Theres a list.
Keep in mind the the latest ninty firmware 4.2 blocks out the region free compatiblitiy of all chips. So keep off 4.2
Hi I will be getting my Wiikey 2 modded wii shortly and I want to get a bit of a game collection going before the machine arrives.
I am just wondering with pal wii games do they still have those ugly pal black borders and run slower than the ntsc versions like the older consoles used to,I know the ps3 and xbox 360 doesn't have this problem anymore because they run in 720p or 1080p but since the wii is not hi def does it suffer from the pal problems still.
If that is the case I will try to grab the ntsc versions of the games but as someone mentioned there is a percentage of ntsc games that don't work correctly on a pal wii.
Would someone be able to link me to some website that has some sought of compatibility list of which ntsc games work 100 percent on a pal wii.
The top few games I would like to run ntsc if possible is these ones,anyone have any experience running the ntsc versions of these games 100 percent on a pal wii console.
I actually thought there was a new wave race game for the wii but all I can find is the wave race 64.
Mario Kart Wii
Super Mario Galaxy
The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime 3 Corruption
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Battalion Wars 2
The Conduit

That's a great link thankyou. I have always taken a punt on downloading an ntsc game, get about 70% working but as Murphy's law would have it the one you really want never works.
murphys law
thats one law i hate
Thanks mate that's great,I am having trouble making any sense from some of them,the Super Mario Galaxy I can't figure out if they mean it will work with my Wiikey 2 chip straight of or does the ntsc iso still need to pal patched,might be just safer to stick with the pal isos because reading that list it doesn't seem straight forward like yes or no some work on some modchips and some need to be patched,all changed since the old xbox 1 by the sounds heh.

As I hinted above, stick with the PAL whenever you can. If you are dowloading torrents you will generally find a PAL version of a game if you look for it.
I believe that nintendo are making everything harder now, the new super mario brothers is apparently tricky to play with an unofficial version with a lot of modchips/softmods.
Newer modchips will patch the game on the fly, so your wasting your time patching it to PAL. Sometimes you can get a NTSC game to work by changing the resolution from 50Hz to 60Hz, thats why that list has 2 colums.

How to unlock Wii games ?
My controller synchs and allows me to get to the game, but then when I try to hit a golf ball or hit a tennis serve, nothing, I can push A and my dude moves toward the ball or throws up the serve, then nothing. Any help would be great.
