Hacking Need Help with my Jap Wii + Wiikey 1

[JonnyBoyy]

Dear All,

I desperately need your help.
I apologise for being a noob and not being to find enough information on my own, and I would really appreciate if you can help me out with my Wii.


First of all here's the status of my Wii.

- Jap Wii (firmware unknown, have not played for about a year)
- Wiikey 1 installed
- No Homebrew Channel
- Semi-bricked (unable to enter settings menu, have duplicate channels)


I would like to do the following things:

- Change it to US Region (so that I can play NTSC/U games and for English menus)
- Update to 3.2U
- Install Starfall (so I can play games from all regions)
- Install Homebrew Channel


Can you guys kindly teach me the various steps and applications needed to update my wii so that I will be able to play US region games?

Thank you very much!

I really appreciate it!

Do I have to have the Japanese version of Twilight Princess in order for all these to work?

Or is there any other way I can go about doing all these?

Would a US version be fine?

I'm going to shamelessly point you to this guide for changing your regioni: http://wiinewz.com/forums/faqs-guides-and-...ystem-menu.html

note that it's slightly outdated though.

PS. you have a wiikey, so any region of Twilight Princess will work as long as the wiikey is in region free mode. (I did mine with an NTSC-U (US) copy)
