So, I know that you can enable region free options in priiloader
But without priiloader, can I region free my vWii?

I'm not sure about what you want, Wii virtual console on Wii U (the ones you buy on eShop)?; virtual console games on vWii side?; or Wii games on vWii?

Ok then, I guess he just need get a wad from pal region, or patch the usa wad with regionfree. For retail ones I don't think there's a permanent solution, I would go with riivolution, priiloader is risky imo.

sneek has all the preloader hacks abilities...

code from the smenu.c 4.3e system menu version part of sneek code
(other region are in there too)

Code:
                                //No Background Music
                                if (HACKS_NBM) *(u32*)0x0136BD5C = 0x4E800020;

                                //Move disc channel
                                if (HACKS_MDC) *(u32*)0x013B099C = 0x60000000;
                                break;
                            case 546: //4.3E
                                //Region free Wii games
                                if (HACKS_RFW) {
                                    *(u32*)0x0137E370 = 0x4800001C;

                                //Region free everything

Doesn't work.
VC loads console then the wbfs... not the HBL then SNEEK then the wbfs..

Ok... I decrypted the game... It contains a fw.img (probably vWii fw) and frisbiiU.rpx(dunno).
The rom is splitted in .nfs (max 256 MB)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And can I change my vWii region? On Wii there's AnyRegionChanger, does it work on vWii?

    ooowwww a new way for me to beat NFS 510 :D @SylverReZ

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
