Those who experienced the misfortune of having their Wii bricked by trying to load an imported game (because they forgot to use applications like Gecko Region Free) can now heave a sigh of relief, because Bushing managed to come up with the NTSC-U Semi Brick Fix. The application is actually an ISO containing these three files:
Here are some notes from the homebrew developer about the Semi Brick Fix:
System Menu v289 is the newest NTSC version of the system menu available on Nintendo's download servers; it's what you will get if you go into the Settings Menu and perform an update. I packed it into a WAD, and maintained the original, valid Nintendo signature, so it should be safe to install. (The disc, however, is fakesigned. This should not be a problem.)
So how to use the NTSC-U Semi Brick Fix? Simple: all you need to do is to burn the download file below to a disc. A word of warning, however: this program has been successfully tested on three Wii units, but that is still no guarantee that it won't brick your Wii. Also, DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM ON NTSC/J or PAL units. Doing so WILL BRICK the poor Wiis.
Consider yourself warned enough? If so, go ahead and download the NTSC-U Semi Brick Fix. There is no readme file included with the download, so better read up about Wii homebrew if you're not too sure with what you're doing. To quote fellow QJ writer Ryan C: a well-informed homebrew enthusiast is a well-informed homebrew enthusiast with an un-bricked Wii.
