Wii: NTSC to PAL ISO Patcher released!

[lolsjoel]

Holy carp, that's exciting. Course, I still don't have a modchip, nor plans to buy one anytime soon...

Good news if this pans out although I was thinking the same thing as elomaniak. Unless of course it does not modify the code being pumped in but a register/ram value instead....

If it does pan out though it will definitely be time for a Wii.

 

[GameDragon]

Great news, now all I need is a modchip... =/

Geez, now all Wii users will orgasm in unison 'cause of this.

Too late. I already did. I need to get my ass a Wii.

 

[jaxxster]

From the .nfo file

+-APP.iNFORMATION

Run this app to patch NTSC games to run on PAL.

Rename your unscrambled iso to backup.iso and put in the same
dir as our application. We'll bring a better gui version soon.

Metal Slug is the only game we tested, but more should work. Some
will not work due to how the game is coded, the same reason no
PAL will work on NTSC when patched.

This is really cool. Too bad though it's only NTSC to PAL. I was hoping for a NTSC-J to NTSC-U patcher, sence I plan on making my own Chiip.

Is this the deal where you'll still have to hook that cable up to the Wii's DVD drive and run that patching program everytime that you want to load ISO's?

It patches the images, so it doesn't mather if you use a modchip or a weird cable.

i thought the wii discs are encrypted
or is the header of the discs unencrypted and the checksum of the encryped part will be the same

Hmyeah, I wonder how it works too, I thought that changing anything would break the checksum and make it unplayable... A well appearantly not.

 

[Elrinth]

same as wiikey... I say just Meh! I'm waiting for better compatibility.

actually they are running tests as we speak and its perfectly possible that the patcher supports NTSC-J to NTSC-U.

 

[blindr]

does mean mean you can patch NTSC-JAP games to work on an american console?

 

[elomaniak]

i hope there will be a list of non working games soon

 

[jaxxster]

Hmm which NTSC game to test?

 

[Tomobobo]

Well then that's just the bees knees.

 

[jaxxster]

Well looks like i wont be sleeping anytime soon! Fk, i need more DVDS!!!

 

[H8TR]

Well, this is useless to most as most Wii owners aren't in Europe. PAL can now play NTSC but NTSC still can't play PAL.

 

[blindr]

who cares about NTSC playing PAL, most games come out in North America first anyways. I just want to know if NTSC-J works with NTSC-U consoles.

 

[Elrinth]

Well, this is useless to most as most Wii owners aren't in Europe. PAL can now play NTSC but NTSC still can't play PAL.

well actually it's pretty useful for those who bought the firstgen chip. and yes I know there are more wii-owners in the states than in europe.
however, that doesn't mean we don't want this. you are bending the truth, don't do that

it's not exactly like we are 400 wii-owners in whole of europe and there's 400000 in america... the numbers are very diffrent than that.
