It is a Japanese Wii but I have used the any region changer to change to United states.
Now it is on Version 4.1u
Problems:
1) Can never load any games from the main channel. Have to run Homebrew => Gecko Os to play games
2) Never reads disc on main screen.
3) Downloaded Wii Sport Resorts and I get a message "Error #001 unauthorized device has been detected"
Questions:
1) Since my wii is NTSC (i think please confirm) can I still play pal games?
2) How do I fix the disc reading problem?
3) Should I update my wii?
4) Is there another better program that everyone uses similar to Gecko taht boots up games?
5) Next time I download games should I download PAL or NTSC
Problems:
1) I'm not sure about this. You may to virginize your Wii, then re-mod it.
2) Same as #1, unless you have a messed up cIOSCORP install or something
3) Common problem, enable alternative .dol loading (and 002 fix if needed) and let the video play. The Wii will either crash or go back to the main menu. Then disable alternative .dol loading (and the 002 fix if used) and it should play fine. In simple terms, the game needs to play the video first, but the loader can't switch from the video from the game afterwards.
Questions:
1) Yes, but you will need to force the region of the games with your current loader
2) Same as Problem #1
3) Do you have Bootmii or Priiloader? If so, then it should be safe to. I do suggest trying other things first. If you don't have Bootmii or Priiloader, then you might get a brick when updating.
4) I'm not too up to date with Gecko as a loader. Are you using it as a backup loader or are you using it to play legit games? If backups, there is a ton of options out there. If legit, there are some others out there, but Gecko is the most supported.
5) Same as your region if possible, otherwise you'll have to force the region.
