Hacking Wii backup loader......looks real!

[naes]

I think the loader is PAL only.

All test videos on YouTube show WiiChess loading up. Well take a fucking guess.

IT'S A PAL ONLY GAME.

Better not be. All my games are fucken NTSC.

I don't think he's right. I've read tons of people saying that NTSC games are working. Everything just has to be in the correct region.

Which games? Lets start a list!

Someone said that their NTSC Zack and Wiki is working on an NTSC Wii.

Nothing else has been specific.

I've already started a (non-digital) list.
So far we know...

[LeonardoGolden]

Could AnyRegionChanger be useful here?

For some reason I think not
:U

So... I've already tried Twilight Princess and No more heroes... but both only show a gray screen after the debug messages X_x

NTSC for console and games

Your console region? and games region?

 

[weiff]

The only comment I have is that this does apparently function... I saw the video elsewhere and noticed a great deal of drag time on the loads and even the mote movement. As for which format... once it works the translation to the other should be fairly simple, just some minor tweaks.

IT'S A PAL ONLY GAME.

We shoulda noticed from the preview video..."RZDP" = European Twilight Princess.

Or it's region-free






Oh crap.

 

[Rock Raiyu]

I finally got it to work. I had to move everything. Also, the file size is a bit smaller then the original ISO. I'm going to try it out tomorrow to see if it works.

 

[LeonardoGolden]

Add to working list:

The Force Unleashed (PAL)


This is not looking good D:

 

[Perceptions]

Posting to confirm it works with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, although the loading times are really long, and some cinematics are screwed.

PAL version, burnt at 4x.

 

[LeonardoGolden]

It's official; this is PAL only.

We've proven Twilight Princess was PAL, and here's proof that Galaxy is PAL as well.

From the YouTube video:

Check the rating.

The final version better support NTSC >

 

[shred6waves]

will it work on a NTSC wii if the ISO is PAL?

Nope.
People tried NTSC Umbrella Chronicles with an NTSC Wii and it showed up black and white.

I posted that in page 78 (or 77, I forget)

But I really don't know if it'll work.

Burning MK Wii now. Loader installed, just waiting for a disc. My wii is NTSC, and for this test, it is hooked up to my monitor via a VGA adapter.
