Hey sorry to make a thread about this but does anybody in the PAL region currently have the NTSC version of Desperate Struggle and is it working on Gecko OS ok?
I just don't wanna buy the game and find out it doesnt work. Thanks in advance. :)
Thanks for posting what I came here to ask! =)
The lack of a release date for Europe makes me cry inside, and I'm considering importing myself.
This is my question as well. I'm a little more confident than you two though, and have already gone and imported it from the US. It's on it's way. If the thread's question isn't answered by the time I get my copy, I'll inform you guys.
My god, I hope this game works. I've been waiting two years for thissssssss.
I have a pal wii and i can confirm its works 100%
For the sake of minimising issues later on... can you clarify any settings you have used?
My memory is blurry on this but for the first game I think forcing PAL60 caused a green screen hang... and using NTSC left everything with a red tint when going through RGB Scart cables. So... I had to use composite cables instead, and they suck :-\
Is that the case with this one?
Thanks masterhuman.

It could be. For all who didn't know, NTSC video on wii displayed via rgb cable is all red. I think it's because you get an s-video signal on rgb. Nintendo sells s-video cables on NTSC region and rgb cables on PAL region as higher quality video cable, while component cables are superior of course.
Anyways, back to the game. If it freezes on a green screen when trying to force PAL60, you need either to use the crap cable, or you can try patching the video modes. Patching the video modes helps for about half of these games, and it can be done by modifying the disc(pirate only method) or by using a loader that supports video mode patches on the fly. There's at least 1 disc loader that does this, but i won't tell its name here, since it's a backup launcher, you have to look for it yourself. (look for different backup launchers and look at their features)
I already asked for this to be added to Gecko OS, because in my eyes, the 2 main features of Gecko OS are Ocarina/Wiird and region free gaming. And video mode patches are very helpfull to a lot of NTSC users with PAL games, since their non HD tvs don't support PAL. And they are very helpfull to people with PAL Wiis and rgb cables, even for people who don't really care about graphics, it's a noticable visual difference.
