I'm using USB Loader 3.0 REV 1260 / IOS 250 v10beta52 base 56, rev 65535)

Some PAL games when I try to forcing NTSC they freeze my console.
Others work with no problem.

That only happens in a few games like: Pikmin 2, Wii Sports Resort, Just Dance 2016.

Already tried converting the games with Wii ISO Renamer, but the same thing happens.

Can someone please help me? Can I try something, or the only way is to buy a component cable?

(Sorry for any English mistakes)

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

AFAIK there are some games where you just can't force NTSC.
They will not work and that is it.
In fact, Pikmin 2 rings a bell to me. I think I saw that one listed with that exact unfixable problem.

If I get a HDMI adapter, you think it might work even on PAL?

I don't think so.
The best solution is just using the USA/NTSC ISO.
Or perhaps region changing your Wii. That would work no HDMI adapter need.
I suppose your TV supports (almost) any standard in the A/V input (that was the case with TVs in Argentina at least).
So if you change your Wii to PAL region and let it output PAL video it would work with your TV.

Mmm, nice!
So how do I do that?

There was something called Any Region Changer or so.
It worked, at least many years ago.
I don't know if it still is safe to use or whatever.
Please if you are going to use it read a lot and ask around.

PS: I really recommend using the USA version of the game if possible, it would be way less problematic than region changing your console.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
