Brings Region Free to the Nintendo Wii Without a Modchip

YouTube Preview Image

Here’s an interesting find for those of us with Nintendo Wiis.  Hackers are showing off a program that loads through the Wii homebrew channel and allows you to run international Wii and Gamecube discs in spite of existing region protection.  The hack is completely software-based and Nintendo has eliminated the functionality of older Wii region protection workarounds.  This unnamed exploit looks like the next big thing for those of you willing to navigate Japanese menus to play titles a few days/months early and it should be downloadable soon.  via Gizmodo | DCEmu | Kotaku
