    Hacking Cannot Load Retail KOR game on USA Wii

    Thank you damysteryman- Sure enough, I changed those manual settings in Neogamma (lang to Korean and video to NTSC 480p) and every Korean game I throw at it loads. I am somewhat curious as to why some of the other Korean games loaded fine without those setting changes, but it the end it works...

    Hacking Cannot Load Retail KOR game on USA Wii

    Thank you to the two posters for giving their input. Ok, well I decided to install a cIOS (d2x ver 6 with IOS57 (also tried IOS 56 and 58) as a base and I installed it in slot 249 each time). I am using the most recent version of Neogamma to load the discs. Now, some Korean retail discs load...

    Hacking Cannot Load Retail KOR game on USA Wii

    Hello, I have some Korean retail Wii games that I am attempting to load on my NTSC USA Wii. My Wii is a launch-date model that had the original Wiikey installed. As I understand it, modchip-enabled region-free loading through the Nintendo disk channel was crippled with a system update a while...

    PlayStation Vita Beats Wii U In Game Critics Best Of E3 Awards

    It seems the main criticisms of Nintendo are that they are "gimmicky", they give the consumer "underpowered" consoles, and that they ignore "hardcore" gamers. For home consoles, Nintendo was the first company to bring L/R shoulder buttons (SNES), a joystick (N64), force feedback (rumble pak -...

    Wii #2588 - Virtua Tennis 4 (USA)

    This just makes me want to dig out my Dreamcast and play the original. I remember the gameplay felt so smooth and natural. I wonder how this one stacks up?

    Starfox 64 3D Includes 3DS Mode, N64 Mode and Battle Mode but

    Wow I remember trading in a bunch of my SNES games for this at Funcoland. (I think the game was like $70 or $75) After many months I think I managed to get medals on every planet and run around with the star fox characters "on foot" in multiplayer. On small thing that I will miss in this...

    Tutorial Learning Japanese - The Nihongo FAQ

    I wanted to chime in that at least from my own experience, the fastest and most effective way to get a true "feel" for an East Asian writing system (be it Japanese, Korean or Chinese) is to practice writing characters over and over again, and eventually practice writing with a brush. The stroke...

    Tutorial Learning Japanese - The Nihongo FAQ

    I am more of a student of the Korean language, but given that Korean and Japanese share a significant amount of Chinese vocabulary, my study of Korean 漢字 has proven rewarding when playing some Japanese games. While I have little to no interest in learning the actual Chinese language, I for...

    Hardware Is the 3DS' NDS-Mode really an NDS Emulator?

    Another interesting note is that if you use DS-mode Download Play on the 3DS, when you detect the download play game, the old DS system menu appears on the 3DS! Take a look:

    Hardware 3DS World Language Font Support

    Just for kicks, I decided to test out mp3 file names in the 3DS mp3 player renamed to a few different world languages. I'm using a U.S. 3DS. Obviously, the English, French, Spanish and Portuguese languages work as you can change the entire system menu to those languages. If the characters...

    Sony Sued for PSN Security Breach

    I would love to see Sony go back to making parts for Nintendo consoles. (of course not network hardware) (SNES had a Sony sound chip I believe)

    NGP Vs. 3DS

    I feel that there isn't always a clear distinction between a "gimmick" and an "innovation". Let's even say that the Wiimote and 3D screen on the 3DS are gimmicks. Is that entirely bad? What I like about Nintendo is that they tend to focus on developing new ways for gamers to interact with...

    Hardware Jack Tretton calls the 3DS a “babysitting tool”

    I have read this forum for years, and barely comment, but I can't help but say my piece. I can't speak for any of you other gentlemen or ladies out there, but I am 25 and have been a gamer all my life. (started out with my parents' Colecovision) I have never had problems finding a girlfriend...

    DS #5410: Mabeop Cheonjamun DS2 - Choehuui Hanjamabeop (Korea)

    This game is based on a comic book/tv animation/ theater musical series which attempts to make learning Chinese characters (NOT the Chinese language ) fun for Korean children. While the Korean language does have its own unique writing system, much of Korean's etymology is based on Chinese...

    Hacking YSMenu/TTMenu Setup

    The guide is detailed and very good, but yesterday I used Retrogamer's version 6.47 DSTT update (download found on this website), and all I had to do was copy and paste the ysmenu folders over to my memory card, and then I had a functional ysmenu on my ds. Of course you don't learn anything by...
