Cool thing, really. But I wonder what I need to do to get "Zankoku Dekotora Densetsu" run on a PAL system. Since the game itself contains an update, I'm not pretty sure... Would appreciate some help if possible.

Ohh, this is great work, awesome! Thanks for the prog! Full Region Free seems more and more possible!

One strange thing remains though. I've read that Metroid Prime 3 displays English on a NTSC-U console regardless of which language is selected (so it'll still display English when French or Spanish is chosen), yet on a PAL console it will show French or Spanish if that language is selected. Any idea why that happens?

I hope that something like this - along with the Video mode choosing - can be added to a custom firmware if we're ever gonna get one, that'd be great.

I had a disk that is (U) Cooking mama which I bought from other places. As I tried to load in, it hang on it. So I wanted to try on this language patcher since the thread mentioned that Cooking Mama (U) is playable. I had got it out as ISO (Cooking Mama, USA) using IMG BURN.

Trying to open the ISO using Trucha Signer 0.21 but it prompt me, "Error decrypting data".

Why was it like this? Did I miss a step or what? weird!

I am quite lost for now and hoped someone can guide me if this is possible. If not I got to get it d/l.

BTW, what's WBB?

I think I read that BBA-J is working.

Weird, I got my BBA-US/ Cooking Mama-US rip out as .iso, loading to Trucha Signer detect as Error Decryption Data... Bad ripping? I used ImgBurn ...

Just tried Super Mario Galaxy USA version on my JPN wii, and it works perfectly, with of course English text.
Absolute massive respect to you ReturnerS for this extremely quick, and simple method

dude did u remove the update ?

Nope, no need. I'm on 3.1J (From the JPN version of SSBB). I let the update run, and everything's fine - Nope dupe channels, or inaccessible settings etc.

You can't make Wii image files using imgburn, you need to use a program like friidump/rawdump for it.

What an awesome tool! Can it be made so one just clicks on an ISO and selects language, rather than having to extract and resign it? In any case.. THANKS@!!!!!

Which version of Metroid Prime 3 are you testing? Maybe the version of the disc you are trying only has English language on it.

Yes, it would be great to see these things able to be patched on the fly on the console itself, rather than having to reburn discs.

I have tried to change the language on Super Monkey Ball (US) to English on a JPN wii, and the text is still Japanese, the website states that it works with additional ASM hack. Anybody have any success with ASM hack. Thanks.

I have tried WGLP on SMG, SSBB, FE, DBZ:BT3, Cooking Mama, and bomberman and they all works for me. Wiikey 1.9g, 3.2J
