been learning all this myself lately and your right- information is out dated usually.Ĭlick to expand.It is indeed possible to play NTSC WADs on a UK Wii with >=4.0 FW. if you goto channels from the options you can pick the game you want to move to the SD card in a fashion much like working with saved files off an PS2 memory card. you go into menu options> data management and it tells you how much system memory (blocks) you have left.
Once its done it becomes a channel on your wii menu. You will load WAD manager thru homebrew channel and then pick the WAD u want to install from there. Your WAD files will go in the WAD folder.
The folder name is what you will see when you load it thru Homebrew Channel. rename the file to boot.dol and have it in a folder called WAD manager. Download that WAD Manager (version 1.5 is the newest i think) and put it in the APPS folder. Create a APPS folder and a WAD folder and put it on the SD card. Wiikey has nothing to do with this part of modding your wii.įrom there you need the SD card (formatted at FAT32). There is a good softmod tutorial thread here you can search for. Basically you need to pick one of the multiple ways to get the Homebrew Channel installed. I also have a US console and although there is no shopping channel for Argentina(I just get a message telling me "your country is not supported") I simply change my country to USA and download from there fine.For channel games (WADs, WiiWare, Virtual Console, VC, whatever else they are called) you will need to softmod. Several people on these forums have US Wii consoles, mainly for the generally much earlier release dates of the NTSC retail games(which are easily imported these days) so that is where they get their games. If you were to buy an US NTSC machine then you would be able to connect to the US shopping channel to download the games in their original state(unbordered and full speed).
I can't really comment on how much difference there is as I've only played the US VC versions. Yes there is a difference between the NTSC & PAL VC games, as you mention quite a few of the PAL VC releases are bordered and run at a slower speed than the NTSC versions(which was also the case when the games were originally released in PAL territories BTW).
