Hey

A while back ago i updated my wii to 4.2E through a safe updater so I was able to keep my HBC

As expected, I lost the ability to play NTSC games with my wiikey since my console is PAL, but everything else was ok and I just used geckoOS for my few imports

Now with NMH2 I decided to see if I could do something to avoid having to go to gecko everytime I needed to play a NTSC game so I got searching and found starpatch v4.2.6

So basically a hardmodded wii @ 4.2E with nothing but HBC (for GeckoOS and GeeXbox) installed, I had to usa Trucha Bug Restorer to get starpatch running and I was able to get by and apply the 5 region free patches (I touched nothing else)

Here's the weird part... Now Disc Channel properly displays my NTSC games (which it didn't before), but when I go and click to start the game all i get is a black screen.. I checked and GeckoOS still plays the NTSC games fine, and my PAL games work fine from Disc Channel aswell.. it's just the NTSC games on disc channel that aren't working

I tested this with the only two imports I have, NTSC-U Madworld and Naruto 3.. NMH2 hasn't arrived yet so i can't test it but I was hoping to fix this before i got it

anyone could maybe let me know what I could do? should i further softmod the console to make them work? or should i use any other patch on startpatch that I missed? :S

Thx in advance
