Ok. I got it sorted out. You will need the following programs/files.
- WuM (Wii Update Manager) *Google it. It is easy to find*
- A raw dump of 3.1J_V2/3.1U_V2 (Depends on which region your Wii is from)
1) Place the raw dump of 3.1J_V2/3.1U_V2 in a folder call "dumps". The folder is created when you first launch WuM.
2) Open up the UNMODIFIED ISO of Mario Kart Wii with WuM.
3) Click "READ INFOS".
4) Click "ANALYZE RISK". It will probably tell you that you need to brickblock it because its from a different region.
5) Under "Replace with". Select your region's update. Either 3.1J_V2 or 3.1U_V2.
6) Click "REPLACE". *DO NOT BRICK BLOCK IT!*
7) Just to be safe, reload the ISO you just MODIFIED and click "READ INFOS" and "ANALYZE RISK". This time, it should say that it is safe because the update is the same region as your Wii.
7.5) Some of you may need to RegionFrii it. (I did not do this step therefore I am not sure if it will affect the overall outcome.)
8) Burn the MODIFIED ISO.
9) Insert into your Wii. It will prompt for an update. LET IT UPDATE. IT IS SAFE because you have already switched the UPDATE with the UPDATE of your region! Therefore be VERY SURE you replace it with the update of your Wii region.
10) After finishing the update, load Mario Kart Wii from channel... Everything should load fine and you are ready to go =)
Tested with Jap Wii running firmware 3.2J. D2CKey.
Thanks to everyone that helped me. Hope this help somebody.
Credit also goes out to the creator of WuM. Awesome program! =))
Is using ISO of Mario Kart Wii required?
Can I use any other ISO instead of Mario Kart at step 2?
I've tested with Super Mario Galaxy JP on my Jap Wii 3.2J Wiikey 1.9s but it doesn't work
The ISO has original 3.0 J firmware. I changed it to 3.1Jv2 by following all the instruction.
After burned modified ISO, I inserted it into the Wii and update its firmware (3.1Jv2 I suppose?)
After my Wii restarted, I tried SSBB-U, Mario Kart-U but both asked for firmware update.
What went wrong?
Current 3.2J firmware was updated through wifi after get 3.1J from Wii Fit
When I updated from SMG-J (as mention above), it took just 5-10s to update. Was that normal?
BTW, my SMG-U asks for firmware update also (despite I can play SMG-J normally)
(all my game-U are bought from local store, which are chinese rips so I can't tell exactly what region they are)
