Is there a WAD for this yet? I found a thread that had a 1.1 video mode patch WAD but I got an error every time I tried to install it.

Hi WiiPower,

I'd like to compile a version of your loader that forces 480p on PAL instead of 480i - if I understand it correctly, the changes required for this should be minimal, but can you point me to the location of the code I need to modify? I have read the code, but I'm not really that much into libogc... am I correct in that I only need to modify something in apploader.c or is there another code that must be changed?

EDIT: WiiPower, please don't bother replying. After going through the source code again, I believe that my request would require more than a simple change. At the moment, it's just not worth the trouble. 480i works just fine...

what is your problem?

i think ntsc 480p = pal 480p and standard usb loader is region free...

you shouldn't have any problem

Do you get color problems with NTSC games? I always thought progressive video modes just work with both regions.

Wiipower, can you help me out real quick. I want to change the background on your ntsc force loader. So I change the background successfully and i compile and it outputs a dol. But when i run a game with the dol it comes out black and white. However, when I had used the "USB-Loader_v1.1-NTSC480i.dol" that came with your package, that same game worked fine (prefect colors).

So all I am doing is changing the background image and recompiling. What am I doing wrong? Thanks alot, your dol is great.

Sorry to above poster for changing the subject but WiiPower I was wondering if you could make a dol to force Pal 60? I have an Ntsc wii and the only way I can run my copy of "New Play Control" Pikmin is using this video option.

I only added the source for one of the versions, seems it was the PAL one. To change from PAL to NTSC you have to search "TVEurgb60Hz480IntDf" and replace BOTH with "TVNtsc480IntDf".

Hi wiipower,

I used you toyR7 and it worked with 480i and patches, so thank you very much.
At the beginning I a could not get it to run (would start the process and then would hang on ES_ something successful - can remember 100% ), then I realized that softchip87R does the same thing even with NTSC games. Finally I figured out that was my USB stick. For some reason if my USB stick is plugged in would not run. I just want to mention this to you as you may have an idea why this may happened and it may help others.

I have a question anyway: What video codes should I be changing in a PAL game (this particular game has codes in 19 places) to get it to run in NTSC 480i. I extracted main.dol with wiiscruber and I used wiipatcher for video modes but I am not sure what should I change. Thanks again for your toy.

Oh really? Cause I tried your Pal dol twice and my tv says "mode not supported", but it works with Pal 60 using the Gamma Launcher.

I have 3.4U. So far, this is the only way which allows me to play Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 PAL. I've used GeckoOS, Gamma Loader, with different settings; none yielded positive results.

Thanks WiiPower.
