It looks like new release (1.2.3) will not work properly with NTFS hard drive, it will work but on english. With another HDD in FAT32 – every strange russian letter looks as usual 😀 😆
And works fine for me without any HDD, but in moment when i plug into Wii HDD in NTFS – problem appears
It not depends on version of HomeBrewChannel, tested with 1.0.8 and 1.1.0
