Hacking JPN Wii users guide...?

[rsyss]

i have a wi-fi internet connection

is there a way to unbrick my jp semibricked wii through it?

via wiiconnect24 or other way?

thx - mario galaxy iso was already released

Super_Mario_Galaxy_JAP_WII-TMD is supposed to be out. However I have not seen it released on the internet anywhere....lets wait and see if this will fix our semi bricked wiis.

SMG JPN contains 3.0j firmware.
It has been confirmed

I just downloaded the Wiikey update, which installed fine, burnt Mario Galaxy from an iso, updated my computer (which gave me duplicate news and weather channels), and then the sodding thing didn't work! Black screen after booting!

Can anyone confirm this, or is it just me with an unlucky Wii?

 

[1ns4nity]

Hm this does not bode well. It could be possible that the NTSC-U version does not work on the JAP console.

I will try it out as soon as the JAP version becomes available! I have to unbrick my Wii first before trying out the NTSC-U version.

I can also confirm the US release isn't working even after doing the Metroid trick, just get a black screen.

JPN release is working fine though.

Hi

if i unbrick my jpn wii with jpn mario galaxy, can i play the us mario galaxy without rebricking it?

i dont care about dual channels, i dont want to lose the settings menu again though


thanx

i havent tried running the us version of smg on my jpn wii, but i suggest you better update your wii firmware to 3.1j before you doing this.

JPN release is working fine though.

I tried the SMG US (w/ WiiBrickBlocker 1.3) - the game channel loads up the SMG logo just fine. But upon launching game, it's just black screen. I'm on a NTSC-J with 2.2J (I think, the one before they added the clock to main window) that's semi-bricked. Using Wiikey 1.9g.

Guess I'll try to get my hands on SMG JPN and then try to update and fix my semi-bricked mode first and try this again. Stay tuned

not working when in utorrent says invalid

let it open for 15-20 minutes, then it will start the download. Got the same issue here at the beginning.

have u played the game yet devil ? and how easy is it to play without understanding jap?

 

[devil_goalie]

No, I'm still in the process of getting it, but my guess is that it won't be that hard to play it in japanese. Only the controls explanations and the basic storyline will be in japanese, but you can find these info easily on the web.

After all, it's a mario game and the essential of the game won't be to read text...

Does anyone know if running the USA game will install dupe channels if the JPN Wii is already updated to 3.1j?

 

[devil_goalie]

From what I saw on the gbatemp region compatibility chart, the us version of smg won't work on a jpn wii with fw 3.1.

 

[Cocytean]

Yes, I can confirm that it gives dupe channels, AND that it doesn't work. Don't bother putting it in your console, get a copy of the JPN version

 

[Hanafuda]

From what I saw on the gbatemp region compatibility chart, the us version of smg won't work on a jpn wii with fw 3.1.

I wonder why? Has anyone tried running the JPN version, let it do its updates (safe on your JPN Wii) and then try running the US version (brickblocked)?
