<title>StartPatch... Is it worth it?</title>
<description>I was just reading about the Start Patch on wiibrew and it seems pretty sweet. Only thing is It says I need cIOS and I hear from u guys that I should just stay away from that stuff. But someone told me about StartPatch saying you can get free Wii games? I dont think we can talk about that though here I&#039;m just wondering if its worth it or not.

Also on a side note, what exactly is FTPii? I read about it and frankly it confused me</description><link>http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,32398,32398#msg-32398</link><lastBuildDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 23:41:48 +0200</lastBuildDate>

Region free channels gives you... region free channels. (You could boot channels you could normally get from Japan or Europe)<br /><br />You can boot the recovery menu by pressing Y on a Gamecube controller. (The recovery menu is what a Savemii boots to when you use one) I don&#039;t know much about the recovery menu.<br /><br />Force disk region is basically region free disks.<br /><br />Remove no copy protection allows you to copy save files that normally don&#039;t allow you to copy them. (So you could copy them to the SD Card, for instance)]]></description>
