What are you wanting to convert? The games or the saves?

Just install Priiloader and turn on the region free hacks. Simple.

lol the saves. I remember u could hex edit new super mario bros wii save to convert wonder if you cna do the same for other games?

 

[kirbymaster101]

does anyone know how?

Use SGM GX and extract the saves from both regions. Keeping the USA banner.bin, copy over all other data from the PAL save.

If this doesn't work what W hat suggested then send me the save you want to convert to ntsc and one empty ntsc save file, then I'll try to convert it.

I used Wiigionfree in the past and it does what you are looking for.
There are other ways to achieve what you want, but this is what you are looking for.

TY W hat ur method works although i didnt replace the index.smgx file and had to chage the frebemlem eu to us.

Empty means that you start a new game to create a savefile on your wii.
If you don't create a save file for the destination game then Savegame Manager GX won't let you copy from SD to Wii.

Spoiler: Maybe this method is not working anymore

- Play both PAL and NTSC version of the game.
- Launch SaveGame Manager GX and extract the PAL version to SD. (you can extract NTSC version too, but it's not needed. See bellow).
- On computer, rename the folder from SD:/savegames/00010000xxxxxx50 (P, for PAL games) to SD:/savegames/00010000xxxxxx45 (E, for NTSC-U games)
- Back on Wii, Launch SaveGame Manager GX again, and put back the xxxxxx45 save file into the Wii.

Code info:
J = 4a
P = 50
E = 45
X = 58

You can extract both versions to SD and check if they both contains the same filename and file number.
Sometime a savegame from one region to another doesn't use the same file format so you can't convert the region for that games.

Edit: That method worked on older Savegame Manager GX, I guess now that there is an index file with NAND path it won't work anymore, so you just copy files from PAL folder to NTSC-U folder like W Hat said.

do i chage the fe_eu.dat to fe_us.dat?

 

[Cyan]

If you have a file named fe_us.dat in the NTSC-u folder, then I guess yes you will have to rename it.

It could have a different structure and content (like PAL usually have language selections, while USA only have English) so such savegames won't be compatible.
You'll have to try to know.
