US/PAL Super Mario Galaxy is Not Compatible With a Japanese Wii as well as several other games from Nintendo. These games when burned the Wii can detect the game at the channel menu, but after you press the ?Start? button, the game simply doesn?t load and leaves you with a black screen, cuts off your Wii remote and you have to restart the Wii all over again. HOWEVER there is a solution and I will guide you to doing this. Firstly you will need a few programs to change settings in the ?iso? so go get em
1) First program you will need is ?Trucha Signer? you can get the torrent here http://www.sumotorrent.com/en/details/10...tream.com].html this torrent also comes with ?wiiscrubber? but you dont need that. You need the ?key.bin? and make sure the ?key.bin? file is in the same folder as Trucha Signer folder or you will get an error message saying ?error decrypting data?
4) The 4th program is not necessary but I highly recommend it as if you don?t use this program there is a possibility of Bricking your Wii...anyway the program is ?Wii Brick Blocker? get it here http://wbb.rockman18.com/?page=home&ln=en
Ok Here we go step by step..Let?s say you just downloaded ?SuperMarioGalaxy-USA-Wii? doesnt matter if its Pal you just want it to work on your Japanese Wii.
-Open up ?Trucha Signer? Click Select KeySet and click on Custom Keyset1.
-Now click on Image and Open ISO locate your ISO and open. Now in the white bellow, expand disc till you see 2 Partitions, expand the second one, then expand SYSFILES then right click on ?main.dol? and extract this file to the ? wii game language patcher ? folder.
-Now in the folder Drag&drop the main.dol to wglp.exe . In the wglp Select a language (For example, if you patch an NTSC-U or Pal game, please select [1] en) and hit any key to finish.
-Now open up ?Generic Wii Patcher? Before you can use any option you need to load a (main).dol file by clicking on open. Now under the? Error 001?Just hit "Search" and let the program (hopefully) find the drive check. After that just hit "Remove 001".
-Now under the ?Console language detection? Again just hit search and wait for the search result. Just select the game's language from the dropdown list which in this case is English and and press "Patch to new language". Now your finished click ?save?
- Go back again in Trucha Signer that was never closed and right click on the main.dol and replace it with the one in the wii game language patcher folder. Now right click on the second PARTITION and click Trucha Sign it!
-Now if you want you can open up Wii Brick Blocker locate the image and patch it to remove any updates that might cause the game to Brick your wii.
-After that you will want to burn the ISO with ?ImgBurn? open it select Write image file to disc, find the iso and burn it and a low speed, I recommend 2.4x
After that you are done with a working copy of the game that was giving you a black screen before.
This will work on all console wii?s that have the problem with the black screen when loading SOLUTION
WOW i have been waiting for ever for this information, i got about 5 games to work so far using this which had the black screen of death. but i am having a problem with Mario party 8, the "generic wii patch" cannot find the 001 error, and therefor that game still does not work, any information on this would be nice.
but thanks alot.
Several new US games(Indiana Jones, Kong Fu Panda, Deca Sports) are working on Japanese wii after 3.2J_v3 is replaced using wii update manager. I am not sure this rule will work for all US games on Japanese wii, like Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Brother Brawl, etc. Please share you info if you have. Thanks.
i eventualy got all my games to work, just keep trying, of the cannot find the 001 error occurs, still try. or use a differnt region pal/ntsc. also freeloader is a great program that works for differnt region games
I had the same problem with Dragon Quest Sword. I tried everything below and still didn't work. Then I only used WBB and burned the ISO. The language patch issue gave me the idea to try and run Backup Launcher using Boot Language = English. And 'tada' - that worked!
For those people who this issue, you may want to try loading your games this way.
