    Could of sworn I had both of those playing... admit might of just been on my GameCube though (I'm sure I did on the Wii aswell, this was a long time back now though)

    Anyway here is a compat list for GameCube loaders includes basic instruction on how to fix errors, some of this I remember needing to do myself with fstfix, infact used that alot..

    http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Gamecub...atibility_List both games are working

    B/W you can either patch it (Neh) or you can use the loader's video settings (Dragons lair works perfectly well for you, it just needs the video settings tweeked to display correctly on your TV)

    As for the exact settings, asides from me being rusty I don't even know the region of your TV/Console or Game

    i am in canada so i use NTSC stuff, so i dot know why it show in japanese, aside from that even though both games work they have those bugs i mentioned, is it likely the loader or the wii? (i tried them on my friends wii and they wouldnt even load)

    Ikaruga has some Japanes characters in it even in english, as well as the japanese language option for the menus. Now, if it crashes you either don't have the latest version of the loader, or you have burned a shrunken .iso on the disc or you downloaded a bad disk image or...wait a minute.

    Do you have the loader as a channel in the system menu? Because last time I checked (been some time) it requires an IOS which slows disk read speed leading to problems while loading games from disks, unless this has changed.

    The loading probs is an issue with the iso before burning hence use the old fstfix prog to fix the ISO of the game before burning it

    Always make sure the actual Loader is up to date and you have the most compatible ios for it installed also

    -R/+R Disc load slower than retail DVD's anyway, this is normal for the Wii and GameCube drives (that goes for all consoles)

    I see. Well, I can't know for sure witout a screenshot of your wii's menu if you have NeoGamma as a Wii Channel but Zorlon's advice is correct.

    But if it still doesn't work and you can't do anything more, then go to thepurplecube (can I post link or is it against the forum rules?) and get a proper working iso. Theirs are guaranteed to be working. If you still have problems, we're here to work somehing out.

    If anything I would suggest getting ModMii for the PC its very new-user friendly and gives you a text readout of what you will need to do. Here's a link for it.

    I just bought a Wii with version 4.3e (one week ago). I understand I need a SD card and a HDD when I softmodded the Wii. On the internet I found a lot of games which was formatted in iso or wbfs. If I am right, I have to transform al the games to wbfs, put them on the HDD en start it up with a program which is installed on the SD card, for instance WBFS manager. And what about the ols nes and snes games. I have got many games which I've collected in the past. Can I use those games or do I have to transform them to in another extension before using? Can you help me with that? Thank you very much.

    ISO's don't need converting this will be done automaticly when tranfured a WBFS manager

    Emulation iso's I presume can be on the hdd (Never looked into that personly) but wiiware NES and SNES gets installed on the Wii's nand via a Wad file installed via a Wad Manager
