So, I know that you can enable region free options in priiloader
But without priiloader, can I region free my vWii?

I'm not sure about what you want, Wii virtual console on Wii U (the ones you buy on eShop)?; virtual console games on vWii side?; or Wii games on vWii?

Ok then, I guess he just need get a wad from pal region, or patch the usa wad with regionfree. For retail ones I don't think there's a permanent solution, I would go with riivolution, priiloader is risky imo.

sneek has all the preloader hacks abilities...

code from the smenu.c 4.3e system menu version part of sneek code
(other region are in there too)

Code:
                                //No Background Music
                                if (HACKS_NBM) *(u32*)0x0136BD5C = 0x4E800020;

                                //Move disc channel
                                if (HACKS_MDC) *(u32*)0x013B099C = 0x60000000;
                                break;
                            case 546: //4.3E
                                //Region free Wii games
                                if (HACKS_RFW) {

                                //Region free everything

Doesn't work.
VC loads console then the wbfs... not the HBL then SNEEK then the wbfs..

Ok... I decrypted the game... It contains a fw.img (probably vWii fw) and frisbiiU.rpx(dunno).
The rom is splitted in .nfs (max 256 MB)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And can I change my vWii region? On Wii there's AnyRegionChanger, does it work on vWii?
