Title: Wii ware and WADs
Post by: XB on February 20, 2009, 11:49:22 PM
Question:

Are the WADs that you can install either PAL or NTSC?
In other words, if you install WADs can they brick your wii if they are a diffrent region?
I know it is not reccommended to play Back-ups that are not from your region, but what about WADs?

Also, when using Virtual console, can those games be region specific?

OK i think I answered my own question.

Virtual console games can be region specific, as I understand.

But what about the WADs? I have seen some that say "injected and patched from PAL."

Are those safe?

Umm idk lol I would not Think a PAL Wad installed on a NTSC will brick it as it's ust a TV video Rate thing it does not mess with the Wii it's self.

Just the game will be like Wii Games where there Black and White  :P

the only reason I ask is because i saw a good pack of WADs, like 5 gigs and it said PAL only. I thought that was kinda strang since I was under the impression as you said that it only  a game issue. It cool though because they had an NTSC version and it worked fine. Although it said injected and patched from PAL.

OH well. I gots three pages of channels now though, so im content.

Thanx again ZZK2001.
