And as soon as I solve my cIOS issue, another crops up...

I'm running on 3.2U with cIOS rev 14 installed, using NeoGamma 7.

Today I attempted to run a backup of SA2B, which happened to be a PAL version. The game boots fine, in PAL mode unsurprisingly. Messing around in the region settings leads to either two things: it stays in PAL mode or my TV gets no signal at all. I'm not exactly sure which settings I should be setting to what, it's kind of hard to find documentation for this online.

The strange thing is that even a US version of SA2B boots as if it were a PAL game.

So, despite all my Googling, I can't force it to work. Any possibly help-- or a suggestion for a different GC backup loader --would be loved.

Bump: I tried what is definitely a NTSC copy of SA2B today, and of course, it's still in PAL mode.
First: Update NeoGamma to the newest one (should be R8 Beta16). You should always try to be updated before complaining.

Now: Force to NTSC, or some other VideoModes? This should then realy work. Play around with the Settings again. If that won't work, then blame it on the TV, or on the ISO, which maybe is already patched.

Updating NeoGamma hasn't helped.

But yeah, I've tried all the force NTSC modes, and they all cut the video signal. Which is strange, because I can easily use a backup launcher to play PAL Wii games and force them to NTSC.

    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
