== It's possible to trap yourself in another region setting ==

A user on DCEMU used the Twilight Hack to directly load this tool with no HBC installed. He assumed that the changes were volatile and would revert after a power cycle. He then changed his region to Japan and is now stuck with a "Japanese" Wii. At last report he was purchasing a Japanese copy of Zelda:TP to reverse the change. I laughed a little at his misfortune but thought some mention should be made that the changes are "permanent"

:That error means the Region changer didn't find the "IPL.EULA" setting in your SYSCONF file. This probably means you haven't ever looked at the EULA on that Wii. Currently, the sysconf lib only supports editing existing settings, because there's adding settings is kind of risky in my opinion. To get around that, you'll have to go into the System Menu, Settings, Internet, User Agreements, and accept the EULA. Actually, the region changer will probably work if you hit "I do not accept," too. --[[User:Tona|Tona]] 21:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

== AnyRegion Changer vs. Duplicate Channel Remover ==

== AnyRegion Changer vs. Duplicate Channel Remover ==

I used v1.1 to change my system menu to 3.2U from 3.2J, and set all settings to USA (except Game Region). After reboot I updated my Wii to 3.3U then downgrade it to 3.2U. Now I got a pair of extra News / Weather Channel that don't work (when I click it, it says "Can't use this channel"). Can I use Duplicate Channel Remover to get rid of those two? If I can, what region of Duplicate Channel Remover should I use? JAP (since the newly-added channels are from US update) or US (since the system menu is US now)? Thanks!

:I have no idea what setting the "Duplicate channel remover" uses to decide which titles to delete. However, if your Game Region is still JPN, you can use the [[Homebrew apps/AnyTitle Deleter|AnyTitle Deleter]] to remove titles [[Title_Database#00010002:_System_channels|10002-HAGE and 10002-HAFE]] (Which should be the ones which do not boot--US titles). --[[User:Tona|Tona]] 12:04, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

::Thanks for the speedy reply (and thanks for the great programe!) I figured out that the English Forecast / News Channel (those two installed with an official update) and the Wii Fit Channel (which is installed by NTSC-U Wii Fit) can only be used when Game Region Setting is set to USA, while the Japanese Forecast / News Channel (which is exact the same thing as the English one, except for the title) can only be used when Game Region is set to Japan. However, with Game Region set to USA, none of my games (NTSC-U and NTSC-J, originals and backups) work. Perhaps this is due to the modchip (D2CPro) not supporting USA Game Region? If so, is there any way (settings or other applications) that can make the games and channels both work? Thanks!

== Nintendo Channel ==

== Nintendo Channel ==

What do I have to do to access to the Japanese Nintendo Channel. I set the GAME setting to Japan, the IPL.SADR country setting to Japan and the EULA to read. I downloaded the Japanese Nintendo Channel and when I start it, it says that Wiiconnect24 is unavalaible after trying to connecting. I reset all my setting to USA and used the American Nintendo Channel and it worked. By the way, someone found a way to make the tv channel to work with the tv in america (not the guide but just the tv control)? --[[User:Whibo|Whibo]] 14:00, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

::That isn't a problem reliated to my WiiConnect24 options. Maybe have I to change my firmware to the Japanese firmware. My NTSC-U firmware access easily to my NTSC-U Nintendo Channel but my NTSC-U firmware with all the settings to Japan except AREA Setting cannot access to The NTSC-J Nintendo Channel but can access to the Japanese wii shop channel and tv channel so I think I have to set my AREA setting to Japan (And my firmware to don't brick my Wii) to access to the Nintendo Channel. I tried to to the same with the European Nintendo channel and it worked but it don't works with the Japanese one. --[[User:Whibo|Whibo]] 9:00, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

:::The Wii Shop Channel is actually the same across all copies of the Wii Firmware, so it works regardless of the region you use. As you've mentioned, the News Channel and Forecast Channel won't. And just as well, the Nintendo Channel (and most other channels) will only work depending on which region you downloaded it from - the Minna no Nintendo Channel in Japan will only work in Japan, where the European Nintendo Channel will work only in European regions and Australia. I believe this is actually dependent on the numerical country setting in the AnyRegion Changer. - [[User:Sotomura|Sotomura]] 09:51, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello.

Hello.

Am I able to change the shop channel to US, then buy Wii Points cheap for dollars, then change the shop channel back to german, and then download the games which will always work with my console, even if I don't use this tool?--[[User:Woku|Woku]] 11:55, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

: Yeah, you can make any purchases in other regions and they will stay. So, you can theoretically buy wii points from another region, then switch back and use them to buy games from your region--which will work without using my tool. By the way, Japanese Wii points are cheaper if you can figure out how to navigate the shop :P --[[User:Tona|Tona]] 17:04, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

::Yes, I have used this trick many a time to buy Japanese points (just a bit cheaper than US points), and it keeps the points even if you switch back to another regions shop. Also, the Japanese store is probably the best (Its got LOTS of stuff that EUR and US don't) and I have had my shop set to JP for as long as this tool has been out XD --[[User:SquidMan|SquidMan]] 18:42, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

:::Wow, this tool is awesome then. But I think I will prefer to download the games from PAL-Channel, because I don't want to switch all the time. By the way, can't I set japanese shop channel with german language? --[[User:Woku|Woku]] 16:44, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Later I perform a System Update (via the regular Wii Settings). Will I be updated to 3.3U or to 3.3J?
