Okay, so I have a No More Heroes ISO, and it was PAL but I patched it to NTSC. When I play it in the backup lanucher .3 it plays, but everything is all fuzzy black and white. Any way to make it display in color and not be all distorted? Thanks,

On some games, no matter how you patch with RegionFrii or WiiFrii, something within the game's coding would not allow for a successful patch. Lego Star Wars, and Lego Indiana Jones (both Pal), don't patch correctly for use on a NTSC Wii. Some Pal games like Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity won't work on NTSC no matter what method you try.
You can try to force NTSC in the loader, but if you don't use component cables to output 480p to your tv, Pal games are going to display in Black & White. I can only recommend using the NTSC version of No More Heroes, not only because it will play in color on your tv, but because the Pal version is censored, and you don't get the blood fountains with every slash.
Bottom Line: Try to ONLY use your region for backups when possible.
I did say the Pal version was censored, but you could use the term castrated. The NTSC version is very bloody.WiiPower said:Isn't the PAL version of the game castrated?

1. Region patchers are fail. Some more, some less.
2. When using a loader ALL games that work on a Wii from the same region, work on the other Wiis too. Just maybe only in their video mode, which results in wrong colors with a bad tv or a rgb cable(that one is PAL only).
3. NeoGamma allows you to force video modes, which helps with 50% of games with color issues, and it allows you to patch video modes, which helps on 50% of the remaining games.
dsfanatic5 said:As for the patching in NeoGamma, thanks for the info because I wasn't aware of this. I've always used component cables, so I never noticed any problems with Pal games. It wasn't until my Brother asked me why his backups were in black & white, that I realized there was a problem. I simply don't use Pal anymore, unless the game will never be released in my region.
