Rob3008 Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Sorry for making yet another thread asking for advice It's just I've decided to import Baten Kaitos on import (as it works out SOOO much cheaper) and a Freeloader, but I was wondering how people have got on with it so far? I've these nightmares of it stopping working when I reach Disc 2!
Hero-of-Time Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Hmmm im not sure about Baten Kaitos but I have had no trouble with all the imports that I have played with on Freeloader, it really is a wonderful piece of kit.
triforce_keeper Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Should be fine mate. My freeloader has worked with all my imported games.
Zero Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 It should be fine. I'm sure it asks you to save before you change disc so if it doesn't work when you change the disc you should be able to load it from the second disc. Can anyone else remember if it asks to save before the disc swap.
The3rdChildren Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Tales of Symphonia and Resident Evil 4's disc swap worked fine, so I'm sure other games will as well.
*Dalco* Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 ye i used one for winning eleven and it never gave me any trouble
Rob3008 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 Cheers for replies I got a free Animal Crossing only one with Cube mag (RIP) a long time ago and it worked a treat, so just wanted confirmation.
Rob3008 Posted August 15, 2006 Author Posted August 15, 2006 I ordered the one off Amazon, but wish I'd got the one on Lik-sang the one I ordered was only the original version. Does anyone know why they upgraded to the 1.06B version? Does the old one still work or what's the story with it?
Rob3008 Posted August 15, 2006 Author Posted August 15, 2006 Sorry to bump, but I need a reply to above!
Librarian Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 this is sooo long ago.. but as I remember it there was problems with the older version af Freeloader and some games.. so they had to release a newer version (1.06) to take care of that.. I bought it just to play Animal Crossing way back when..
Hero-of-Time Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I tell you what is weird. I recently bought Naruto 4 ( jap ) and Naruto 1 ( US ) and the freeloader wont wont on my newer Pearl White Cube. I load the games in and get to the title screen then they crash. I then tried them in my R Evil4 Cube and they work fine.
Fresh Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Would the freeloader work with the Wii? if not im going to have to buy a PAL mario golf.
kellett03 Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 i've got the jap version of baten Kaitos along with a freelaoder and theres no problem at all. the change of disc works fine.
evad_lhorg Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 I tell you what is weird. I recently bought Naruto 4 ( jap ) and Naruto 1 ( US ) and the freeloader wont wont on my newer Pearl White Cube. I load the games in and get to the title screen then they crash. I then tried them in my R Evil4 Cube and they work fine. as far as I know the white gamecube doesnt work with it. to OP i have four ntsc games... mgs: twin snkes, resi 4, megaman anniversary collection and megaman X collection adn they all work grand with the v1.06b freeloader.
Gentleben Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I had the same problem just the other week. I used to always use my Freeloader to play the US Version of Pokemon Colosseum and download extra Jirachis from the pre order bonus disk. This was with my Black Gamecube I got at launch. When I wanted to use it the other day on my pearl white Cube, it wouldn't let the freeloader work -kept getting the message "No Valid Disc" I guess at some point Nintendo decided to tweak with the hardware to prevent the Freeloader working??
Mayhem Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Yep that's pretty much what they did. But seeing as it's pretty much end-of-life on the Cube anyhow, it won't affect many users.
