Is there a way, through softmodding, to make my Wii run JP BIOS? I want to be able to play some Japanese GCN games with the correct text/saving etc. Or do I have to hardmod my Gamecube... >_>
Thanks!
Thanks!
No. I do not recommend it but you could use any region changer to change your region to Japan, naturally I think this would show the correct text in both Wii and GC games. It may work but no one has confirmed it, that I know of.
There are three ways I know to avoid mojibake in GC games:
1. Devolution - Since r234 the Jpn text is fixed.
2. DM/L - It has the fix as an optional setting, usually called "Japanese patch".
3. Nintendont - No idea when it was fixed but it's fixed in the current version.
I think Wii games still don't have a usb loader solution for this(?)
I wasn't able to get Anyregionchanger to load on my Homebrew Channel for some reason. I tried a few other launchers and they all gave me garbled text. The only issue I have with the three you recommended is that they seem to only boot from SD/USB. What I want to do (sorry if I wasn't clear) is to run my actual retail discs, without the garbled text. I suppose I could just rip my retail copies also... but is there any way to use the discs themselves? And lastly, is there any way to force my Wii to format a Gamecube memory card as NTSC-J, so that it can be read by Donkey Konga (JP)? I imagine Anyregionchanger might do it, though I'm a bit nervous to play around with it... Even if I end up getting it to work (I just dragged the .dol and accompanying files into a folder in the apps folder... Not sure why it didn't work).
Thank you!
Thank you!
Don't bother with any region changer, if you just want to run the discs use DML. Use a loader to enable the Japanese patch.
For formatting the card just let the game do it.
As a recommandation get a cheap 4GB SD card or flash drive, and use clean rip to dump the games, then use devolution to load them. Devo has the most features and compatibility, and you can setup individual memory cards so Jpn games don't require any user input. You can even use the wiimote to exit, reset, etc.

And it works! Even saving in Donkey Konga! I installed DML and ran it through USB Loader GX, enabling all the Japanese options in the loader, including that VIDTV patch. Everything works great now 
Thanks for your help!

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
