okay. so. I had a fully working Wii softmodded with bannerbomb and firmware 4.0U

SO i decided to downgrade to 3.2U

then i wanted to go back to 4.0U


so now for some unknown reason my region coding is all fucked up in my wii.

When i attempt to use SoftMii's firmware downgrader to reinstall 4.0U. It says my region code doesnt match the firmware. So it asks if i want to change it. it says if i dont i will be semi bricked. So i accept and it has a error and firmware installation fails.

it boots to the wii menu with everything working. But when i install preloader it semi bricks.


its a NTSC wii but it says my region coding is wrong so it semi bricks. When i install 3.2U again it says my Wii shop channel is the wrong region too. I attempt to change it and another error!


is there ANY app to fix the region coding.

Ive googled. searched everywhere and come to this place to get help.

Even updating from nintendo it semi bricks! theres seriously something wrong.

can someone please help me..

can you still access your Wii settings, if you can than your Wii is not semi bricked.

or you could check your Region Settings with Any region changer ex: Area Console setting, just be careful with that program cause you could permanently brick your Wii, Also it might be best if you can install bootmii as boot2 before doing anything to your Wii.

i got it solved and working again. I restored the wii to factory defaults. And it was semi bricked. I used ARC to downgrade to 3.2 and just went from there. it kept saying 4.0(USA) and giving me a black screen with no sound when it was semi bricked.

and upgraded back up after resetting to factory default. and redid the bannerbomb.


its all good to go. but BootMii's menu doesnt work. My wii remotes turn off at the bootmii menu and i cant access anything. I even tried a gamecube controller and nothing. So if i do get bricked how can i use bootmii? i have it installed as boot2. and installed it as IOS.

also would it be okay to install CIOSCORP if i already got BootMii as boot2? or would that mess up bootmii.

    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
