Hacking JPN Wii users guide...?

[pkrulzzz]

Yeah just remember to use BrickBlocker on all NTSC-U or PAL games to be safe. Also just as Puar said, when the game's title doesn't show up on the disc channel it might mean that the game contains an update.

Also, don't trust the Wiki, I thought that Strikers was safe so I didn't BrickBlocker it and ended up with semi-bricked Wii.

I hope that future JAP firmware updates can fix our problem or else we're screwed.

I still have no clue whether using Brickblocker on a Game that doesn't have an Update screws up the Game because it loses data though...

 

[pkrulzzz]

I think it may but its better than semi-bricking your Wii

I've used brickblocker + regionFrii on Mario Party, Zelda, Super Swing Golf, Wario, Harry Potter, Alien Syndrome, Paper Mario, DragonBall. All the games worked fine. I guess Brickblocker doesn't do much to the structure of the game, so using Brickblocker on every game is good to start with imo.

Wonderful. Thanks everyone for keeping this thread active!

Got a question for you guys who have tried Strikers NTSC-U. Does it run in 480p unlike the PAL version? (Or at least I think the PAL does not run in 480p since the characters look so blurry).

Thanks!

 

[pkrulzzz]

it runs in 480p if i'm not mistaken. i think many 1st party titles right now have 480p progressive and 16x9 widescreen as standard.

If anyone is wondening, forever doesn't contain any new update to fix the semi-bricked NTSC-J wii.

 

[pkrulzzz]

hi guys, i've just heard that a new system update has come out for the wii

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?act=ST&f=108&...t=0#entry729279

can anyone test if it will brick our semi-bricked JAP wiis

p.s.: it has a warning that says it may brick modified wii's

EDIT: I think this is useless for now, since we can't even access the settings menu. We have to wait for a JAP game that contains this update

 

[1ns4nity]

Yup. The only way we can update our Wiis are through new games... :x

Hey one, hey all!

I can confirm that the wii update has not compromised my NTSC-J console in any way, shape or form! Instead, I now have a nice little digital clock on my menu, and the new Wii shop is spiffy! I think the warning from Nintendo was just to cover their own asses in case they screwed up the update again!

Hope this helps!

 

[Puar]

Too bad there's no way for us to stick the update on to a DVD somehow...

 

[1ns4nity]

Yup sadly

.

Now im just waiting for Boogie to be released and hope it runs on our JAP consoles!

Holy Shit, this is Scary... A video of someone with a Japanese Wii and WiiKey who updated to 3.0J: http://www.dailymotion.com/ooh44/video/4553182 Yeah, I'd say that problem would be significantly worse than the semi-brick we all currently have.

Hi all, I have one NTSC-J Wii too, and I'm little worried about this problem, haven't tried any american game at now. But do you think the future USA games won't be playable with ours Jap wii??

 

[1ns4nity]

Oh that would REALLY REALLY suck....

Might as well throw the wii out of the window now if that happens

as long u read the wiki that compatible with your Jpn Wii then it would be safer, so research a bit before u try

 

[pkrulzzz]

To all those who've updated to 3.0J already, can you try playing Big Brain Academy (U) to see if it works?

 

[auyongtc]

I've got a NTSC-J unit, but now it's semi-bricked (Having the page error in the Wii Settings menu). Anyone know which NTSC-J game have an update that can fix this?

Thanks
