Semi-brick fix (Todas las regiones)

NTSC Semi-brick fix disc
May 17th, 2008 by bushingBy popular request –

I’ve made a disc which will hopefully fix any NTSC Wii that got bricked by an imported Mario Kart game (or similar). It is an ISO with one partition — an update partition — and it contains three files:

* IOS30-64-v1040.wad
* SystemMenu-v289.wad
* __update.inf:

System Menu v289 is the newest NTSC version of the system menu available on Nintendo’s download servers; it’s what you will get if you go into the Settings Menu and perform an update. I packed it into a WAD, and maintained the original, valid Nintendo signature, so it should be safe to install. (The disc, however, is fakesigned. This should not be a problem.)

I’m including IOS30 as well, just in case — it’s what this system menu uses. I would expect all systems out there to already have it installed, but hey.

Obligatory warning — I have tested this on 3 Wiis and it seemed to work fine, but I can’t make any promises that it won’t brick your Wii. It contains no safeguards; use this ONLY on an NTSC (US) Wii. If you use it on an NTSC/J or Pal Wii, it WILL BRICK you. (If there is a need, I can make similar discs for those systems.)

Good luck!

Semi-brick fix discs for all three regions (hopefully)

As promised, here are discs to install the latest version of the system menu for each region — v288/v289/v290 for JAP/USA/PAL, respectively.
(these are just temporary links – dCiSo has generously offered to host these on console-scene.info):

wii-system-menu-update-JAP-v288.rar
wii-system-menu-update-USA-v289.rar
wii-system-menu-update-PAL-v290.rar

For more information on what these images are and how they were made, please read NTSC Semi-brick fix disc and NTSC Semi-brick fix disc, comment 22. The USA version is identical to the one in that article, but renamed for consistency with the other two.

Please note that I have not tested either of the NTSC/J or PAL versions the PAL version because I have no way to do so, and although I have double-checked them, they were created manually. Hopefully the first people to try these will comment below reporting success — before trying them yourself, please scroll down to see if anyone has reported problems, and I will update this entry once they have been confirmed to be safe and effective.
