US Super Mario Galaxy Not Compatible With Jap Wii, Oh Well…Back To Guitar Hero
I’m all excited to have Super Mario Galaxy and Guitar Hero III at the same time but sadly my US version of Super Mario Galaxy is not compatible with my Japanese Wii. The Wii can detect the game but after you press the “Start” button, the game simply doesn’t load and leave you with a black screen, cut off your Wii Remote and “silence” fills the air. I have to restart my Wii all over again.
And so until Nintendo has a firmware update to solve this Mario unfriendlyness, I’ll be fretting and strumming my Gibson guitar.

HOWEVER there is a solution and I will guide you to doing this. Firstly you will need a few programs to change settings in the “iso” so go get em
1) First program you will need is “Trucha Signer” you can get the torrent here http://www.sumotorrent.com/en/details/1016530/wii%20scrubber%20and%20trucha%20with%20key.bin%20file%20mytvstream.com.html this torrent also comes with “wiiscrubber” but you dont need that. You need the “key.bin” and make sure the “key.bin” file is in the same folder as Trucha Signer folder or you will get an error message saying “error decrypting data”
2) The second program you will need is “wii game language patcher or wglp.exe” get it here http://wiihack.de/downloads.php?do=file&id=179
3) The third program you will need is “Generic Wii Patcher” and you can get it here http://www.eurasia.nu/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=4837&ttitle=Generic_Wii_Patcher_v1.11
4) The 4th program is not necessary but I highly recommend it as if you don’t use this program there is a possibility of Bricking your Wii…anyway the program is “Wii Brick Blocker” get it here http://wbb.rockman18.com/?page=home&ln=en
5) Get ImgBurn to burn the ISO http://www.imgburn.com
Ok Here we go step by step..Let’s say you just downloaded “SuperMarioGalaxy-USA-Wii” doesnt matter if its Pal you just want it to work on your Japanese Wii.
-Open up “Trucha Signer” Click Select KeySet and click on Custom Keyset1.
-Now click on Image and Open ISO locate your ISO and open. Now in the white bellow, expand disc till you see 2 Partitions, expand the second one, then expand SYSFILES then right click on “main.dol” and extract this file to the “ wii game language patcher “ folder.
-Now in the folder Drag&drop the main.dol to wglp.exe . In the wglp Select a language (For example, if you patch an NTSC-U or Pal game, please select [1] en) and hit any key to finish.
-Now open up “Generic Wii Patcher” Before you can use any option you need to load a (main).dol file by clicking on open. Now under the” Error 001”Just hit “Search” and let the program (hopefully) find the drive check. After that just hit “Remove 001″.
-Now under the “Console language detection” Again just hit search and wait for the search result. Just select the game’s language from the dropdown list which in this case is English and and press “Patch to new language”. Now your finished click “save”
- Go back again in Trucha Signer that was never closed and right click on the main.dol and replace it with the one in the wii game language patcher folder. Now right click on the second PARTITION and click Trucha Sign it!
-Now if you want you can open up Wii Brick Blocker locate the image and patch it to remove any updates that might cause the game to Brick your wii.
-After that you will want to burn the ISO with “ImgBurn” open it select Write image file to disc, find the iso and burn it and a low speed, I recommend 2.4x …After that you are done with a working copy of the game that was giving you a black screen before.
