CheckRegion - Detect any Wii's original region

[JoostinOnline]

Description
CheckRegion gives region related information about your Wii. This includes your model, serial number, serial code, and country code. It's main purpose is a library for use in other applications such as NEEK2O and SysCheck, but it includes a sample program which reports all the information.

All you need is a way to run the dol. Any exploit or app/channel capable of loading dol files should work. No cIOS is needed.

Yeah, just run it from the HBC. It will say "Your Wii's original region was XXX" where XXX is the region. Yours should say JAP.

I tested it on a USA Wii that I region changed to EUR and it reported back.

Your Wiis original region was USA

I don't see why it wouldn't work if you're basing it off the serial number stored in settings.txt. LU = USA, LEH/LEM/LEF = EUR, LAH = AUS, LJF = JAP, LKM = KOR. Pretty straight forward stuff.
