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.
