So I'm trying to play a backup of LOZ:Wind Waker on the wii by using the disc channel in combination with the backuploader 2.0! I have a GC memory card (1st party) inserted into the first slot with a wind waker save on it already (because I legally owned this game before we lost it while moving), but when I start the game the same message comes as if you had never played it, and it wants to create a new save. I tried doing so, and this causes me to have 2 Wind Waker saves on one memory card.
So then I took another memory card, and copied the new zelda save to it. The Wii reads it just fine. When I delete it and copy my other (first) save to the memory card, it won't work again. Strange thing is: I can't copy 2 of the new saves to one memory card, but having one of the new and one of the old saves works...

Usually I'm able to solve problems on my own or at least by searching on the internet, but I've tried to find a solution to my problem for days now, and I've lost all hope =(
Please tell me if you have even an idea what the problem could be or where I could find some information to help me. Maybe someone's even had similar problems ?
Thx,
Oli

Hmm, yea that may be the problem.. The first save is from an NTSC gamecube and now I own a PAL Wii (the backup is PAL as well)..

Any recommendations as to what I can do ? Would using an NTSC backup on my PAL Wii work ?

So do you think getting an iso of LOZ:WW for NTSC will work on my PAL wii ? And will this let me load my save ?
And another question: Is there any program like "RegionFrii" or "WiigionFree" that works on gamecube disks? (maybe a specific one that seems to be the best?)and: Will using this let me load my save ?

Thanks for all your help so far!

    because i didn't say i was asleep

    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
