Information
Using the same method as the partially region free modchips, there are several computer applications which can replicate the effect on Wii ISO's prior to burning. They all use a very similar method of patching and compatability is identical.
The tools work by modifying a section in the image that contains region information. Surprisingly this area is unencrypted.
