Update: It seems that the latest Wii firmware update 3.3 blocks the Freeloader Source Product info at CodeJunkies site Announced at the codejunkies site. This new one apparently lets you play any region Wii (and GC) games on any region Wii. Actually it now appears that there are in fact different versions for US and EU consoles. Some proof that it works: Der_tolle_Emil wrote: Domstercool wrote: |

Registered 16 years agoOh, I really need this. Screw updates. And even if updates screw it up, I'd be happy to pay for another one. It's not expensive is it?
Also, quite ironically I was a bit sad that No More Heroes was delayed but thinking that I could now order a US copy and get this as well makes me happy again.
I just hope that they don't delay it for ages. -

It's £9.99 but the postage is a bit steep (about £5 to the UK?)
Which isn't Austria
If they don't ship to you, drop me a line... -

They do ship outside of the UK, 5 pounds as well. But that's not too bad. Already ordered it, I might just order No More Heroes as well now. -

Registered 17 years agoHmm, wasn't the GC Freeloader a bit fiddly and unreliable to use? I may well pick this up though, just for NMH. Seems cheap enough.

Registered 17 years agoNot in my experience, but I only wanted it for one game and it worked perfectly well with it -
W116: FE
But yes it can see how it was fiddly for some: didn't some games not work at all and a newer version was needed for others? -

Registered 16 years agoWell the US Wii still has the better VC and it's only a matter of time until it stops working.
Until then though I'll play the shit out of US games. Just ordered No More Heroes. -

Ordered as well. For Baroque, obviously.
Quick, someone else calculate how many Freeloader revisions there need to be until it becomes cheaper to buy a US Wii (don't forget tax & customs), I have things to meet and people to do. -

Registered 16 years ago13. If you buy the 13th Wiiloader you essentially spent as much money on the freeloaders as you would have if you had bought an US Wii in the first place. Including shipping. And if the Wii doesn#t go down in price. -

Registered 17 years agoThanks.
I wonder if I should order more US games. Then again, we would look quite silly if this turns out to be a hoax.
EDIT: Oh what the heck, since when DON'T I look silly? If it's false alarm I'll at least have a great excuse to buy that US Wii. -
I have ordered, but I really really hope this works... Have a feeling I'm going to be disapointed. -
GC freeloader worked great for me (got resi4 US version) so i cant wait to try this wii version out... fingers crossed
