Hardware Trouble running NTSC-J wad files?

[MmmmSteak]

So I have an NTSC Wii on 4.2U

I'm trying to install a NTSC-J virtual console file, and things go peachy until I try to run the channel. I get an error like "This channel cannot be used" and am forced to manual reboot.

Everything I'm being told says that I don't need to region change to play this game. What gives?

Maybe you can try running a program called FreeTheWads over the wad on your PC first before installing it on the Wii.
