Hacking Simplest way to play other region discs?

[excaliburn92]

Hello! As the title says, what's the simplest way to play other region discs? I could try hacking (or ...er.. softmodding?) but I'm lost really. I've read up the guides and the more I read the more I get confused. What's the best way/method to use if I want to make my Wii U region free and If possible, permanently? Thanks in advance!

Simplest way? HaxChi
Even Simpler? CBHC

Thanks for the guide! Will I need to install anything besides Haxchi and CBHC for region free discs to work?

don't quote on this, but u may need to do region hax. it's dangerous though since ur altering a flash file. I've heard some discs don't work unless u do that. it can be scary, but it's really not that difficult.

Yea I have cbhc and my japanese tokyo mirage sessions disc doesn't work anyway. I can confirm that you may need something else as well.

try regionhax. it's not difficult, but be careful. make sure u put 119 on the correct line.

Even with CBHC some out of region titles different from the console region don't work correctly/freeze up, so try this instead.

Wii U is picky when it comes to out-of-region discs.
You could attemp regionhax [eh... but try not to screw up anything resulting in Korean Wii U]
Or you could try running Spiik [Should work]

If regionhax is a bit difficult for you, you could always just use OurLoader! Very easy to do, the only downside is you'd need to run Homebrew before you could use it.

regionhax isn't too bad. I made both my redNAND and sysNAND region free. I've had no problems since. though, I don't have any foreign discs to play around with. I just wanted to do it.

It's not hard to-do but it's useless if you don't have any out-of-region discs anyways.

but it's nice to fix something Nintendo should've done from the start. I believe the switch is region free. welcome to 2017, Nintendo.

Indeed, it is region free.

I don't understand why people don't simply download the game and install to USB instead.
