[OUTDATED] Any Region Changer

Automatically translated from French.

Any region changer v1.1b mod5
source: https://wiibrew.org/wiki/AnyRegion_Changer
channel created by titi_12101

Overview

AnyRegion Changer is an application that lets you:
- change the Wii's region and language
- install the system menu of another region
- install version 3.2 of the region of your choice (or 3.3 for Korean versions)
So it installs the right IOS depending on the requested region.
It supports "SystemMenu" patched via Starfall.
It allows you to upgrade/downgrade to System Menu 3.2.
The modification is done through a temporarily patched IOS, installed if necessary and removed afterwards. This IOS combines Bushing's «IOSDelete» and Waninkoko's «AddTicket».

Preparation

Download the file containing the channel « AnyRegion Changer 1.1b mod05.wad »
https://www.uploadmirrors.com/download/ ... nger_1.rar
Extract the .wad and place it in the wad folder of the SD card

Installation

Launch the «homebrew channel» (or Channel File Manager if it's installed)
Launch «Wad Manager»
Confirm by pressing + to install the channel « AnyRegion Changer 1.1b mod05.wad »

Press :wiia:
Second screen

- reminder about the brick risk: do not install just any region or language that would cause incompatibilities
Press 1
Third screen, the most important
Image unavailable (removed by its host)
Edit Region Setting
- Language setting
- System menu region setting
- Disc and channel region setting
- WII Video mode setting
- Shop country code: region for channel downloads, 77 for France (a list of codes is in the file «CodesPays.txt»)
System menu 3.2
- Installed Region: E for Europe
Go to «Install System Menu 3.2» and confirm
A confirmation screen will ask you to confirm (YES) or refuse (NO)
the new system menu will install, back to the selection menu, WII restart
The changes are applied.

Other option

I put the .dol equivalent in the archive for those who don't want to install the channel.
Installation via the homebrew channel: Copy the folder "AnyRegion_Changer1.1bmod5a" into the "apps" folder of your SD card.
installation via Wii Homebrew Launcher : Copy the folder "AnyRegion_Changer1.1bmod5a" into the "HOMEBREW" folder of your SD card
Usage via preloader: put the boot.dol file (folder "AnyRegion_Changer1.1bmod5a") at the root of the SD card

it can come in handy with the preloader when things went wrong.
if everything's fine, there's no reason to use it.

Great tuto, very clear, I didn't even find a spelling mistake :( ^^

Otherwise a small question, is it long to change region? Because I'd like, like, just for one game to change region and come back right after to PAL, is that dangerous?

It semi-bricks your wii, but that's nothing, you just put it back afterwards like before and it works again. If you touch the language options, video mode, it doesn't semi-brick.

It's only the wii region option ;)

(Semi-Brick = unable to go into the Wii Settings menu)
