Homebrew vWii Region Free on Virtual Console and WiiWare

[RinoDino]

Hello guys,
so recently I have been starting mooding my Wii U (more specifically vWii), so I can experience what people experienced when the Wii was all the rage, since I never had a Wii.
My Wii U is from the PAL region, and now I have the Homebrew Channel on my vWii and also have a bunch of Wii Virtual Console and WiiWare wads, the problem is that they are all NTSC.
Do you guys know any way to make my vWii region free or a way to convert my NTSC wads to PAL wads?

You can install Usb loader GX channel to your homemenu, and launch all your games from there. In my opinion this is by far the best way to load your games as it bypasses the original wii's 48 channel limit, so you can have as may games as you can fit in your SD card or HDD. All games are region free and have the option of applying video patches and cheats if you want. And you can also make a Forwarder to your WiiU menu and launch Usb loader directly from there.

If you still insist on installing each individual game to your homemenu, the easiest way would be to simply get the ntsc version of your wad, or you use this guide to convert PAL wads to NTSC

Before that make sure to create a backup of your vwii's nand, as you will brick your console if you install a damaged or corrupted file.

For patch a NTSC VC/WiiWare WAD for force it to run in NTSC in a PAL Wii, you can use @stev418's Custom NAND Loader MOD 1.1 which can be downloaded here:

For apply that patch you will need the wwPacker v1.84 tool which can be downloaded here:
