I got this message today from one of our site visitors.. maybe some of you have some insight?
I just bought a Wii last week end, it as already been modified with a modchip (I don’t actually know which one it is), but the problem is that my Wii is the Japanese version so I have all my menus in Japanese, I was wandering if there was any modchip or piece of software that can change the operating system to the English one?
I am quite struggling with the Japanese menus and the weather, news and shop channels are all in Japanese as well!!!!! I would like to be able to use the pretty cool features the Wii has to offer.
Please help me… Is there anything already available or is there any plan to do it in the near future?
Comments (4169)The first release of Midi controlled instruments for Wii has been released.
This will help all of you Mac owners out there who are dying to play the drums with your Wii-mote!
A linux version of the software is also reported to be in development.
You can find the software here.
Comments (3294)This robot is taking modding your wii to the extreme. Not only are we modding our Wii to make our lives richer and more fun, we are making robots have that fun for us.
In the video below you will see a robot that was designed for the sole purposed of bowling strikes. It is the ultimate competitor, try beating something that bowls consistent perfect games!

The Perfect Gag-Gift for any Wii Fanboy…….or Waramp.
by Colin Geddes
April 3, 2007 - Making the Wii accessible to almost everyone was Nintendo’s main goal when designing their nextgen console. ThinkGeek has taken this ideal one step further in developing the WiiHelm!
According to their site, ThinkGeek developed the WiiHelm upon predicting that ‘..the average gaming geek is just not up to the strenuous task of vigorous arm movement for longer than 10 minutes.’
The package will contain the helmet which holds the Wii Remote, and some foot pedals that act as the Wii Remote buttons.
I really can’t imagine how ridiculously uncomfortable it would be to play Wii Sports using my head..I’m positive my neck would hurt far more than my nerdy little arms do after 10 minutes. Possibly someone out there will pick one up, try it out, and post an article to change our minds.
At any rate, check out their site–there’s a movie showing the WiiHelm in action.
