Hi fellow countrymen!

For this, i think you need to go under option and check. If its 3.2J then its still a Japanese menu.

3.2J = Japanese
3.2E = PAL
3.2U = US

Please correct me if i am wrong..

That sounds about right.

Might providing more info? Which tool did he use to switch over?

Any Region Changer?

Wii Region Changer?

 

[donchen]

yeah. More infor will be better...

You might use 'semi-brick fix disc' for the appropriate region so you can get into the settings. Install 'HBC'. Use 'Any Region Changer'. Use 'Duplicate Channel Remover'.

What do you mean by that? How do you know that it's trying to connect to the Internet?

@ashesburn: QUOTEWhat is Wii Semi-Brick?. ... the result of installing updated System Menus from discs that came from other regions. Semi-brick displays an Opera error message, allows you to boot the system to the main menu, and play games, etc. However, you can’t get into the Settings menu (to enable WiFi, update the software, etc), because when you do, you are presented an Opera error message

Thanks but I know what a semi brick is.

@hawkz02
It's just displaying the Opera error message but I don't think it's trying to connect to the Internet.
