I finally checked this out, and other than the Homebrew Channel icon itself and the SNES emulator, I am largely disappointed. All the original games fucking stink, including Tetris.
The media player was ok, I guess.
Anything else I should check out?
Yeah. I set up the HBC and HBB, and haven't done much beyond that.Originally Posted by PantherLotus

I suppose the emulators of the systems you can't find (yet?) on VC...Originally Posted by PantherLotus

So would we like, be able to access other regions' shop channels and stuff? Whoa.Originally Posted by itxaka

Do you have a PAL shitty console and are stuck with late PAL releases? Wait no more. Launch this program and you can convert your entire console from PAL to NTSC US to NTSC-j and vice verse .

Yes you can, but I'm too scared to mess with this stuff. There's a warning that if settings.txt gets corrupted your Wii won't boot.Originally Posted by nincompoop

That is why there is a tool to save settings.txt :DOriginally Posted by Dragona Akehi

CHANGES MADE TO THE CONSOLE AREA SETTING SHOULD ALWAYS BE ACCOMPANIED BY A SYSTEM MENU CHANGE TO THE SAME REGION!
It may be a good idea to backup your setting.txt with this tool (SD card required). The setting_replace tool will also restore your setting.txt from a backup on your SD card.
Yeah, I'm still too nervous to start messing with this. I'll stick with GeckoRegionFree.Originally Posted by itxaka

Change the country to Brazil -> Use your real postal code -> Credit card works!Originally Posted by batbeg
Fucking woah. I would so go for this for cheaper VC/WiiWare games if not for the fact I've first hand experienced my credit card not working on a US Wii :(
Sweet!Originally Posted by Dragona Akehi

Noted. I wouldn't try anything any time soon anyway, I don't have any money. I'll see if there are any consequences in a couple months, then think about it.Originally Posted by Dragona Akehi
However, like I said previously, this is a little too much for me to mess with...
No, that's only if you download pirated VC games and install them on your Wii.Originally Posted by Blu_LED
Is it true that once you install the Homebrew Channel, everything in the Wii Shop channel turned to "Purchased" and you can just download it? I'm a little shaking about doing this if that's the case....
This is not true.Originally Posted by Blu_LED

Oh okay. I know this is talking about pirating, and I'm not sure if that allowed but is there an ap that lets you do that? Because I was talking to a guy on another site, and he said that for him, every VC and WW game came up as Purchased, and all he needed to do we "Redownload" them.Originally Posted by Dragona Akehi

Even a hacked VC game (like using the DKC2 VC EMU and injecting say, Earthbound inside it) will NOT register as having bought either Earthbound (should it ever be released) NOR DKC2.
I just did the Twilight Hack and installed the Homebrew Channel. Nothing affected my Store purchases, nor does everything come up as "purchased". Make sure you get the official release of the Twilight Hack from WiiBrew and the Homebrew Channel from Hack Mii.Originally Posted by Blu_LED

I'm just wondering, I don't want to do it as I stated in the post before.
I did. I managed to watch Nightwatch for the first 40 minutes (Before I had to sleep) and there was NO skipping. The only issue was that the initial audio track was the director's commentary and not the actual audio, but I was able to change that.Originally Posted by Threi
whoa thats awesome.
I wouldn't screw with that though so Gecko-OS is good enough.
on another topic did anyone get Mplayer working with DVD's?

I dunno about that specific program, but the region changer I use does exactly that, yes. So I assume the rest of them do, as well.Originally Posted by Batongen
Woah, first time reading this thread, but if I do change use the AnyRegion changer, does that mean that I can play both GC and Wii games from any region when putting it in the console?
Wow thanks for mentioning that here. Never heard of it but I've been looking for a while to see if something like that existed. Now I can buy a bunch of Japanese VC games.Originally Posted by Batongen

The homebrew scene is certainly getting damn interesting. Who would have thought that we could get region-free disc loading, dvd playback, and console region switching all via software, without the need for any kind of physical hard-mod?
Did you backup your "settings.txt" file or did you just do it anyway? I mean, the risks are quite big I reckon. I've tried Gecko OS for wii but the wii version seems to only be doing Wii discs, but I would also like to try GC discs, but I'm too afraid of trying to use AnyRegion at the moment :/. Anyway, it's a neat little application, the homebrew channel, and there are some great stuff to download :).Originally Posted by angelfly
It's done. My Wii is now basically a Japanese Wii that plays US disc (can switch back and forth easy).
I didn't bother backing it up since if something did go wrong and it bricked the back up would be useless. I also remember all my original settings.Originally Posted by Batongen

So it IS possible then without hardware changes? Ninty have no excuses as to why they haven't FW updated to put that in, hopefully they will do pull a Sony re: the PSP and introduce the feature to counteract the hackers getting a foothold.Originally Posted by Mejilan

Do mind that one of the comments on the guide state that the Wii's cooling fan is not running during DVD playback.Originally Posted by Threi
Finally got DVD playback working :)
I have to try this. I even have my bongos out because I'm playing DK Jungle Beat right now.Originally Posted by Metal Gear?!

Dunno how that could affect hardware inside.
I haven't done it yet, but quite a few folks here on this very page got DVD playback running, and I doubt they all have hardware mods on their Wiis. That said, I don't think there are any hardware issues preventing Nintendo from doing it. They probably just don't want to pay the necessary licensing fees to the DVD Consortium. Kind of like how they released an "updated" version of their photo channel that killed MP3 support.Originally Posted by Stop It

Anyway, all of this is making me consider picking a Wii up here again, my one has a permanent residency at my sisters as I wasn't playing it enough, mainly due to game pricing and game delays, if these developments keep on coming, I may as well get one for US games and DVD playback.
This is getting FAR too tempting, if it weren't for the whole "things might go horribly wrong in the future AND local Nintendo companies might refuse to honor warranties if they detect third party software" bit.Originally Posted by Dragona Akehi

I installed the Japanese 3.2 menu using it and update to 3.3J from using the normal update function. The only thing that would be considered a "problem" is that I ended up with duplicates of the weather and news channel. All I had to do was run the duplicate channel remover and problem solved.Originally Posted by TreIII
WOW. Now THIS is something else.
Still...I think I'll be siding with Dragona, for now. This new tech associated with AnyRegionChanger is still quite new, and I would like to know how it progresses with continued testing, and how it handles an update from Ninty before I may take the plunge.
But even so....good grief!
Would this mean that you be able to access those other VC channels and get Super Mario RPG? :D
