GCN How do you change region of .iso?

With Swiss, you need to convert most Japanese games to NTSC-U for saving to work. What programs can convert it? Or is there a setting on Swiss that fixes it?

What do you mean? Set Force Text Encoding to ANSI if you really want to use the same memory cards.

The explanation is long winded, but for best results set Swiss to S-JIS and use a separate memory card.
Japanese games are meant to use Japanese BIOS/region settings. A number of titles have glitches on foreign systems.

So it's only a matter of the text encoding?

Ah yes, let me try that on my GameCube real quick...

I don't think this is working.

Swiss is for Gamecube only?
Didn't knew that!
Thought Swiss was for Wii.

Mainly yeah. Some games have trouble like completely garbled dialogue text.

Swiss runs in Gamecube mode. There shouldn't be any issues, but a few optional features won't work on Wii. (you can't plug in the GC broadband adapter)
