One of the well known hackers of the Wii-scene (mainly for his Twilight hack), Bushing, has released a tool to fix semi-bricked Wii’s. Great work Bushing
By popular request –
I’ve made a disc which will hopefully fix any Wii that got bricked by an imported Mario Kart game (or similar). It is an ISO with one partition — an update partition — and it contains three files:
* IOS30-64-v1040.wad
* SystemMenu-v289.wad
* __update.inf:
System Menu v289 is the newest 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.)
I’m including IOS30 as well, just in case — it’s what this system menu uses. I would expect all systems out there to already have it installed, but hey.
Obligatory warning — I have tested this on 3 Wiis and it seemed to work fine, but I can’t make any promises that it won’t brick your Wii. It contains no safeguards. Use your own regions.. If you use it on an NTSC/J or Pal Wii and youre on NTSC-U, it WILL BRICK you.
Good luck!

Pretty nice if some1 Semi-bricked it you can (hopefully) recover it...
I'm just interested in where you got the PAL and JAP disc from? Because in the news they write "If you use it on an NTSC/J or Pal Wii, it WILL BRICK you."
Thx in advance ;D
