Hi everyone, I've got a PAL Wii softmodded and always play NTSC version of games. Even if I region freed everything from priiloader, NTSC VC/WW games don't load at all. Black screen, no sound, wiimote disconnects itself and won't reconnect.

I found out some solutions that involve using a virtual nand for loading VC/WW games, but some people states that not every game works. Plus, it seems an overly complicated thing for simply run games from other regions.

I read about utilities that region frees wads, but again someone says that not every game works since they basically force wads to run in PAL instead of NTSC.

I read about any region changer, but this would change region for everything. Don't know if my wii shop, PAL games etc. would still work and I don't want to switch back and forth regions when playing games (occasionally I still play PAL games).

I'm still a noob at this stuff so it's very likely that some of my statements are incorrect :) what you guys are using to run VC/WW games from other regions? Please don't tell me "use emulators", I'm already doing it but I want to be able to run VC/WW games as well.

Ok, found out that USB Loader GX can launch channels too. So, if I launch a VC title from there, I can force NTSC output from game settings. Works wonders.Problem solved :) would still be nice to be able to run the game from Wii system menu though

VC wads are region locked thats why you cant lauch them, there is an app that changes the wad region so you can install them with your region settings but i dont recall the name of it tough.
