Hacking JPN Wii users guide...?

[fixmyjapwii]

OKAY, here we go - I've read almost all and tried to do what I can, and I think I speak for quite a few others out there in my boat.
I have a wiikey'd ntsc-j wii. It is of course Semi-bricked by strikers, however it plays strikers just fine. It cannot go online since the setting cannot be edited ergo I cannot dl the newest J version firmware

there are still no games out to fix this, correct? Any advice anyone?

Here's my main issue, I'm on a MAC so most of the brick blocking progz don't seem to help much, so my first question is: any advice as we stand now? and 2: any advice for a mac user?

Here's where I'm really pissed off - I, like most people, am having a hard time getting Metroid to run. After weeks of having it not work, for some reason the game started up today. Then an hour into it it gave me the 'disc cannot be read' error and I've never seen the start up menu again. What's going on??
Also, I'm aware of the WIKIcompatibility page, but there's no info on ntsc-j games being played on an ntsc-j machine... given bbacademy-j doesn't work on a wiikey'd ntsc-j system (it doesn't seem to work anywhere?), but why won't Gundam (0079, not hammers... that worked) work?

I've been reading here since the start, and this is my first post so be nice

Help me play these damn gamez

I think you have bad disc. I have a semi-J and i can play BBA-J (just that obviously its in JAP). No problems playing Metriod-U either.

The main problem we are all facing now is that our precious little Wiis are being semi-bricked by that big bad Metroid Prime 3. Hopefully someone will find a new Jap game with updates to unbrick our little investment and post it here ASAP. Now in the meantime, i hope some group will release Dewy's Adventure U/C that is playable on our Jap Wiis. Been waiting for this game to fill the void only to have it shattered. don't feel like buying the Jap ver. Sigh. Should have bought an US Wii.

 

[fixmyjapwii]

I don't regret getting a jap wii - I had the first one sold out of Shinjuku Tokyo ^^ Ergo it's got heaps of personal value (haha)
but what I would give to play MP3U....
I played 45 min before BSOD (black screen of death)
and then an 45 min 2day before BSOD.... I'm at the end of Norion...
but it just won't work
I wiikey patched 1.09.... and all that did is make gc isos unplayable ><

We should start a support group; Semi-Bricked Jap-Wii users


Y'know, if this is the 'security' that came with mp3u & bba (u&j... J is iffy when it wants to work) and strikers...
Who knows what will be in mario galaxy... are they gonna blow the wiimotes up? lol

 

[darkgunsou86]

Wow, your wii has so much problems. i never have problems with gc isos even when patched to latest 1.9b. i even played them using dvd+rw discs. i feel that there's no difference cause my eternl darkness PAL still doesn't work. so much for the gc all region free. maybe ntsc wii can't output 50hz is true cause that game only changes to 60hz when B is press at the starting screen which the BSOD happens before i can press it. i bought jap wii cause it's cheaper than the US set. in my country that is. never tried BBA cause don't feel like playing a text heavy jap game. hope nintendo doesn't go to that route. sounds like a terrorist plan like in die hard 4. they would make wii fail like n64 and gc when it can't play those games.

@fixmyjapwii

I agree with 1ns4nity that you might have bad discs... I've got Gundam 0079 and MP3-U working fine on my Wiikey'ed Jap Wii...

 

[darkgunsou86]

Yeah. same here. gundam 0079 and metroid works just fine on my wiikeyed wii.

 

[fixmyjapwii]

I'm double baffled now... metroid's running now, outta the blue - but no go on 0079 or yawaraka (I can play it 40% of the time, but just now when I had some friends over the thing bsod's on me >

 

[Pikachu025]

I wish I could dl another copy of yawaraka - I wanna try burning it on a slower speed

Why bother redownloading? Just read it into an ISO file using IMGBurn.

 

[epu708]

for wii 3.0 J (normal, no semi bricked, or double channel yet)
guys, if we wait for mp3 j then update the channel patch.
after that insert mp3 u
i wonder will it solve the problem (double channel)?
if yes, just wait for mp3 j, then played mp3 u
any comment?

NO HOPE

every soft with FW2.0J ,so you can't hope NEW SOFT comes LATEST FW. Just FIRST UPDATE FW2.0J(add channel NEWS WHEATHERS)

 

[ps3nano]

Someone say New soft with Fw3.0 comes your broken Wii is fixed

I think NO hope.

becouse every Soft with Fw have same Update.

No update.


2.0J

So you hack wii bios then you make custome FW.

never comes FW3.0J

 

[kennoel]

I read on the HK website that Dragonball Z Sparking!! Meteor is out since Oct-3 and may have the 3.0J, I've almost got it, has anyone else been able to give it a try on a semi-brick?

 

[1ns4nity]

Havent heard about 3.0J being out. Mario Galaxy should have it when it comes out in Nov.

 

[pandapandapanda]

My Wii has been updated to 3.0J using WiiConnect and I also updated the WiiKey to 1.9b. If I try to play MP3 now for the first time will I still get the 2 extra channels?

 

[klww2001]

anyone can help?

Yes, you will. Only way known right now to not get the double channel is the power-down trick. No idea what's the long term effect of the trick though. Some people are reporting Sonic not working after the trick. I can't confirm though since I don't have Sonic...

anyone can help?

1. Eject the DVD after it stops the drive and asks you to press A,
2. Let it test,
3. Put the DVD back in,
4. Let it stop the drive again and then once again eject the DVD,
5. Press A to let it install
6. Wait
7. Done.
