If you aren’t capable of doing this or do not have the equipment, both me and Erikie can do this type of work (for a fee I should point out). If your Wii is bricked and bootmii ISN’T installed you need to follow Streamlinehd’s guide, which is found here: This guide assumes you have bootmii already installed as boot2 (you can do this with bootmii/IOS but its not recommended). You would need to reformat the Wii and create a setting.txt with the new region.įormatting and Base System Menu 4.1 Installation If you wanted to region change a Wii that has been NAND formatted. Also Any Region Changer doesnt like these new permissions and will give you an error – ISFS_SETATTR -102. This generally isn’t an issue, but if you are trying to format your Wii before sending the console to the Big N (not something I support, you voided the warranty by choice) they could possibly see this and reject your claim. This really should be your LAST option after all else fails, as there are some downsides/side effects.Īlthough the NAND formatter is a great tool and can fix pretty much any software issue, there are some side effects.Īfter using the formatter, the file permissions on the NAND are not as they were originally from Nintendo.
If you have bricked your Wii or have a severe issue that is causing things not to work correctly, you may benefit from using the NAND formatter.
