Hacking Question about wads?!

Hey sorry if this is the wrong topic, but ehh, say, what happens if you install a wad channel from another region? Will it brick your wii? I'm new to wads and such.

So long as it isn't corrupted to begin with, regardless of region, it should install just fine. I ran a Euro Wii title on an NA Wii quite some time ago with no problems.

Unless it requires some sort of system update, it should launch without a problem. I managed to play an EU copy of Dr Mario Wiiware on an NA console.

No, that probably would not work. eShops, if I remember correctly, are strict on console firmware enforcement. It would prompt you to likely download the latest firmware for the Japanese region. If I recall correctly, installing a foreign region firmware is grounds for semi-bricking.

There are some options on Priiloader config, to region free Channels, games, etc...
