wii wont play wii fit

about a month ago i modded a friends 4.0 virgin wii with the 4.0 hack and told him never to do any updates from nintendo and such, he says he hasnt updated but for some reason his wii will no longer play wii fit and another game which i forget the name of right now... anyway im going over there today to take a look at it and see if i can fix it but google has failed me and i cant seem to find any posts anywhere concerning this issue. if anyone knows anything about this or a way to fix it let me know.

Wii Fit backup or import?

no he actually owns it, both wii fit and wii music tell him that he needs to update to play but both those games work on lower versions of wii, and he has 4.0u.

Its just a harmless IOS update. Just update. (Or use start patch)

Or GeckoOS

startpatch if it is just an update disc check but if its an import...... gecko os

Say what?

You could use either regardless of whether or not the game is an import.

All StartPatch does is disable the system menu from reading/recognizing the update partition and region of the disc.
All GeckoOS does is launch a game via ignoring the update partition and disc region.

(I think StartPatch is more convenient to use though)

Actually there is a problem with startpatch and region free wii discs (check the talk page)

The main page claims the NTSCU hacks all work perfectly.

(The only issues I saw on the talk page were with people who didn't have their Wii's set up properly)

Look at the "No GCN" section. Region free wii doesn't work! You loose the ability to play GC games.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work. According to the conversation, it does work, it just disables GCN functionality.

Also, it's impossible to know which versions contain this bug. Perhaps the 4.1 versions fix the bug. Or perhaps only the 4.0 japanese version has the "No GCN" bug. The discussion is far to vague to gather any concrete information from.

I happen to know from personal experience that it is 4.1 that has that bug.

Sorry that is what I meant to say.

So 4.0 is fine?

Also, what 4.1 region are you using?

I never tried on 4.0 and I am on 4.1U
