Besides messing with the Area setting, am I okay to do this? Or do I need to do something with IOS 36, or just not use it at all?

edit: fuck it #yolo let's go

 

I did it.

And I had to do it because JPN VC games run like shit in PAL. Changing the video output in AnyRegion Changer to NTSC has fixed my JPN VC input lag/bad fps.

 

That sounds like a pain having to start a loader every time I want to play muh vidya. All I use my Wii for is VC games now.

Look, black and white!

 

Have you tried buying Japanese games recently?

 

That would defeat the purpose

 

That won't help if he wants the story text in Japanese.

 

Okay, well the safest thing to do is switch back to the correct video mode, and force the video mode in whichever loader you choose to autoboot into. PostLoader, combined with Settings Editor GUI (an addon I made), lets you manage everything (homebrew, emunand, real nand, backups, system settings) in once place, so you might be interested in that.
