I have had the message from Japan referring me to opera etc for about a year. I have a Japanese console which came with 30 games(which I guess are copies now!) I just put up with it and played my copies..until today!!
I have registered on this forum as I have had so many questions answered by people here and just hope this helps others. I bought Wii Fit and board on Ebay on 11th August(Monday) and paid £39.99 plus £50 P&P. It came today!
All menus are in Japanese obviously, but Google found a translation for set up(after I had muddled through it, not too hard). Anyway, a screen appeared with a progress meter for about 5 mins, then BINGO, settings menu was back and fully operational!!!
I am not connected to the internet however, as have no clue where to find my router password, any ideas gratefully received!
Thanks to all, and I hope this helped someone!
