If i decide later to get the ntsc version of the game and get rid of the pal version will the save file i have on the wii still work for the ntsc version?

How can we tell for sure?
Probably.


I was just wondering because maybe someone here has done it with a previous game that leaked from PAL first and then they changed to NTSC.

Were the PAL and NTSC-U versions of the Twilight Hack? if not then I would say they are interchangeable.

does this work on softmod 4.1 NTSC-U? Aslo I'm not sure if this has the New IOS53. I used xzxero
method to do it. Does that include the New IOS 53?


Did you forget to change the region of the ISO(the game is PAL)? use Regionfrii to patch it into USA/NTSC, then it should work for you.

Or softmd UPDATE to 4.2U it runs perfectly
Hmm but I've played many PAL games on my Wii and never had any problem.. So I need to update to 4.2 only or update to 4.2 use regionfrii and burn it again?or just get the newIOS53? if so where can I get it?(if this is allow to ask)

You can't really transfer savegames from one region to the other, the game won't read it (at least for Wii games).


Has anyone with a PAL-Wii 'PAL-Borders' with the alternative DOL? (I'm using configurable USB-loader 47b-fat)
The Menu, Home Menu and title screen are fullscreen, but ingame has additional borders on top and bottom. Is this a NTSC/PAL screw-up? (Playing in PAL60 with RGB cable on 16:9 CRT).

I used Maschells method and it worked for me. I can now play it with Neogamma 7 USB-loader. No crashes, no problems, nothing wrong. Had gotten to the boss of the 2nd world with my sisters and then there was a shortcircuit -__-

Man, minutes away from saving...

Awesome! Nice to see a fix found already! Thought it would have taken at least a week until it was fixed, awesome work to whoever did it!

I changed the main.dol via WIIScrubber and a HEX Editor, and now my ISO works!

Please people tell me: is there still a chance that i will be able to play this with only a modchip.
Soft mod is chinese for me.
I have a Pal Wii 3.4E with wiikey 1.9s.

I've tried extracting the main.dol, alt-dol loading from neogamma, & regionfrii still nothing. Hope someone finds a way to load from discs soon.
You and me both. Do you just get a green screen that shortly redirects you to your Wii Menu? That's what I get.

I followed the instructions in the 1st post to replace the main.dol and scrub the iso. copied to hdd and run with coverfloader works perfect. i have 4.0 wii nstc and did not update IOS53. ran the iso thru wii UI to remove the update and region patch to NTSC. i like to be sure about the updates

That's exactly what's happening for me too. Hopefully someone will find a way to play it from a DVD.

FYI: There is also a new rev (r20) of wiiflow that apparently works with the unpatched (original rip) of the game.

  • 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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
