NTSC Games on Pal Wii (Hdd)

**HoochDaTank** · 21-01-10, 06:49 PM

Is it safe to run NTSC games from my hdd or do I need to change some settings/ load some software. I know I can play then from the dvd drive as my chip has brick blocker turned on.

Cheers

should be fine. Most usb loaders cover this issue

I am Using Uloader. If there is one that definately covers this issue I will change. Any suggestions

I use wiiflow. I also have a mix of pal and ntsc games on the hdd. I like wii flow because apart from being very easy to use it has a great gui interface.

With Usbloader GX I also have no troubles playing NTSC games on my PAL Wii.

No special settings required. All good.

I am also using Wiiflow 1.1 its a great programme to run all the pal and ntsc games, it set auto by default.

+1 for GX. My three kids, 6, 10 and 12 can use it (Miss 6 with help from the older ones), so it's good for me...

Tried installing usb loader gx - I can't get it to run(laods the main screen then freezes on some screen with a whole load of crap - numbers and letters). I am running firmware 4.2E. ULoader and USBLoader 1.5 work no probs. Might try wiiflow.

Cheers

Running through channel forwarder

I am also having trouble using alot of ntsc games in usb loader gx via USB hd

I have....
Pal Wii
Firmware 4.1E
Usb Loader gx r.929 ( running as channel )
Wd 1.5 TB HDD seperated into 2 wbfs partitions setup with wbfs manager 3.0
DriveKey with Update blocker on

I am finding that around 50% of my ntsc games on my usb drive will not load and simply go to a black screen

Settings in Usb Loader GX
Video mode - Autopatch (after trying disc default )
VidTV patch - On
Game Language - English ( after trying console default )
Patch country string - off
Ocarina - Off
Boot Cios 222 ( after trying 249 )
Quickboot - No
Error 002 fix - Anti
Install partitions - remove update
install 1:1 copy - No

i had read in the usb loader gx readmev2 file that if i changed the boot Cios to 222 , setting 002 fix to Anti and Video mode to Autopatch that 99% of ntsc games should work on a Pal Wii and the other 1% simply need a blank dvd in the drive to work
I have even removed the GXgamesettings.cfg so it doesnt conflict with the GXglobal.cfg

just wondering if anyone knows where i am going wrong

I use CloverFloader & wd hdd, no changes to any Video settings, long as your Tv supports NTSC then it will be colour and wont roll, like older Tv's
Only changes is to 002 if needed

**juz69** · 17-05-10, 06:18 PM

i am installing configurable usb loader at the moment to see if it is the loader that is the problem or maybe the iso's/hdd

next trial might have to be to use coverfloader

**juz69** · 18-05-10, 04:08 PM

Got Cfg Usb Loader working and the games that were giving me problems in Usb Loader GX all seem to be loading fine but now i have a new problem

Evry time i am in a game and push the home button then select exit to Wii Menu

The screen goes balck and stays like that

Anyone know if this might be a problem with the loader or with the Wii itself ???

Im not having much luck with my loaders

**vampyre** · 18-05-10, 10:10 PM

I have Error 002 fix set too ON or Yes and all of my NTSC and Pals work.

**juz69** · 18-05-10, 10:52 PM

i am now using cfg usb loader and havnt found any games yet that wont load from the hdd

i have the error 002 fix set to On

Now whenever i exit a game loaded from config usb loader i get a black screen and the wii freezes

i might try a complete reinstall of the config loader and see if this helps

i dont know what else could be causing the lockup on exiting a game

**Stanto74** · 19-05-10, 03:35 PM

I use CFG USB loader amd USB loader GX without a prob on 4.2E (Never let kids near the Wii unless you want major hassle's redoing things that work I think they work for Nintendo somtimes)
