Making the Disc Channel Region Free, without having to reboot from Gecko.

[Prodeguerriero]

Hi there,

I was wondering if there is any way to "force" the Disc Channel in being Region Free, so that I don't have to launch Gecko every time I want to use a NTSC game on my PAL wii.

I ask this because my Disc Channel is alredy region free for GameCube games thanks, I think, to StarFall.

Not a big deal, but it would be nice if it could be done.

Cheers

priiloader has that option and even offers somewhat of a brick protection

Don't be surprised if you get countless errors regaring GC game loading, independent from using the disc channel or a loader.

If you really have StarFall, you should consider uninstalling it correctly(reinstall the correct system menu, not anything else!) and then installing priiloader. Priiloader has more hacks, and a way better brick protection.

But don't expect it to play all import games from disc channel, i think the region free patches force your Wii's region as video mode => half of all games won't work.

Thanks, maybe I'll check it out :)

As of today, it works fine with pretty much all my GC import Games. Therefore I'll keep it the way it is. If anything should happen, I'll keep in mind your heads-up! Thanks
