So, wii chess was a PAL/JPN game only, however im wondering if it is possible to make a USA/KOR version of the game with an iso region changer. I've thought of it and i see no reason why it wouldn't work. If its possible, then would that region changed game work online with others with the region changed game with the same region? Maybe the game has support for only PAL/JPN internet connection, but if we can make a different region, couldn't we burn that onto a disc and play it on a softmodded wii? If so, how would a USA/KOR wii react, would it launch, would it crash immediately, would it be a black screen? I am just curious about this.

Cheating? What advantage would u have in a chess game? I know some purists who compete in ssbb or other games will consider usb-loading or cios an unfair advantage due to loading speeds, but in a slow paced strategy game like chess, I don't think it applies

Btw not all wii's can play burned disks, and even those that can would benefit from usb loading instead

When i mean region free is cheating, i mean its not really a real " ntsc-u/k " game. It's just a PAL game that can run. Also im just curious what'd happen from playing a burned disc. I am not wanting to do it for obvious reasons, just curious

If it's WiiWare, patching the .wad for regionfree is useful for vWii.
...As for a burned disc, then it would boot based on your region patches, but you also need to consider supported video modes (which include the colour differences between PAL and NTSC)

    lmao I'm making some mods to one of my MTG decks to turn up the pressure on it a bit and I'm watching the combined card value just skyrocket.

    >$600 USD value of cards so far and I'm still looking at making more changes.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    this game is dumb.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    $600 for a deck that will become obsolete in half a year. No wonder it's nicknamed "Tragic: The Moneypit."

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My friend group plays Commander so the amount of "obsolete in half a year" is virtually nonexistent
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Never really got into Commander.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But that is also affected by the meta changes with every new release.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not as much as modern/standard but still.
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    LMAO yep. TCG official rules are some of the DUMBEST shit i've ever seen besides Warhammer prices
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    kinda why I honestly like, watching, VGC stuff
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Yeah idk for the little over 2 years I've been playing so far at least, I don't feel like the meta has changed much at all in Commander. I've been playing the same 2 decks, both virtually unchanged, for the past year and a half, and there's been no real change in their performance over time against others that have been building new decks with each new set
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    Whatever Pokemon was in its release hay-year, is what it'll forever be once final update hits and you can play that shit decades from that point on just fine
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    And I'm trying to see if there's anything I don't love enough in here to swap in favor of a Mox Amber, Lightning Greaves, Basilisk Collar, Akroma's Memorial, and possible Panharmonicon.

    thats a neat site!
