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?

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200

    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol

    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.

    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
