sorry ,this forum does not help or condone the use of backup games, as it usually involves piracy.

A moderator will delete this topic. I would if I could...

i think he means import as in from a different country, not backup. You should have winrar to extract files, and put the boot dol file of whatever app you will use in the apps folder under a subfolder named what you want it to be named. To play import games, get gecko os, availlable on the homebrew browser.

Hi
Thanks for the answer just need a bit more info which is where you say put the boot dol file of whatever app you will use in the apps folder under a subfolder named what you want it to be named when you say whatever app i will use do you mean gecko or the name of the game also do i also load the game disc into the wii as well or is the boot dol file in replacement of the disc.....
I use 7zip to unsiz files

ok. if you're going to use gecko os, the navigation of the sd card should look like this: root---->apps---->gecko os and that's where you would put the boot.dol file. As for games, once you load gecko os from the homebrew channel if you did it right, you will go to boot options or something like that, and there's an option called region free, turn that on, put the disk in, and hit "Boot game". ta-da! As for other apps, just name a subfolder in the apps folder what it should be (example: Wii64, DVDx installer, whatever) and put the proper boot.dol file in. What i would reccomend putting on the sd card would be the homebrew browser, so if you have internet on, you can save apps to the sd card with no computer middleman. Of course, you need to download the homebrew browser off wiibrew first. Hope this helps.

well, it used to, thanks for changing it!

Both UK and Spain uses the same pal version of the Wii, (in fact the PAL version of the Wii is often referred as UK Wii) so you don't need anything special to play spanish Pal games on a UK Pal Wii.

You only need to change region when you want to use imports from other zones (USA, Japan or Korea).

hmmmmmm, wierd. i hadn't heard of that before, but i looked it uo and sure as shit, there it is. but then again, i only have 5 wii games, so i don't worry about regions....yet.
