Hacking Softmii not recognizing Pikmin PAL game?

[WiiPower]

The japanese game has NTSC video modes and needs force japanese patching. The PAL game, has PAL video modes and needs video mode patches. Oh, that's only for NTSC users, for PAL users it's different of course.

Not much help to you NTSCers but Ive just tested it on a PAL machine with gamma with 002 fix and it worked perfectly.

Zanny, is the game text in English or Japanese?

 

[Wiiownzzz]

I love how this forum makes you go on a fucking quest to find what you need...i can't find your toy and i'm too lazy to continue searching.

 

[richglix]

heheh, dude, check his sig, the toy is there.

Seriously, though. You have a bunch of us in here, spending our time to try and help you with something, and you're too lazy to find something that you can google or is in his sig?

Don't waste our time with "help me" topics anymore pls.

Thanks.

It seems to be a real PAL game and not a patched japanese:

look at the release date.

if not, there should be a mirror on the last page of the thread

Yeah, I know, WP. But if you look at the name and box that I posted, I also, thought I was getting some kind of PAL Euro version, but the entire game is in Japanese. So I'm trying to see if there are any versions with english text floating around out there.

Also, on that Amazon link, the game is not out (I know the scene gets them early)

Maybe I'm just an idiot? It would only work with Japanese lang forced, I don't think mine is a euro version...

OK, I got your toy and used your recommended settings AAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDD just a green screen.......uhhh I guess I have to patch my iso. Why do I need to do the Japanese settings? Shouldn't it be USA since my Wii is NTSC?

 

[richglix]

Did you try to force japanese language in Gamma and see if it boots? I'm not sure why it needs it.

EPIC FAIL! Now stop saying it.

 

[richglix]

Okay, then no point in patching it, the way I did at least.

 

[Wiiownzzz]

How would I CORRECTLY patch my .iso to make it work?

 

[Wiiownzzz]

Cmon people I need some help here! Please, I have wasted 3 dvds, I tried patching it with that one guys guide on page 1 and I tried the same thing but with English settings. I'm pretty sure somebody knows how to make this work please help me!?

 

[WiiPower]

Do you get a green screen freeze with both settings? If that's the case, you probably found something new. I don't know how you could patch the .iso to get the game to work, if both settings in my toy don't work. If you get the game somehow to work, please let me know.

I tested this game on my NTSC Wii 3.2U with D2Pro.
It runs on Gecko OS and Backup Loader Gamma without any setting. In SoftChip you need to change the video mode to Disc Settings to work. I also tried WiiPower's toy to play around with video modes and noticed that game just works with video mode forced to NTSC 480p, but I tried to patch main.dol and had no success, I still getting green screen.

Do you get the game to work now or not? Or you you have color issues? I don't understand.

 

[Stopstalking]

ALSO on iospatcher, it shows the IOS as 0, not seen that before :s ( pikmin pal, not the jap version )

It works perfectly on Gecko and Backup Loader.
In Softchip it works without color issues when I force video mode to 480i (with your Toy) OR Set Video Mode using Disc Region (stadandard SoftChip). I could not make video patch work, always get green screen, unfortunately, so it doesn't work in Disc Channel.

According to some people on similar threads it works on gecko OS, but you need like a super tv that's is compatible with PAL, I guess. Someone mentioned a Sony Bravia.

That's what I got from searching and reading the net. It will work with Gekos BL. My girl has been on the console for 2 1/2 hours. I'll get to see when she gets off.
