Spent a while searching as I've seen this question asked (but not answered) on a couple of external [torrent] sites...

I have a softmodded 4.3E Wii, and there are numerous Virtual Console games I'd love to play but can't (mostly american).


Some in question --> Doc Louis Punch Out, Mega Man X, and I believe there are a couple more WiiWare games I'm forgetting.

I've Priiloaded my Wii to Region Free, and tried patching the .wads via FreeTheWads and such but no joy.

•••

Would my best bet be to change the region of my Wii to NTSC-U with ModMii?

If so, would this render all my Pal VC games useless?

and how difficult is the changeover process from region to region, is it simply a trip to HBC and then using modmii or something to select a region, or is there much more too it than that?

Thanks in advance.

i have 4.3e and never used modmii and can play american wiiware and vc games, i use wad manager to install my .wads. admittedly though some do black screen on me so i delete them and keep ones that work and as for torrents i highly recommend do not use them, a friend of mine made that mistake and ended up downloading a game .wad can't remember the name of it but for arguements sake its strongbad .wad and when he actually installed it, it turned out it was some mal ware that just bricked his wii but he hadbootmii as boot 2 so he fixed it

Just making another nand backup, i have 3 bad blocks but once it goes over and verifies this they do go green, is this normal?
this has done this since on all back ups since i modded the wii.

still finding some games black screen using wiiflow 2.2, also when you click a case to bring it closer and you should hear game sound there is nothing at all this happens on two games i have, just the case and they also black screen when trying to open it. could this be an ios issue?

most of my games work perfect though :)

I recently got a Wii that was hacked and has a WiiKey in it. It's been like that for a while, but I'm just wondering as to how I would go about playing somewhat of the newer games on the console. I tried googling and stuff but couldn't find any answers that helped me.

I know I'm not able to go online with the console, but I mean, what tools and programs would I need to burn games to discs, do I have to update the WiiKey at all?

Generally the torrents I've got have been from "scene" places, not public trackers. So they've been trusty.
I've noticed in the past a few games have worked (as have Japanese releases), but generally it's the US only ones that have not worked, which makes them all the more desirable for me to play them on my Wii O_O. Heh

I go online with my soft mod wii and never had a problem :grog: . the disks you require are -r and you need img burn. I know nothing about the wiikey so i assume that is a mod chip?

Actually, I'll be partitioning this drive in two, one for wbfs for Wii game loading and one for fat32 for other stuff. Fat32 cause I'm a mac user.

Thanks for the answer, FIX94! :D
You can use FAT32 too for games, I can just suggest it :P
Don't know why but it didn't work the first time I tried with FAT32. Couldn't copy my original games on the USD drive... So I reformated it as a wbfs drive.

that's probably because you didn't update your usb-loader and\or cIOS. Either that or you partitioned your hard drive wrong (ie. not primary\active). Another possibility is that your hard drive is one of those rare cases that is compatible with the Wii if formatted as WBFS but not if formatted as FAT32.

Hi, i got a simple question, my cousin have a backup of karaoke glee and she can't play, black screen, her wii is soft modded to play only backup discs (not on HDD) and she have Neogamma on her wii .. she don't know nothing about modding things and all, i did the mod and i want it to be "newb-friendly" to play with her games .. so, do you have an easy solution for this problem ?

Thank You ! :)

PS: she don't have an SD Card in her wii so, she can't play with .dol files i installed directly with .wad so it would be easier to play ..

hey guys back again finally got an SD card & bigger HD < for videos etc etc..

I haven't started modding my wii but before i proceed kind of confused with a few things

1) after i do the letter bomb thing and plug in the sd inside of the wii,from there how do i install the nessicary files? do i go to the SD menu or my inbox on the wii

2) how would i go playing an emulator? mostly N64 games

3) after i load up the files from the sd card what do i install from there?

Sorry for being a pain,this would be my first time soft modding ^_^

use modmii to help u mod your wii, it will generate a custom guide for u to follow and explain exactly what to do.

to play an emulator, just download it, save it to the sd card or FAT32 HDD, load it from the homebrew channel or a forwarder channel and that's it. You'll have to make sure u have roms for the emulator saved to your device as well. You can find a lot of emulators on ModMii's download page 2 under the "Just for Fun" section.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
