So recently I got back into modding my Wii, and I decided I wanted to install some more Virtual Console wads. Previously the only VC wads I had installed were SMB2, SMB2 The Lost Levels, SMB3, and Mario Kart 64, which I'm pretty sure were all PAL when I downloaded them.However now I can hardly seem to find any PAL VC wads, but I did find a heap of NTSC wads which I downloaded. I picked out a few and converted them to PAL using Free The Wads GUI, and installed them on my Wii using YAWMM.
Some of them, namely Super Mario 64, Super Smash Bros, and Pokemon Snap appear to be working, as the 'You will need the Classic Controller' screen comes up (I haven't actually got a classic controller yet to know for sure, but I have ordered one).Some others like SMB, SMW, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Excitebike aren't working at all though. When I start the channel the screen goes black, the Wiimote won't sync and I have to hold down the power button on the Wii to turn it off. I've tried converting them to Region Free and leaving them NTSC, but nothing works. I also have Priiloader installed with 'Region Free Channels' enabled, btw.If someone has a solution to my problem that would be great.
Click to expand.I did what you said by changing the regions using ShowMiiWads instead of FreeTheWads, and installing the Wads with Wii Mod Lite instead of Yet Another Wad Manager Mod. Unfortunately when I load the channel I get the same result, black screen, no response, have to hold the power button on the Wii.I only tried installing 2 Wads with Wii Mod Lite though, because after when I tried to go back to the main menu of Wii Mod everything would freeze, which I assume is not meant to happen, So I tried installing 3 other Wads with YAWMM again but as I said, no luck.I might also add - when I start up YAWMM it says HWAHBPROT is disabled and asks if I want to load another IOS instead. I've been selecting 'no' but should I be choosing IOS 249 instead? My system menu is 4.3.I tried selecting IOS249 and IOS80 in YAWMM as you said, and as it's been a while since I tried all this I also tried again using WiiMod Lite, and for both Wad managers I tried using an original Wad (NTSC) and converting it to PAL with both FreeTheWads and ShowMiiWads, but I had no luck again with any of these combinations:I might also add though that a month or so ago I managed to get a few PAL-converted N64 Wads working, but I can't remember how I got them to work, and they were playing at the wrong speed anyway. I also believe I got those Wads from a different place than all the other Wads I've been using, but that wouldn't make a difference would it?
