Hi everyone.
My wii is a U.S.A. region console and it has a wiikey modchip. I have a problem burning my wii games. I think I am doing something wrong because when I put my burned wii game, the wii reads and it is working but when I actually try to start the game (press start) there is a blank (black) screen. Nothing shows and I think nothing will show because I left my wii on after there was nothing but a blank screen hoping something will happen for some time but nothing did. If you are wondering where I downloaded the game from it is from www.wiiiso.com/ using utorrent. Also the game I downloaded is actually a JAP game called Naruto Shippuuden Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX. Everyone that commented about the download said it worked perfectly for them, so the torrent probably works. Also I used a program called regionfrii which changes the region code of a wii game, so I changed the region code from JAP to U.S.A. So there shouldn't be a problem with the region code.
Extra information that might/probably will help.
Thanks to someone I am not mentioning my wii has the new Offical Nintendo Wii update the one that "said" can delete any back up files if your wii has any modifications. But my wii can read and play the burned games that came with my wiikey purphase perfectly and the guy that installed my wiikey said the wiikey modchip has good stealth to "hide" it from these updates.
When I opened and extracted the file to .iso after it finished downloading using utorrent I was then seeding and still uploading. So i wasn't finished uploading when i opened the file, extracted it to .iso and burned it. Not sure if uploading is important or affects anything.
By the way Naruto Shippuuden Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX. wasn't the only wii game I burned that didn't work, i just used that as an example.
Well that?s all I know. I sorry if the thread was too long, I just wanted to add as much detail I could to help you experienced wii users find out what I?m doing wrong. If anyone know what is wrong please respond. I really appreciate it. I have been trying to figure this out for weeks. Thank you.
I burned the .iso file using imgburn (image/file to disc, the option on the top left corner), the disc I used was a Sony 16x 4.7GB DVD-R (the .iso file was 4.37 gb), and the speed was 4x. I hope that helps.
This is what it says on the GBATemp compatibility list for the above game.
Quote:Works fine when patched from NTSC-J to NTSC-U with RegionFrii, with the language option forced to Japanese. Note that this mod uses Trucha and won't work if you have updated your Wiifirmware to 3.3U or above.
So you should follow the steps below...
First off update your Wiikey to the latest firmware.
Now use RegionFrii on the game disc to regionfrii it to USA and force the Japanese Language as stated on GBATemp.
Since you have 3.3U firmware Trucha Signed disc will not longer work unless you use an application like Gecko OS to boot it. Do a search for info on and how to install Gecko OS.
