think 2.5J. I downloaded mario galaxy, and was stupid forgot to update the machine and inserted the disc and updated it. Now it semi-bricked my wii. How do I fix it? Please help I'm in desperate need to fix it. Can I download any 3rd party and burn it as ISO to fix it or some how ? pleast help me!

The highest firmware is 2.2J so there's no way you have 2.5! But anyway if I remember correctly the updates on wii fit, and possibly ssbb Japanese versions will unbrick a semi-brick caused by SMG ^^

2.2J is the highest ? Pardon me, maybe i got your question wrongly. But i have 3.2J firmware on my Wii. =X

haha i think there's no 2.5J update in the first place? after 2.2J it jumps to 3.0J....

anyway yea... jpn versions of newer games like SSBB and MK contain updates that should unbrick it

My mistake, I read it as 3.5 not 2.5....I blame my eyesight

If you're using wiikey 1.9s and turn on the no update block, would Okami still run? I'm thinking about running the retail NTSC-U on my NTSC-J system.

Sorry, I'm a newbie =X
Just want to ask.

I have Jap Wii and now I can't access the Setting Menu. Is it true that the 3 games that state in the first post can fix it?
If it does do I have to buy J Version or U Version? =X

TQ.

You just have to brickblock it if you are on 3.1J v2 or higher, exactly like it is so very clearly explained a couple of pages back.

If you want to be safe, just brickblock everything. It's that simple.

Yeah, i know that... it´s just strange, that a game like that has a update, or a channel...

Hey, i just download Trauma Center New Blood, and Ninja Reflex, both USA(I used brickblocker, and regionfrii)
Then i burnned, but when i play in my Wii(jap model) it´s all in japanese... what can i do to solve that? I tried to pass RegionFrii to USA, but it still apear in Jap...

Use WiiFrii. Be sure to thank waninkoko in his thread once you get it working.

I managed to get it working. This was what I did.

QUOTE(ashesburn @ Apr 18 2008, 05:34 PM) I'm able to play and add a Mario Kart Channel on my Wii-Jpn 3.1j Wiikey 1.9g.

I did the following steps, which I believe are the same as most the guys around.

1) Patch the unscrubbed ISO with JinVa's ppf 2.
2) Apply the Wii Update Remover
3) Use Wii Region Free (WiiFrii) 2.3b to make it NTSC-J compatible, and to force the language as english.
4) Burn the ISO with Nero and play!

Thanks for the wonderful patch JinVa!

If you need the ppf2, get it from here.

Hmn.. i suppose with all these NTSC VC coming out. We, jap wii owners can't use any of them ?

 

[Kenshin Br]

Reporting:

Octomania is working fine on my japanese Wii D2CKEY 3.2J.

First I burned the ISO itself. Its work until the menu... When I go to the menu, I have that messege: "The Wii cant read the disc, blablabla".

Then I burned another DVD using WBB and RegionFrii 1.21.

Its working fine now.

Very nice puzzle game. Must download.

And I think that this topic should be permanet; its essencial to japanese Wii users.

You need to update by the internet using the config. menu.

There is a PDF file with an english translation of the config. menu: http://sheylara.com/2007/05/24/wii-english...panese-systems/

 

[nwong]

It works - but only managed to get Pal Wiifit working with Jap Wii by using Freeloader.

Can't open it using Trucha, but opens on WiiScrubber. Haven't managed to get it working this way yet though.
