Hacking Region Mismatch problem according to AnyTitle Deleter. Help?

[phreak97]

I dont mind downgrading it if it will be easier for me to sort out this issue, but I dont think it will make a difference at this stage, I just dont see a point.

It's AnyTitle Deleter which shows the warning, ARC is perfectly happy.
The mod is only to show the title names instead of the IDs I believe.
Not sure where I got it to be honest.

Oh, I misread. Well I found the problem. The error message isn't quite accurate, which is what threw me off. The region info is in setting.txt, not SYSCONF.

What does it say right before the warning line?

 

[phreak97]

Not being Sysconf explains something at least..

Unfortunately, ATD Mod is closed source, so I can only guess at the reports without reverse engineering, which I suck at. I made this for another purpose a long time ago, but it should tell me everything we need to know:

[phreak97]

ah damn..

Region is Korea
Area is Korea
Video is NTSC
 
Press any key to exit

maybe atd mod reports that error as a false-positive every time it sees a korean wii?

 

[phreak97]

Aractus, that's pretty much what I'm trying to confirm.

Perhaps it is reading this from sysconf

IPL.SADR BIGARRAY 0x1007 lots "Simple Address" Contains some region info

Possibly some minor region setting was placed in the sysconf when the region select channel was run while the wii was region changed. Possibly formating the wii from the system settings to trigger the wii setup again would fix the issue. Like when it asks you what county you live in during initial startup.

 

[JoostinOnline]

It's a false positive then. There must be a bug in the ATD Mod code. The original ATD doesn't even support Korean Wii's, so you'd get an error there.

 

[phreak97]

Mauifrog, that makes perfect sense, installing the us system menu would mean setting that option, the korean system menu does not ask you what country you are from because youre always from south korea, it's factory set.
Is it possible to edit that information and set it to region 6?

 

[JoostinOnline]

Your country code in IPL.SADR is set to 136, which is South Korea.

 

[phreak97]

Ah so probably korean wiis will all have this warning?

 

[JoostinOnline]

Might be. Because the source is closed, I can't know what exactly it's checking. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[phreak97]

I dont think I will, unless it causes me problems.

Now, ignoring the fact that I'm probably insane for doing it, any suggestions for how to return this wii to factory? that guide is old and recommends deleting every ios above 60 then installing the system menu wad before doing a factory reset.

now I'm guessing that system menu 3.4 didnt need any of those ios's, but 4.3 does from what I can tell, I'm thinking doing that on 4.3 might brick it again.. should I downgrade to 3.4 then follow the guide before updating again? or is there a better way?

Okay, know that what you are doing is dangerous, because if it fails (which it probably won't, but I need to warn you) you will get a full brick. You need to use Ohneschwanzenegger (I hate that name, I always have to look up the spelling) to create a clean NAND, and use BootMii as IOS to restore that NAND.

I've expanded that CheckSettings app quite a bit over the past couple days. It's not finished, but a beta is here in case you ever have need of checking settings again:
I made an app to show almost all the Wii's settings

 

[phreak97]

awesome I'll give that a go and post back

 

[Lumstar]

Thats interesting, I know there were korean gamecube games, why wouldnt the korean wii play them?

It's a software issue. I don't know anything technical.

I don't think it would be of use to you. It wouldn't tell you anything region-relevant that you haven't found by running several tools.
