Hacking VC Region Free Converter freethewads

[Dnestr]

Heres what I get for every game I try freethewads before:

Installing ticket (Nameofgame) ... OK!
Installing title (Nameofgame) Error! (ret = -2011)
Removing tickets... OK!

ERROR: Could not install WAD! (ret = -2011)

I can install these games with no prob without freethewads, but they give me an error if I try to run them since im on a japanse console.

Could someone out there have the answer?

I have the same problem as well. Shortening the name of my wad to a.wad certainly did not help either. I tried both USA and PAL versions of Opera Internet Channel Wiishop and it doesn't work.

After using freethewads using cmd, my wads cannot be installed by the wad installer too.

Anyone can help?

I'm getting that same problem (also a japanese wii user).

For a list of what WiiWare games are compatible with your region, visit http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=89964

Using Freethewads, you can pretty much get any WiiWare game to work with all NTSC-U and PAL consoles, assuming you have Wii Software version 3.2 or higher. There is a list of what's been dumped from what region.

Also, Freethewads works on a lot of VC games, but not all of them. It's recommended that you download the VC game version that corresponds with your Wii's region (PAL for PAL, NTSC-U for NTSC-U, etc).

I heard that nes and snes wads don't work with freethewads.
Is there a program that do work with them???

Hm, i used freethewads 3 months ago to unlock "World of Goo" to play it on my PAL-Wii, and it worked really fine.
But it seems that it doesnt work with "Sandy Beach". I can install the wad, but ater launching the game in the menu, the screen keeps black and wiimote is turning off...
Any solution?

I tried to convert The Last Ninja from NTSC to PAL and it came up with the Freeeeeeeeedom message.
It installs OK with wad manager but now it just reboots the Wii.

freethewad is outdated, use wwpacker, so much more options

thanks jan777

much easier!


how to make a wad region free?

open the RUN option from your start menu...
type CMD in and hit enter....
a DOS like windows should pop up...
drag and drop the FREETHEWADS into the DOS LIKE CMD WINDOW

next hit space bar---> 1 TIME
now drag and drop the .WAD file you want to be region free into the DOS LIKE WINDOW and hit enter while the DOSLIKE WINDOW is your "active window" and it will declare the word
FREEEEEEEEEEEEDDOOOOOMMMMMM to confirm your region patch has worked



works fine on my PAL Wii
patching and installing just took me 30 seconds

An even easier way which works perfectly..
Drop the wad file onto freethewads.exe and it's done..

freethewad didn't work, neither did wwpacker.
system just resets when you run the game.
