This is an Aroma plugin that allows you to launch a title of an other region and/or force the language of a title.
Note: This plugin is included with Aroma and generally does not need to be installed separately.
Installation
Copy regionfree.wps into sd:/wiiu/environments/aroma/plugins.
User guide
The plugin incorporates built-in auto-detection, making it functional out of the box in most cases.
Configuration
Via the plugin config menu (L+D-Pad Down+Minus on the GamePad), you can further configure the plugin with the following options:
- Auto detect region/language:
- Enables/Disables the auto detection of the region/language. When disabled, you can set the region and language for a title on each title start.
- Enabled by default.
- Force auto detection for in-region titles:
- Forces auto detection when starting a title of your region, even if auto detection is disabled.
- Enabled by default.
- Prefer system settings for in-region titles:
- Forces the region, country, and language of your console when starting a title of your region (ignoring "Default language for XXX").
- Enabled by default.
- Default language for EUR:
- Sets the default language for EUR titles.
- Set to English by default.
- Default language for USA:
- Sets the default language for USA titles.
- Set to English by default.
If auto detection fails, you must enter a region/language on the title boot. The plugin keeps track of the region/language selected for a title.
