Korean Nintendo Wii

[Link]

Hello, I have a Korean Wii.. 3.3k with no mod chip.. just the original system.

I have an original SmashBros (US) version that obviously can't be played on my machine.

Do I have any options?

Thanks for the help.

Hm.. I guess right now you're SOL (simply out of luck).. to Sammature: he won't be able to install Gecko OS.
1. You absolutely need a modchip..
2. use the modchip to install the update of Smash Bros (US).. simply insert the disc and let it update
--> if you just want to play Smash Bros and not cheat it might be that the following steps are not required!
3. get a copy of Japanese Zelda - Twilight Princess
4. use the twilight hack to install the HOmebrew channel - see YouTube, several posts here and whatever
5. install Gecko OS
6. profit

Yeah, really hard to find a mod chip in my city in Korea. The Wii is not really taking off here.

Thanks for all the help though!

I don't live in Korea but i heard you can buy mod chips and get help with installation in the electronics markets of Yongsan, Seoul.

Otherwise chips are available everywhere online. I recommend D2SUN 3.0 (www.d2sun.com), it works flawless with my Korean Wii..

Hi everybody
I have a Korean Wii 3.3K with D2sun, it was with HBC and Gecko installed, buyed in Yongsang ST, working perfect with Zelda Mario galaxy and Tony Hawk, but when I came home I try to change region, and everything goes wrong since now.
Like the menus were in korean trying to copy, I delete the HBC channel, and put WiiFit PAL something download and update and that make a semibrick, with duplicate channels.
Now Tony Hawk and Mario galaxy works, but Zelda disc it´s good to read at first, but doesn´y play, with a black screen.
After read all the posts I try with Mario Kart USA, and the same with Zelda, read but doesn´t load.
So do you think there´s any solution? without running Zelda it´s impossible to install HBC and also Gecko?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Duplicated channels are no semi-brick!

Can you access the settings menu.. please delete your Zelda Savegame there!

[Ruki]

Ok sorry , yes it´s not a semi-brick, and yes again the Wii it´s perfect function, with access to all setup.
I don´t have any Zelda savegame from original game, I only have copy from the twilight-hack from the SD card.

Zelda JAP game and save games does not have to be original to run.. you just need a mod chip.

Yep I have one inside D2Sun, and my Zelda it´s a backup, but now doesn´t load.
I also have try with a original Zelda PAL, and happen the same, starts in the Wii menu, disc channel, but fails to load. :mad:

according to guzzard only Zelda Japanese works.. is your backup a PAL version? Then it most likely won't work!

[Ruki]

Nop my backups came with me from Korea Wii seller, I don´t Know if are JAP, I think that are USA and NTSC, cause are in english.
but I´ve try with JAP Zelda isos and doesn´t work also.

Get Zelda twilight princess JAP version from internet. Unpack and burn with Imgburn standard settings. Do not do anything with the iso-file before burning. If you modify the iso in anyway before burning it will not work, you will get a black screen.

If the discs you have tried with are not even detected by your Wii then it must be something wrong with the chip/install.

Thanks guzzard for your answers.
That´s what exactly I did, Torrent Jap Zelda and I burn on a Mac with disk utilities, and I guess it´s allright, for ex, with Mario Kart the Wii read the burn iso downloaded, but doesn´t run, with Zelda JAP, doesn´t read at all.

I think that chip  it´s allright also cause  I can play with 2 backups, Tony Hawk and Mario Galaxy.

I don´t modify the iso, cause I don´t know how to.

I think my Wii doesn´t run Zelda, cause with the update, avoid to play for not permits to install HBC, with the twilight saves.

"doesn't read at all"? Do you see "Game disc cannot be read" or do you get the game logo.

[Ruki]

Well all it´s in Korean, so I don´t know what´s in screen.
I mean I can see logo and music on main menu , on disc channel, but when I start, black screen, that´s with Zelda, and Mario Kart.
I can play Tony Hawk and Mario Galaxy.
WiiFit PAL original, doesn´t appear in disc channel and of course doesn´t load.

I ´ve try with The Legond of Zelda Twilight Princess(JPN).iso 4,38Gb
