Wii Region Free without Freeloader Disc

無中文版

So it's now possible to play games from other regions thanks to Datel's Freeloader (available from both Code Junkies and Play-Asia) but, there have been reports that a recent mini update from Nintendo has blocked it.

The tools to get your Wii region-free.

Well, here's another option now using the ELF exploit that was found in the Zelda Twilight Princess game and can be run off a normal SD card apparently. However, the problem with "Gecko Region Free" is its current low compatibility but the author "Nuke" is continuing to work on updates.

I haven't tried either solutions myself because there aren't really that many releases I'm in a rush to play although I can confirm the Freeloader works great. A friend of mine had bought it and is now playing the US version of Smash Brothers on his Wii. Just prepare yourself for the brief few seconds of the screen being warped and the buzzing sound. So if you really want to play those titles that won't make it out of Japan such as Clean Keeper then, here's a solution for you.

I guess the next step in the scene now is to be able to load ISOs (virtual copies of CDs/DVDs).

想休息一下嗎?

North America, Europe and Japan.

You'll have to check what it says on the front of the game you buy in Portugal say. If it's labelled "PAL" then you can play them on a Wii console bought from the UK. If it says "NTSC" then you won't be able to play them without hacking the console.

Really? I read on some forums a mini update for 3.2E ended up blocking the disc so I was just writing what's been reported.

I can't give you the details but yes, you're supposed to put it onto an SD card. After loading up Zelda and then the exploited save file, the Wii should load the region free program and you can then insert the game you want.

It's more complex than the Freeloader so if you really want to play games from other countries, I suggest getting that if you haven't updated the Wii since mid-March.
