I thought there would of been some sort of problem quantity wise but all is good so far. Now we need to meet online and you 'own' me as Pikachu >.<

 

Yea Freeloader should arrive tomorrow (i'll be in when it arrives) so then I can test my NTSC Cube games and change my settings and report back my results with pictures for proof!

If all of them work I could actualy sell my gamecube

Hi,

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Hope the information below helps:

 

Wii Freeloader FAQ

 

What does it do? - It lets you play games from other countries on your PAL Wii console

 

Is it in stock? - YES

 

Does it work with UK and Australian PAL consoles? - YES

 

Do I need to take apart/modify my Wii console? - NO

 

Have you tested it/Does it really work? - Yes we have and it does.

 

Does it work with Super Smash Bros Brawl? - YES

 

How do I use it? - Simply insert your Freeloader disc and load it in the usual way. When the drive stops, eject the Wii Freeloader disc and insert the game, which then loads and plays just like it would on its own region of Wii. It's as simple as that!

 

Will a foreign game update my console with foreign firmware? - No, the wii freeloader plays the basic game file and that's it, basically. It ignores all update data that is on the foreign game disk that you are trying to play. It'll basically run the Wii Firmware that is currently on your Wii console.

Btw, does anyone know - do you have to load the Freeloader every time you boot up the console, or just once? Since it seems to do something to the firmware (since you have to put it in again to reset it) it would suggest to me it's just once; meaning the main flaw of the GC one, having to play with discs every time, is gone.

My Freeloader and Brawl are still 'processing'. VGP i'm not so bothered about. CJ will probably just forget my order... just like they forgot to take down "Wii freeloader works with Gamecube games" off of their website.

I was getting worried with it not being dispatched yet (Brawl) but then I remembered it's based in Canada :D

 

At least my Freeloader is en route!

If you're wrong...I will hunt you down and steal your copy

 

You can try, but you won't succeed! Hopefully we can have a online game when we get it!
