    (Already did a GBATemp search, but yielded no results. >.>)

    Okay, so I got Pokemon Snap off BT, and I loaded it on my Wii with The Homebrew Channel and WAD Manager.

    It shows up just fine on my channel list (main menu), but when I boot up the channel, the screen goes black and white text appears on the screen that says "This channel can't be used."

    Nothnig happens when I press any of the Wiimote buttons, and I had to reset the Wii.

    Anyone know anything? :wtf:

    Through Wi-Fi, right?

    Okay, I'll give it a try...


    EDIT: "There are no updates available since you already have the latest software."

    Looks like you got The Homebrew Channel without TP.

    Yeah, that's right. Like I already said in the My Pokemon Ranch topic, I didn't know about the other TP-less method, so I used it.

    Is it because of that?

    LOL, No, not at all. Just upgrade your FirmWare.

    AH.

    I just discovered something.

    The file I downloaded was... PAL. >.>

    Looks like I'll have to use freethewads after all. >.>

    Although, when I tried opening the freethewads file, a black DOS screen pops up, and closes. Like a flash, sort of.

    What's wrong now? >.>

    He said, pokemon snap, not farm... just get a NTSC file and you should be fine with it.
