Hi there, I have uploaded a file on the following link http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/5026890/ce5fe369/sharing.html?rnd=64 copy the file which fits your Wii (Japanese or US or Europe) and use Winrar to open the ISO file. Then burn the iso file onto a DVD with low speed like 2x. Then, insert the DVD into your Wii and play the game like normal, it will ask for software update and click yes. Then take out the DVD and check your Menu setting, it comes back.
***** (this is me fixing my question) i have done everything hbokhary said- ive downloaded the japanese wii system menu update, burned it on a disc, and the wii dosent recognizes it. what do i do?
Yes it's a semi-brick,
I had the same problem "marc:EU/EU/ENG/index01.html" but I fixed it with the new Wii downgrader (Google it!!!).
I used this to downgrade to firmware V2.0 English and
hey- presto problem solved.
I then upgraded to a recent firmware using a game disk

Hi, i had this problem but it dons't solve.

can anyone help?
I have a question for hbokhary i tried downloading the file but it's not complete, has anyone else had this issue?
It sounds like you purchased a Japanese Wii that was intended to be used in Japan. As Tech Doctor mentioned, all of the settings are local to the Wii. You shouldn't have to connect to anything.
Also Opera is an optional channel (The Internet Channel). It may not even be on your Wii. When the unit is powered on, does it not go to the channel screen? If it does, you should be able to click the Wii icon at the bottom right of the screen to get to the settings.
Craig Underhill Correction: The icon you are looking for on the main page is not on the right, it's on the left. If I remember correctly, it looks like a wrench. Sorry I misinformed you on my solution.

djk32 yes it goes to the channel screen, but it is when you click on the spanner to get into the settings that it tries to connect to the internet, spoke to nintendo, they said it was most likley chipped and couldn't help me

Mark Snell All the settings are local, so it shouldn't be trying to connect to a web site. Give it a couple of minutes.

tna83 Please shed some light to my wii problem.
I have a US version
Mod, I inserted a game disc and it automatically did an update then my
wii hanged. I restarted my wii eject the disc then tried it again. No
update selected the game and it hanged again. After another restart I
tried my other game disc, it worked and I was able to play the other
disc.
My dilemma: I noticed that after the update, I can't access the wii settings. When I select the icon it follows an error page
"
You tried to access the address marc:FIX/US/index01.html which is
currently unavailable. Please make sure that the web address (URL) is
correctly spelled and punctuated. then try reloading the page.
Make
sure your internet connection is actives and check whether other
applications that rely on the same connection are working."
