Hacking So,how do I get Super Mario Galaxy to work?

[Syao4]

So,I recently bought SMG,and unfortunately,it doesn't work.
I found out that this game refuses to work on hacked Wiis,so is it possible to fix it?
And I have no idea what my chip is.

It does work on modded Wiis ... you just have to have the right update for your chip, usually ... or the right firmware on your Wii ... or a bit of both.

The thing is,when I put the disc in the Wii I downloaded an update,and it still doesn't work..

 

[Bob Evil]

What region is your Wii from, and what region is the copy of SMG you have from?

 

[Syao4]

My Wii is japanese,but the chip makes it read PAL and NTSC too.
I also bought Super Smash Bros. Brawl and it works fine..
(Both games are NTSC)

 

[Bob Evil]

Is it American Brawl or Japanese Brawl that you bought?

Is it American Brawl or Japanese Brawl that you bought?

As I said,both games are NTSC(American).

 

[Bob Evil]

hmmm .... sounds like your chip needs updating, if that is possible ... shame you don't know what chip it is that you have.

Japanese is also NTSC You know. Does NTSC-J mean anything to you?
You could open up your wii to check what chip you've got. Or just try some update disks (wiikey or what so ever.), or would that mess things up?
It keeps amazing me how many people don't know what chip they've got.

And my parents bought the Wii at Thailand,I didn't even want a modded one,that's why I don't know what chip I got.

That's what can happen when you buy pre-modded ... even if the buyer is told that it is a particular chip, that may be false information.

One way would be to open up the Wii, take a photo or two of the chip inside, and post the pics here ... someone on this board will know ... or at least tell you the possible chips that it is.

it is only possible if you open the wii and look at it.

and if you don't know what mod chip it is then post a picture.

 

[Syao4]

Err..So it's impossible to know the chip via the menu or something?...
I'm pretty bad with opening consoles and stuff,I don't wanna screw up anything.

What menu? if you mean the wii menu then no way in hell.

Hasn't this question been asked a million times before. Search can sometimes be your best friend.

zero options i'm afraid except opening it up.. take it to a modder in your area

it isn't to hard to open the wii. If you don't i guess this topic can not go further.

 

[Syao4]

Maybe I'll let my brother open it,so where is the chip supposed to be inside?

 

[Bob Evil]

You won't be able to miss it ... it's the thing with all the wires leading from it.
