Hello everyone,

I have some questions regarding Wii systems. Especially models that are region locked, like this Japanese Wii I've had since as far as i can remember.
I've used french on this thing for the entire time as there wasn't any english. But I know little to no french now and would really like to just be able to switch it to english.
I've read online on reddit or other places that these models don't even let you change to anything other than japanese, so me having french and a bunch more language options tell me that it isn't exactly true. Now, I have no idea how to verify the authenticity of this unit that I have, but it does run all the titles as smooth as one can expect. I used to have a HDD of games and lucky me that the games were in english so i suppose it isn't much of an issue. But it still comes down to the same question:

1. Is there ANY process of making this happen? If so HOW can i possibly do it.
(if it involves anything that may wipe the internal memory, then it's a no go for me as all my game file saves are still on this thing to this very day)

2. I've also seen some sort of Wii-U serial database on GBAtemp which apparently showed what type of unit you have and I wanna know if that's a thing for the Wii console too and in that case, what is mine (I won't include the numbers. Serial : LJF

I guess the J means japanese but what of the rest?

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @sp3off, I would check first on the Switch CFW guide to make sure its safe to update.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If you really want to ensure that you're super cautious, don't update.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    in fact, that kinda applies to real life too because discussing them with anybody who doesn't share the same views as you do just leads to conflicts
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yet we keep bringing them up
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:

    @SylverReZ So far on the hacks.guide website nothing seems to indicate that it's safe or not

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    some people are capable of calmly discussing such things, but on a public forum or anywhere with a large amount of people, you're going to have people who can't

    Scires seems to have changed his own 1.7.0 release from "pre-release" to "release", while the tag is still named prerelease

    I do not miss moderating religion topics in general OTC.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i would even say most people who have any strong opinions on either of them aren't able to discuss them calmly
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't get why we keep discussing things we say we hate
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    This is why we can't have nice things.
