Hacking JAP Wii users guide v2

it really does seem like Wiikey are screwing us over right now

That's a little harsh since no other modchip has been capable of getting over this problem as well. This relates to the fact that these games (SMG, MySims, New Blood, to name a few) are programmed to look for the default language of the Wii. Not sure if any of the modchips can fix this since I'm not sure if drivemods can detect setting checks like that.

Keeping my fingers crossed though. Whoever overcomes this problem I think is guaranteed to get the business of *ALL* Jap Wii users.

I really doubt this is possible atall.

i was going to post the exact same question as above.

Is there some sort of list that tells us the games that are in jap and have no english option. And how playavle they are? Im also wanting cooking mama and disney princess.

How playable is jap cooking mama? And i hope the jap disney princes will be playable.

We need real region free!!!

I played cooking mama J version. It's like imitating the picture/video and not knowing the instruction. still, it was fun.

new blood is all in japanese :/ it really sucks , i hope the wiikey team can find a way to block the language finding code, so we can play smg in english and new blood as well

( otherwise im selling my jap wii

I heard New Blood has voice. Are the voice instructions in Japanese too?

was it playable?

yes the voice is in japanese as well

the game looks great though and i think that even if you dont know any japanese you'll be able to play all the operations but its kinda boring not knowing the story. I only tried the first operation and it was really similar to second opinion but it had a nicer look to it, kinda like the graphic had been improved. damn really wanna play this game

Real bummer! Thanks for the info though.

Hmm well if the wiikey can't be region patched to Eng then surely there's got to be some way to patch the games so that it only displays English... hope someone can come up with a method, bit like the Brick Blocker...

 

[ricflairandy]

i was thiknhing the same, but id have thought if it could be done it would have by now

 

[Kyokokoko]

Actually I think it should be possible to patch an Iso to force it to play in a selected language, and it still hasn't been done because a) this issue is quite recent, since previous games didn't present this problem, and b) the problem hasn't been given enough publicity.

I think we should try and raise the attention of someone with the capability to look into wii games' structure, which may be something not that difficult, or it may be impossible to achieve. We still don't know. But since it seems that Jap Wii owners that do not know any japanese, like myself, are a minority, nobody is really caring about it, and if htere are people that can do this, probably do not even know.

Anyone agrees?

Updated my semi-bricked Wii with SMG(Jap). It'is no longer semi-bricked (but did get duplicate channels in the process).

Now I've purchased 3,000 Wii points, and I'm dying to trying out one of the virtual console games, but am worried the games are going to all be in Japanese and in consequence no fun.

I really want to play Zelda: Ocarina of Time but will it too be in Japanese?

Anyone got any suggestions on what virtual console games are fun to play?

 

[Kyokokoko]

I think that if you email Nintendo customer support they will supply instructions on how to download english channels, thus enabling you to buy non-jap games. Not sure though.

Now we are facing a few problems of playing US games.
They are:
1. Japanese content in US games (Trauma Center New Blood, Red Steel, REUC)
2. Games locking up upn loading (Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, Dewy's Adventure, now BBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3)
I hope the first problem can be solved by someone who can program a code blocking or removing patch in the iso, wiikey or in the Wii's firmware itself.
Wonder when the Wii's firmware will get cracked like PSP? i thought the world was full of intelligent hackers who can defeat all kinds of security?
Does anyone know what causes the second problem? i hope it gets solved as well. A few games are worth playing.
I really hope future games like Symphonia, ogre battle, golden sun and FFCC doesn't have these kind of problems. if they have, i have to buy a US wii to play them. Wasting money. don't want to trade in as i want to play jap games too. what is the Wiikey team doing?

Hi

I am fairly new to the wii modding scene and have a few questions if someone could kindly help me:

I have a JAP wii and updated my wii firmware using MArio Galaxy (ntsc - j) and through reading forums it should have updated it to 3.0J. But my settings show 3.1J - im not compaining about this but im confused

My wiikey is updated with the latest firmware 1.9g.

So my questions are, how did my firmware get to 3.1J, did mario do this or would this have happened online? Thought 3.0j was the latest?

Ive ordered a wii fit from Japan, i know this comes with 3.1J so guess this wont actually update anything?

In the new year i will obtain wii fit ntsc U - im assuming cos im running 3.1J this will be ok as its the latest update

Also, when i put in big brain acadamy ntsc u it tries to do an update even though im running on 3.1J (big brain has 2.2U does it not?). Im afraid to let this complete, but in theory i know it shouldnt do anything as big brains firmware is less than i have. If i use brickblocker the disc doesnt work. Anyone tried this on a JAP wii? does it just give you duplicate channels?

Also, with guitar heroes 3, the update list doesnt show if the PAL version works on a JAP wii - anyone know? Also does anyone know what firmware the GH3 disc contains?

Please please please help me

thanks in advance
