Wii Semi-Brick

I bought a Nintendo Wii, a Japanese Wii, also bought a a few games, one of them Wild Earth, African Safari. I don’t understand japanese, so when i played Wild Earth, i didn’t know the game installed installed firmware from its disc. Wild Earth is an US Version game. I didn’t know the installation cause conflict later on. A few days later, i explored Wii and found my Wii number, hit a wrong button (REGISTER) on screen, an Opera error appeared. I thought it was connection problem. I went to Wii Settings, and saw an Opera error as well. Fortunate for me, the error was Semi-Brick. I can play games, other Wii functions still work.

What is Wii Semi-Brick?. Guys from hackmii.com explain it, the result of installing updated System Menus from discs that came from other regions. Semi-brick displays an Opera error message, allows you to boot the system to the main menu, and play games, etc. However, you can’t get into the Settings menu (to enable WiFi, update the software, etc), because when you do, you are presented an Opera error message. You can read their explanation here

Hackmii find a way to fix Wii Semi-brick, launch their hack. The fix is simple. Download the latest version of the system menu for your Wii Region. Mine is a Japanese Wii, i just downloaded JAP (number 1 file). Extract file, it’s a RAR file. You’ll see ISO (an image file). Prepare DVD-R disc. I use GT-PRO DVD-R disc. Burn an image file to DVD Disc using Nero Express (Most people on Hackmii suggested imgburn), Speed 4x.

Insert DVD-R disc into Wii, hit Disc Menu on screen (top left) then follow the instructions.
My Wii settings is back !

I want to thank you to Hackmii for fixing my Wii Semi-Brick!
