Hi everyone,

Here is the the problem. I purchased a Wii in China that was pre-modded. I'm not sure if it is a soft mod or a hard mod. Is there any way to figure it out by going through the menu?

For Christmas, my kids just got Just Dance 2 (original copy) and it won't start. When we hit start, it goes to a black screen and the remotes turn off. What do I need to do in order to make the game work?

thanks in advance.

If you just pop the game disk in and it works from the disk channel then its hardmodded. If you need to start the game from a different channel then it's softmodded.

Ok, So then I know it is hard modded. now, how do I determine how it is hard modded? Is there a way I can determine it without opening it up?

Now that I know it is hard modded, what do I need to do to get Just Dance 2 (not a back up) to work?

Each game runs via a Wii IOS, as the game you have chosen is a new game it may need to update the system menu to add an IOS to make the game work (however this can cause other issues).

In the Wii settings menu in the top right hand corner it should tell you what software you are running i.e. 4.2E, 3.4U . . .

I am on ver 4.0U

I am updating the software now. I hope it doesn't cause any major problems elsewhere.

you bricked your korean wii. you can try the recovery menu, but you need a disassembled gamecube controller and a korean game with the 4.3K update.

otherwise, you're screwed and your alternate is to buy a wii in your region.

ps2: v7 scph-39001 - independence exploit - hdloader 0.8c - maxtor 300gb hdd
(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 6.60 PRO B10
wii (powered by bootmii/priiloader): 4.1u - d2x v10beta53-alt (base 56) - configurable usb loader v70r51/devolution r188 - wd scorpio black 7200rpm 320gig w/ ams venus ds2 enclosure

got a whole lot more to list . . .

I thought that might happen to you when I read you "bought the wii from China". I got this problem myself when I bought a wii from Singapore, & I have not been able to fix it.

Over at WiiHacks there is a detailed thread on this problem where all known working solutions are posted. They don't work for/apply to everyone, but your only hope of recovery lies there:

Check out Nintendo's Korean Website, too. They list all new & upcoming games in Korea, one of them may have a 4.3K update.
