There's some Japanese-only N64 games I want to play through the Not64 emulator on Wii, but the thing is that my Wii is a PAL system so I'm not sure if it can run NTSC-J N64 ROMs. As well as this, my Wii is set to 50hz and I believe NTSC-J games are 60hz. I have to use a cheap AV to HDMI converter for my Wii which doesn't handle 60hz well.
So would my PAL Wii be able to play NTSC-J Nintendo64 ROMS through Not64 at 50hz? Or even run the ROMs at all?

Good grief, you're running your Wii in 50hz?! Get that shit sorted, root around for a better HDMI converter or something.. can you not use component? Even unofficial cables would do the job...
As for Jap N64 roms, yeah they should run, but you will be subject to the old PAL 17.5%-ish slower speeds (I'm almost tempted to switch mine to 50hz and try out just for shits n giggles, though the wife is on the telly/I'm really not THAT insterested! :lol: )

    Nothings been confirmed directly from Nintendo yet

    I haven't been up to date tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I think the carts will be bigger flash size, and have a new lotus 4 protections so that can't be dumped say with a MIG dumper

    @BigOnYa, That's what I was thinking before when I last mentioned the Switch 2 gamecards.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Different Lotus ASIC with additional protection which could break MIG support, larger NAND size for bigger games, etc.

    Watch it be defeated by opening the cart
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I wonder if there could be some denuvo on the carts
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Probably but kind of pointless it'll be a while before anyone gets any dumps out
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Iirc it was the clip thing that triggered the og exploit but now since switch 2 uses clip in pins that's out the window
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Wasn't that fixed in the mariko and oled?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah but that's how they get dumps you need some type of cfw

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Pin layout for carts is probably redesigned in different orders to where it wouldn't even be compatible with mig anyway

    Pins will be the same, will just use a different lotus protocol prob. https://gbatemp.net/threads/change-the-lotus3-gamecard-asic-ic-to-a-emmc-is-possible.637373/

    Not believing any leaked details tell it's official Nintendo could easily swap ground to data and that'd be enough for an entire new layout

    Eurovision has some pretty good songs this year. I hate how the worst possible song won for Portugal
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    this song got the most votes by the public, but none of the judges voted in favour, so she didn't win.
