Power Supply on NTSC (US) Wii

[ShadowDancer]

Hi guys, can I use a UK Wii Power supply on a US Wii?
If not, please may I ask the best option..

Thank You.

[smouty]

You can. I have always done this.

[ShadowDancer]

Ahh that is handy. Thank you sir

[ShadowDancer]

Is fee-bay my best chance of the 'blue' NTSC US pre owned console? Have seen a few sell quite cheap on completed listings...
Is there anywhere else I can Look?

Thank You.

[smouty]

I don't know about the blue wii but it is so easy to mod a wii into any region that I'd go for a cheapy PAL one TBH.

No need to buy a US model to get a blue one either. It was released here in a bundle with Mario & Sonic Olympics. Think it may be the later reissue of the Wii which lacks GC compatibility and the relevant ports however (but that might be wrong).

[ShadowDancer]

I have a PAL Wii, I just fancied a different coloured US Model. I don't want to mod/soft mod, besides, these things are cheap now.
I really want the Kirby collection (NTSC) There are a few others, Always fancied Data East classics too.

I'm keen to get a US Model, put it above/or below! My PAL unit and just swap the 3 cables when needed. Sensor, RGB & PSU.

That's just me I guess, but, I would prefer that.

You're missing one thing. NTSC firmware doesn't support RGB cables.

[wakka]

Fair enough. The Wii's Homebrew Channel is brilliant though. My launch NTSC-U system has a knackered laser but is still trucking thanks to CFG USB Loader, which is an amazing app.

If you are going to run 2 systems, might as well buy a wireless sensor bar. They cost pennies. Also you should use component rather than RGB for the Wii's tip top progressive output (if you are using a compatible TV, guessing it's a CRT if you're using RGB). It's compatible with both NTSC and PAL systems unlike RGB.

[ShadowDancer]

I've got a CRT, I long ditched Plasma. I play more retro, so it was an obv choice. I thought if I had two wii's, I've got a spare then too should anything go wrong. Although, this might be scuppered as I didn't know a US Wii didn't do RGB

[ShadowDancer]

Thank you Speedy, that would have been costly, and thank you wakka for the wireless sensor bar link :-) And of course Smouty.

So...please can you link me to the best method of getting my PAL Wii Multi Region? I don't care about homebrew or emulation (for now anyway)
More about playing US games.....

Links removed.

[sj33]

Can't link, but you need to install the Homebrew Channel using an exploit such as Bannerbomb, then run an application called GeckoOS as a homebrew application.

I have been thinking about this a long, long time as I don't want to use my buly step down but as smouty says, won't plugging a UK Wii PSU to a US Wii blow this up at all??

[charlesr]

The output from a PSU is the same. It's only the input that is different - you blow a US110V PSU up if you try and fit 240V into it.
