Hacking Recent "truely" region locked titles

[Bloodlust]

EA active sports & Punch out are not playable on my JPN wii no matter what method is used. I wonder when will there be a patch or program to override this. Screw the big N!

Could you maybe list what you have tried please. This will help you and others cover EVERY possible method and hopefully save time on finding a working solution. I myself never need to region patch games, but I'm 110% sure others will want this working too, by sharing what you've actually tried it will save others time, and they will be able to try other methods if any exist you've not tried.

I find the word can't hard to accept.

i agree with slimmmmmm.

there will be a way to play them. its just that neither of the games interest me so i cant test lol.

also, what firmware are you on? these newer games contain the 3.4 update i think, so it might just be IOS missing issues for you.

in any case, i dont see why they wouldnt work on the USB loader or cIOSCORP.

1) Burned to disc
2) USB loader
3) Gecko OS, gamma, softchip

Most of the users here won't care, since the majority are on PAL/US region Wii's which run these 2 titles with no issues. Only JPN users like me have to wait...

 

[MikeyTaylorGaming]

what firmware are you on? and where do the games crash at after loading them?

 

[Bladexdsl]

do you have a chip? maybe that will make them work

 

[jan777]

change wii region to USA or PAL

problem solved

and buy a motherfucking modchip

i know your an asshole in real life but you don't have to act like it in here and not all games will run even on a chip

In SoftChip, Gamma and Gecko OS: Which video modes did you try? Did you try to force the language to ALL languages?

i'm not an arse hole

i apologise for that remark by the way, as it was very over the top.

you could try oldskool VMC (video mode changer, uses trucha), then use gecko to boot that disc

I have the US version. For video modes, I tried NTSC, force NTSC. I don't see why a US game will run off PAL video modes anyway. For the language setting, I only tried english. I do not see the rationale choosing other languages.

I would prefer to have some feedback from users who actually managed to get it to work on a JPN wii. It's meaningless if US/PAL Wii owners start coming in to report that it works on THEIR sets, since its supposed to in the first place.

Did you backup yourself? If downloaded it, chances are you have a crappy PAL->NTSC patched version of the game or a not working at all version.

You need "anyregion changer" and change game region to "USA."

I have my own reliable sources and it definitely isn't a patched copy like using wiifri. It seems like I'm not very convincing here. Maybe you should read this thread : [url=http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=156...t&p=1992002]http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=156...t&p=1992002[/url]

I am aware of that. Would have done it long ago if I wanted to. I don't want to lose my "Wii no ma" channel which does not exist on the US region.

Ok conviced now, and sorry, no idea how to fix that.

But everything you tried belongs into the 1st post, not just that you tried "everything", and the info that changing the region helps, belongs there too!

Are they just coming up black screen? Perhaps you don't have IOS 38, 53, and 55. There are plenty of people with US Wiis who can't get the games to run either... and it's usually a missing IOS.

Sorry if you answered this in the other thread you linked, but I couldn't check, as it seems to be a broken link (truncated).
