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 compatibility should be identical between the applications and the modchips.

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).
  
The tools work by modifying a small section in the image that contains region information.
+
There may be errors in the list simply due to misreported information or as a result of media problems. You are free to [[#Adding to the list|add to the list]] and correct any mistakes you might see.
  
== Adding to the list ==
+
For a list of Gamecube games that are compatible with modded Wiis, check here the [[Gamecube Compatibility List]].
 
+
When editing the list, be sure to include the group name if using a scene ISO, and for PAL consoles, make sure you test the game in both 50Hz (576i) and 60Hz (480i) modes, and include in the note that you have done so. If for some reason you can only test in one mode, mark it appropriately for that mode, but include a note saying if it was tested in 50Hz or 60Hz. This way other people can test it in the other mode, and modify the entry as appropriate.

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.

What exactly is the game number used for? Can't that column be removed?
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.
