Hacking vWii region free?

[C0mm4nd_]

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

Ehm yeah... not exactly.
So, I downloaded one of those Wii VC that you can install on Wii U.
The download is USA, my wii u (and vwii) is EUR

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?

He wants all of vWii region free. Not the eShop ones

 

[OriginalHamster]

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.

eShop is enough. If I can regionfree all vWii... better. But eShop is enough

Use USB Loader GX or Wiiflow to launch Wii channels, Wii discs. (No regionlock !)

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

 

[markehmus]

well i got a bunch or region free on my vwii from way back when

 

[C0mm4nd_]

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?

It doesn't work because I don't load the title from the Wii Menu but from the Wii U Menu

 

[wicksand420]

C0mm4nd_, Did you ever figure out how to get the vwii vc to work out of region? I am trying to do this now with pikmin 2 eur on my usa wii u. I hacked in and changed the region in the meta to my region but i just get a black screen.
