Fresh from releasing his Custom Firmware Wiibrew programs, developer waninkoko has released another useful new program, Wii Region Changer, which does exactly what it says. Now you can play games and download from the Wii Shop Channel without concerning yourself with regional restrictions.
Note that you will need waninkoko’s Custom IOS37 rev 03 installed for this. If you are having problems with the region switch, you may also find his firmware downgrader useful. You can find both programs in the related articles section below.
It seems that this program also drove a wedge between waninkoko and Team Twiizers. Marcan and the rest of Team Twiizers have deemed waninkoko’s programs dangerous (including this one), and have decided not to share any more information with him.
Nevertheless, numerous reports have come in that the Wii Region Changer is effective. Please keep in mind though, that there may still be a danger of it bricking the Wii. Here’s a video of the Wii Region Changer, courtesy of linkinworm (a hearty thanks to you!).
Thanks to linkinworm for giving the heads up in the forums!
