Please restore game IDs. The first letter is completely USELESS. If you try to order games by first letter, you obtain a corrupted table. The right way to order games by alphabetical order is to order them by rom title.

Instead, rom ID is really useful. Please read always rules before editing a page. If someone's interested in this strange 1st letter table, you can find a backup version here. Please talk on the discussion page before making these big editings.

No, the game number is the release number and should be the same as the one in the gbatemp database

Information

Using the same method as the current "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 compatibility should be identical between the applications and the modchips - consequentially this list can be used for both modchips and software patching methods (until these methods change).

There may be errors in the list simply due to misreported information or as a result of media problems. You are free to add to the list and correct any mistakes you might see.

For a list of Gamecube games that are compatible with modded Wiis, check here the Gamecube Compatibility List.

*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.
