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

May 18th, 2008 by bushing · 171 Comments

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 the updated “repad” versions.

dCiSo has generously offered to host these on console-scene.info:

    my kids just used their new (birthday present) wii japanese version with mariokart uk version. then i cannot get to setting screen, it keeps coming up with opera error message. i guessed from the above that this is semi brick!?

    i am not very technical, how do i get the file from the link to a disc? a cd-r or a dvd-r? then what do you do? can someone be kind enough to provide a step to step idiot guide for me.

    this will be much appreciated.

    thx

    thanks : Yes, I still have/had the dual channel displays. Only one of each works. Simply DRAG them to page 2 and you’ll not see them anymore.

    XROX :

    Unfortunatly, NO
    Just use the files located here. This is a proven working solution. OR…….wait till a new FW version appears on newly released game [who knows how long that’ll be]

    Cottonian:

    1.)Download the file

    2.) Use WINRAR to unzip the file to a ISO image
    Right click>extract here

    3.) Use ImgBurn [free] to burn the ISO image.
    ImgBurn is a super easy SW to operate.

    Use a decent quality DVD-R media

    Ok, we should see exactly WHAT Disc drives were dealing with.
    To those that can/can’t get it to work; Post the make and/or model of the burner. Be sure to label it WORKING/NOT WORKING. ALWAYS keep drivers up to date, if you can.
    Maybe we can figure that problem out easier.
    After all, Drives can be racist against media.
    Does one HAVE to have a modded Wii for this to work? Firmware 3.2e (I think)
    Not bricked (small whisper) yet.

    BTW, is it possible to get perfect dark on the VC through modding/hacking another VC game? I’m sure it won’t show up in Shop channel in this lifetime.

    One more thing, I find that if one uses image burning tools, set them between 1x-4x; it allows for better chance of decent results, also try a lens cleaner, if you can get one. Once a month seems okay, better to keep our stuff clean and efficient, right?
    Let’s hope I never have to deal with a bricked Wii, as I can’t afford to get another, let alone pay for any type of repairs.
