Hacking Defend You Castle on PAL Wii!

[Kokorazashi]

Starting the search for it now. Damn GBAtemp rules!

Got the Region Free version from a newsgroup, installed the WAD, but when i load the game, the sync is lost with my wii remote, and it just freeze's on a black screen. Any ideas?

D/L somewhere else. Had the same prob, and now it works.

 

[Kokorazashi]

Could someone atleast give me a better hint than just "A German site"? Like what you searched into Google, thats not breaking any rules seeing as you aren't giving the URL. Right?

It can be found on other sites which are not german now

But they are not PAL compatible. Even the ones which say they are Region Free aren't. I searched for it on a torrent search engine and only found 4, 3 which are American and not patched and the Region Free one which doesn't work.

It does work, Ive got a PAL wii and it is working fine for me

 

[Kokorazashi]

Which one? The torrent which says "REGION FREE" in capital letters and has 3 other games packed in the torrent aswell?

wrong version
not patched right

 

[Kokorazashi]

Then could you patch it with freethewads, because when I tried, it didn't install properly with the Twilight Hack. It said some thing like cannot find ".wad" directory.

EDIT: The one I patched with freethewads was an original, unpatched version.

so you mean there's a way to patch ntsc wiiware titles other than freethewads

 

[ZeD]

it seems to be.
the orgianl site which posted it had a little GB Flag by it but it says PATCHED WAD
I think it was something to do with a video signal because it seems stretched on my TV

then we can expect star soldier release working on pal

(i think the original ntsc-j has same issues)

Nope, well not yet who knows what the future will hold...

found that "region free" defend your castle also. most likely works, haven't tried it though. Actually I don't know if i'll ever try! Take that!

 

[jaxxster]

to make the wads region free you have to hex edit the 000001.app file before compiling it.

 

[Kokorazashi]

I give up on the "Search". I'll just wait for the PAL version.

 

[ZeD]

you need to learn the scene and the best websites for certain files

yes there is a way, I done the patch for Defend you Castle and Okiraku Ping Pong (you can find the patched on certain websites),
but it doesn't work for Star Soldier R and Kotobano Pazuru Mojipittan

Angel Solitaire (the bad release has a wrong Title.TMD) works with this Patch, but it crashs on "cannot write/read from wii system" error.

you need to Patch 00000001.APP, with NTSC-2-PAL Patch (not realy needed, but to work perfect on a PAL machine) and the Country Patch, JPN String to EUR String, then the game works on PAL

Star Soldier R and Kotobano Pazuru Mojipittan does atm not work, because i'm not able to decompress them, they use a custom LZ77 method, not the known LZSS.
when someone can help me to decompress them, i'm able to patch them for PAL.
