How exactly do I run imports on a modded Wii?

Post by Violent By Design »

I've been trying to play Pandora's Tower off of my harddrive, but the game comes out as black and white.

What exactly do you have to do to allow you to play Japanese and European games?

You need to force it to run NTSC, that's how i fix it using Configurable USB Loader.

Hopefully this solves your problems, as the last person i tried to help failed at Prii-loader. :mrgreen:

That language option can be useful too. It allows modes your system menu doesn't offer.
Normally, PAL games won't run in German or Italian on a US Wii.

Though US Xenoblade appears to support those too.
Along with Japanese for reasons unknown.

It seems my HDTV doesn't actually tell me what video mode component input uses. :?

While the PAL50 or PAL60 options of GeckoOS didn't produce any obvious errors at the Xenoblade title screen, I'm not sure if they worked.

I don't see 480p pop up either when switching Gamecube games to progressive.

I guess I could look around to see if I still even own a Wii composite cable...
