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!

maybe this time they "really mean it"

"I promise you waninkoko we are NOT going to share any more info with you. This time fur realz y0"

lol, I guess this will maybe prove that he is capable of more than they give him credit for. They say he just rips off everyones code and pawns it off as his own. BUt where is any other persons downgrader, or region faker for him to steal?

I like how he always gives credit to bushing. I am sure its more out of spite now than anything. Its funny that Twiizers thinks that ninty REALLY thinks they are "good" people and will leave them alone. I dont think I am the only one that can see that ANY homebrew on the wii is against nintys intentions, and they see them all the same. Whats the difference between Emulators that take away profit form VC, and people ACTUALLY stealing VC games and using waninkokos tools to install them????
