I'm not sure. I've never been able to get those patches to work. It's really odd. but like I said just use Gecko OS or something to load out of region titles. I don't even use my disc channel anymore. I use Swiss and USB loaders for all my Backup needs. Swiss however requires a good modchip to play backups from disc so if you want to use it you will need a chip or an IDE-EXI or an SD Gecko adapter (you could also mod the internal SD slot to link up to the memory card ports with just 6 strands of wire and be able to use the SD card in both Wii and Gamecube mode).
