!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's on?! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (alphabetical table)
Someone is deleting all game numbers!!! And replacing them with the first game letter.. but, in my opinion, alphabetical order is just done by ordering by NAME!!! Order by LETTER is SOOOO STUPID!!!!
What exactly is the game number used for? Cant that column be removed? No, the game number is the release number and should be the same as the one in the gbatemp database http://gbatemp.net/newgon/?dat=wii
--Teto 15:02, 12 September 2007 (CEST)
Ok, good idea, now try to order the table by "alphabetical". Look at the result. IT IS ALL BUT NOT ALPHABETICAL!!! restore the game id version! --Teto 11:37, 13 September 2007 (CEST)
restore the game id version please! //Günnar
I restored game IDs and put a warning. (specially for user 90.195.137.84 :) --Teto 12:24, 14 September 2007 (CEST)
- I assume when you talk about game IDs, you mean the titles? Game ID usually refers to the string in the header of the ISO (eg. RSRP, RSXP, RZDE, etc.) --Dirtie 04:29, 16 September 2007 (CEST)
for game IDs (in this talk) i mean "game numbers", that come from the gbatemp database. i don't know if you've seen the "alphabetical" table, i created a backup so you can see how useless it is (IMHO!). let me know if u want to use alphabetical order. --Teto 13:18, 17 September 2007 (CEST)
Why include the modchip names?
As far as I know, all the current "partial-region-free" methods have the same compatibility; if one game doesn't work with a certain partial-region-free patcher (either software tool or via modchip) it won't work on any other partial-region-free patcher as well. So why include messages like "Works with WiiKey" / "Tested with Cyclowiz" etc.? It's only going to confuse people who don't know all current modchips are equal when it comes to partial-region-freeness-compatibility. I've read more than one "the list only says it works with WiiKey, but I have a Cyclowiz/whatever - can anyone confirm it works with that chip as well?"-posting in the Wii forum I use.
Non-Region Updates
Can we add a section about non-region updates? For example, SPM US bricking PAL Wiis? Also, Pokemon Battle Revolution NTSC-J wants to update my NTSC-U Wii - but I don't want to get bricked. Will it brick if I just tell it to update from the Japanese game? It is marked as green in the list, but with no notes... 68.195.71.19 22:29, 10 May 2007 (CEST)
- That can be included in the notes for the game in that region. I played Pokemon on my NTSC-U Wii without any problem. I think (but can't recall exactly) it updated as well. Just make sure you are updated to the current level. I believe the bricking with Paper Mario were only from people who were not at the current level. -- Dsbomb 22:50, 10 May 2007 (CEST)
- Great idea really! A lot of new games contain patches that might render your wii useless, and the info section doesn't always mention this. So, how about someone with some time over adds a patch column to each table? -- Maigo
Can we list which games contain updates?
Super Paper Mario (NTSC-U)(NTSC-J)
Mario Strikers Charged (PAL) (ISO from Vortex with NTSC Patch) - 2.1e
Mario Party 8 (NTSC-U)
Big Brain Academy Wii Degree (NTSC-U)
Bio Hazard (Resident Evil) 4 (NTSC-J) - V2.2J
Boogie (NTSC-U)- USB
Metroid Prime 3 : Corruption (NTSC-U)
Super Mario Galaxy (NTSC-U)(NTSC-J) - V3.0
Anymore please add.
What exactly is the game number used for? Cant that column be removed?
No, the game number is the release number and should be the same as the one in the gbatemp database http://gbatemp.net/newgon/?dat=wii
Those who don't know how to edit the page, add your results here
Mario Party 8
It says in the table that mario party 8 doesnt work with two of the chips. I have a pal wii and the wiikey but it still doesnt work. It just freezes up. Please could you help me with this problem.
--It is currently a stated fact that Mario Party 8 (Ntsc - American) will not work on PAL Wii consoles with modchips. It makes no difference patching the ISO as well. Once it has been patched, the game does show up in the Wii Channels menu. As soon as you start the game, you are left with a black screen. I have personally confirmed this using the Wii Key modchip.
--with wiifree on PAL, mario party 8 PAL, it partially works. you can play the game, but in some situations (when you meet bowser) if freezes and asks for the disc. --Teto 11:41, 25 July 2007 (CEST)
Japanese Region Games
Please use the following format for release names "Super Swing Golf (U)(VORTEX)" and do not use the term "JAP" some people regard it as a racist term. Please just use (J). It's obvious enough.
I agree that you should use J because we have U and E and whatever, using more letters than necessary makes no sense. But cut the crap about the racism, it just ain't true.
Agreed. That's really silly.
Not as silly as it sounds... my wife is Japanese and she finds it offensive - probably because it has a history of being used in a derogatory fashion.
Yes and please stop using black letters, it offensive, oh and no white backgrounds...yellow isn't an option here i think.
So you think it is ok to refer to Pakistanis and Pakis, Australian Aboriginals as Abos etc etc. Just because it is not offensive to you does not mean that it is not offensive to anyone else (I assume you are not Japanese, so of course you will not take offense - and by the way, your analogy is so flawed it is not funny). Anyway, enough of this.
People, JAP is the global standard three-letter country code/abbreviation indicating Japan. Just like PAK is for Pakistan and AUS is for Australia, MEX for Mexico and onwards. It has nothing to do with the slang word "Jap" and hence the whole argument about racism and "Pakis" and whatnot is out of place.
Ahem, I think you will find the international standard is JPN... nice try though.
True... aren't USA, EUR, AUS and JPN the usual codes...?
Topic should be changed
to "Partial Region Free Patcher Compatibility List" or something similar, as the compatibility is the same for the chips as it is for the patchers. DGSystems 21:40, 2 March 2007 (CET) Im sick of being called a brit....... not, the world has gone mad
Trauma center works?
what does it mean in next wiikey update?
from kaishou - In the new setup (which is the update), but i dont think wiikey confirmed that they are working on trauma center so right now i think the data about trauma center being worked on for the next wiikey is completely fake.
i think they ment they are actually working on 100% compatibility for ntsc on pal games and vice versa.. its a pity.. trauma center is actually one of the most original games ever.
from kaishou - lol its one of the reason why i brought a wii
from eternity575 - hey kaishou.. could you mail me if you hear about a solution ?
From kaishou - Hmm sure, the only thing is that im not a registered user lol, i might register but i think im too lazy :P but ill email you, or if you want to email me or something just email me at (ahh nvmm you already know my email)
Metroid Prime 3 Corruption USA Wii-PROMiNENT
Are you guys sure that you will not brick the Wii console using a 2.2E? Doesn't the disc contain a 3.0U update? // O
Update: I changed the Metroid Prime 3 NTSC version since i heard from some sources that the Wii will get bricked if booting it on a 2.2E console. Source: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=58984&st=105
Cooking Mama
"Must have your wii system language set to English Risk of Bricking autoupdate launched" What does the later part mean? Is there a recent auto update patch as well as with SPM?
kaishou - i think this is a false information because my friend has a older firmware for the wii (no internet) and his lagnuage is set to spanish, he played cooking mama for more than 4 hrs and it dont auto. someone just put it that it wil auto update and mess up your wii just to piss you off. that what i think.
I believe the DVDs have the update patch on them. I loaded up Blazing Angels PAL on my USA Wii, while my wireless router was shut off. It applied the update successfully and then loaded up just fine. --Dsbomb 01:30, 19 April 2007 (CEST)
Rayman Raving Rabids
I am not 100% sure whether the compatibility list is restricted to issues with backups or encompasses original discs as well, but the original official NTSC(U) disc of Rayman Raving Rabids is working fine on my WiiKey'd Australian PAL machine. According to the list it freezes on startup, so could this possibly be a firmware issue? (I downloaded the latest system software when I set up to visit the Wii Shopping channel for the first time, yesterday) and tried the game for the first time today.
Anyway, there you have it... official NTSC(U) version of Rayman Raving Rabids works fine on (Australian) PAL Wii (can't comment on backup, as I have not made one).
- Any chance you'll be able to make a backup (using the SD card dumper app or rawdump) and test it out? --Dirtie 02:03, 28 April 2007 (CEST)
Not anytime soon I am afraid... anyone else able to do this? Hello? Bueller? Anyone?
Do the lockup games working if you are using an Original Disc not an iso burning?
Do the lockup games working if you are using an Original Disc?
I have a game that I want to buy, but it said lockup at here. Could someone help me answer the question?
-- Answer: They don't work even if you use original disc.
-- Answer to the Answer: See my comments re Rayman Raving Rabids. I have the NTSC(U) original and it works fine on my Australian PAL machine (with WiiKey installed). It certainly does NOT lock-up on load (as is stated on the listing here) and is playable... I don't know if this is the case for all original games or for that matter a backup copy of this game, but the original of Rayman Raving Rabids most definitely IS working.
--
Answer: I could play Wario Ware: Smooth Moves(US) in a JPN console using a original disc. I hope that other games wich locks-up on load (according to the list) might work with original disc, at least Wario Ware: Smooth Moves worked.
- Since the current drive chips are supposedly transparent, it shouldn't make a difference if using an original or backup - if it works with an original then it's more likely that the backup was a low-quality burn or on low-quality media (or even a bad ISO). Remember both originals and backups are region patched in the same way by the chip. --Dirtie 15:56, 10 October 2007 (CEST)
Mario Strikers Charged Football (PAL)
Use this area to discuss the Allstars release of Strikers/PAL, rather than filling up the notes. After the dust settles, a summary can be put into the notes. -- Dsbomb 02:22, 26 May 2007 (CEST)
PAL to NTSC-U
- Works fine for Wiifree, Chiip, Wiinja Deluxe and Wiikey
-
It must be patched for Cyclowiz - The auto-update may ruin the Wii Settings if you don't have the latest (v2.2U or v2.2J) update from Nintendo. (See pic)
Strikers Online is also working on modded Wii's in the U.S. and Canada. The servers have been off and on the last few days, but U.S. and Canada Wii's will connect and play the same as PAL machines.
-- Wanted to say I have a Cyclowiz 3.0 updated, and I was at 2.2U, let the disc update run, and it works fine without patching the Allstars release. Not sure why mine worked and the others didn't?
-- Tested on Wiinja Deluxe unpatched, Update 2, v2.2U. Updated from disc, plays fine.
-- Tested on Wiikey Wii NTSC-U, with 2.2U Firmware. Works fine.
-- Tested on OpenWii NTSC-U, with 2.2B Firmware. Works fine. (Patched to NTSC-U w/ RegionFrii)
On my Japanese Wii (Wiikey, 2.2J) I get a dialogue box in Japanese with only an 'OK' button when trying to launch this game. I turned off my Wii afraid that it was a firmware confirmation and would brick my Wii. Anybody know what this dialogue says and if its safe to hit 'OK'?
Answer to my question - Pressing ok does some kind of check, but does not brick the Wii in any way. The game worked fine after doing this.
-- Confirm that. In japanese Wii, the game runs a check to determine wish version is installed on the Wii. Just press Ok and wait for, then the Wii will reboot and the game will run.

NO! IT IS NOT OKAY
My wii can't go into setting anymore and it was half-bricked after running NTSC USA MARIO STRIKER CHARGED. I upgraded my jap wii to 2.2j days ago and all the other games are fine unless this one.
OK with PAL version on Japanese Wii. I hit ok and have had no problems. Recentely updated to 3.0 just fine.
Biohazard 4 Wii Edition
Japanese version has violence removed, not really worth the download. Works on 60hz only.
- But could be helpful: it contains japanese firmware-update V2.2J!
Has anyone got the 480p working? I can only get it to work in 480i/60Hz, if i try setting 480p in the Wii options menu the game blacks out after booting. Confirmed only 480i/60Hz. (J) Biohazard on Pal Wii (WiiKey).
Harvest Moon
(J) Harvest Moon (DMZ) - I have not noticed any graphic error, I was first to report the game so I might have been a bit fast when I tested all modes. But in 480P I don't recall any problem, could be the mode or the screen for the one reporting problems.
A list of GameCube games that work on modded Wiis?
I suggest we make a similar list for GC games that do work on modded Wiis and those that dont work. Whether they work cross-region is also something that could be listed.
Super Mario Sunshine (NTSC) does not work on the Australian WiiKey enabled PAL machine
Some people are making a list here: http://wiki.gbatemp.net/index.php/Gamecube_Compatibility_List (Doesn't work)
Link above doesn't work anymore, has it been moved or deleted?
http://wiki.gbatemp.net/index.php?title=GCOS_Gamecube_Compatibility_List --Dirtie 16:00, 10 October 2007 (CEST)
Latest firmware version numbers
Just another suggestion, maybe it would be a good idea to keep a list of firmware version numbers, or at least put the latest firmware version number for each region at the top of this page. (I know at the moment all of them are at 2.2 (2.2U, 2.2J...), but at some point in time they were different, and that brought about the Super Paper Mario disaster)
Call of Duty 3
NTSCU->PAL Not working with the patched iso (regionfrii 1.21) neither with the wiikey region free (unpatched iso). This is at least in 480p/60hz.
DVD-R and DVD+R
Do take note that some games only work with DVD-R. I burnt some on DVD+R and the majority worked, the rest have to be burnt in DVD-R for them to work.
- Do you have some examples to back that up? I haven't heard of that requirement from anyone before. Are you talking about games from your own region, other regions, or what? -- Dsbomb 07:14, 26 July 2007 (CEST)
- Yes, it seems DVD+R are bad for our wii, just as low-cost rolings are.
On a different note, DVD+R discs burned with one burner might not work, while burning the same content on the same brand of DVD+Rs might work on when using an other (newer) DVD burner.
Wario WareSmooth Moves (QwiiF)
Wario WareSmooth Moves (QwiiF) - U-NTSC works on PAL with WiiKey with the recent system update 3.0E (I think). Just updated and it works fine now.
Dunno about 50/60 Hz, so didn't change it. Is that a tv or a wii setting??
- It's a setting in your Wii options - if you haven't changed it it'll be on 50Hz (the default).
WiiBrickBlocker
Someone (not registered) removed from the table this:
WiiBrickBlocker* | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | Visual Studio 2005 (VB) | 1.3 |
*WiiBrickBlocker does NOT change the ISO region. It replaces the Update Partition with a partition without any update, so the Wii can't update and brick itself.
I suggest re-adding it.
--Teto 17:57, 30 August 2007 (CEST)
Go ahead, that's why this is a wiki :) --Dirtie 11:38, 1 September 2007 (CEST)
Naruto Japanese Version
Naruto Shippuuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen does not work on NTSC-U even after patching with Region frii 1.21. I know a couple people who tried it any wasted a few dvds.
Guitar Hero III on PAL??
has any1 tried guitar hero III on PAL or NTSC-J yet? And would any1 know if an american controller would work on a japanese or european wii?
Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn (ZRY) on NTSC-J
It's good to know that the game locks up on load, but it would be even better to know which config was used to come to this result?? Need your feedback!
OK, thanx for the edit (no WBB patch and you can run the game); I'd like to know if you can avoid the duplicate channel glitch by patching the game to ntsc-j with region frii?
Many people complaint the game doesn't contain any update ( tested on 3.0J firmware), they still can't play it even without WBB.
Hmm, could this be a media issue? I'm gonna burn this on both +R and -R.
Tried doing the Metroid prime 3 trick with the pulling power cable, doesn't work. Tried it with WBB for checking, doesn't work. Tried it without WBB and updated using the disc update, doesn't work either and i got duplicate channels. Used the new wiikey beta for checking that didn't work. Went on forums and no one seems to have gotten it working on a 3.1J yet but it seems to work well on pal :(
Haven't tried it yet, but I remenber that month ago, I tried to pop up the jap version on my wii (ntsc-j, wiikey 1.2). The game contained an update that wasn't a firmware update, and even after that it would lock up while loading... Will let you know what happen this time wit ntsc-u version.
DVD+RW and DVD-RW
Dose wii support DVD+/- RW disk for iso burning? I used to burn iso with dvd-r(singel layer) for my Japanese version Wii and those work great.But Wii dosen't recognize the RW disk,neither DVD+ nor DVD-. :((
Previously tested games are now displayed in blanked spots? WTF??
So who is doing this, and for what purpose?? Is it because he/she has actually done some serious testing and discovered that many game are said to work but don't, is it a bug?? Is it some random drunk/stoned polish guy trying to piss everyone off?? EDIT: wasn't trying to offend polish people, my grandma is polish :)
- I can't find any edits in the past few days that have had that much erased. If you find the edits let me know via forum PM (inclucde links) and I can look in to it.
