Hardware Compatibility Question

[tjk0078]

Hi there,

I bought my Wii in Spain since I live here. I wanted to know whether I can play games bought in America on it?
Thank you

Nope, you can't

There is one exception tho. You can buy a freeloader, then you can play american games (at least some). Someone else would probably describe it better than me ^^

What´s a freeloader and how do I get it?

Freeloader is a special disc containing a tool that will allow you to play imported games. It's a small gamecube sized disc. You insert it, it does something funky, eject the disc and insert the imported game and play!

if you want to order freeloader, make sure you order the correct version! There is an old gamecube freeloader, this will not work! Use the new wii-mode (though it's a gc sized disc) freeloader. And make sure it's the PAL version.
