Finally: Freeloader for Wii

Dascu said:
Hmm, though I ordered it on Sunday, it still says "In Process/Unpaid/Unshipped". Now, it's the "Unpaid" part I'm wondering about. Did I do something wrong, or is it just taking some time before the transaction registers?

You won't be charged until it ships. Some places are saying it ships on the 14th, but they told me it ships on, er, today.

Ah, so that's how it works. Alright. Get shippin'.

naruto gnt ex 2 and gundam: ms sensen 0079 are the two imports i've played the most on my japanese wii that aren't coming out here. i'd throw in pawapuro wii, too, but since mlb power pros came out here it's not a big deal.

other than that...it's been kinda thin so far for japanese wii exclusives. it was nice not waiting for no more heroes and brawl, though.

You could import the unfucked version of Naruto.

Only anime games, huh?

Also, what's the fucked Naruto game like?
 
I'm getting worried they sent me the wrong date :-\ I'll pop them an e-mail later if I'm not told it's shipped today I guess, as I need this before next Saturday or I'm fucked :(

Why Saturday?
 
I just wrote to codejunkies about the shipping date. Hope they will have the right answer this time...And if so, I hope this date won't be pushed excessively far... I'd really hate to sit on my imported game for weeks while waiting for this damn thing to even be shipped.
Still, I guess the benefits of this "damn thing" pretty much make it worth waiting for in the end...Even if it's still not a reason to screw with us. Hear that, Datel ?
 
batbeg said:
I'm going home for a month next Saturday. So I won't be screwed so much as pissed off.

I am in the same boat as you :(.. if the date is wrong I will have to order another one, damn.
 
Thats where I got it from, ordered last friday and got it today :)

(in the UK)

Now just waiting for my free loader to ship..
Did your order get through customs ok or did you have to pay import duty?
Just wondering as I was burnt recently with custom charges off a present from a friend and it really pissed me off, so I'm a little anxious about importing as it'll probably make it cost more than just buying it normally.

Nope, they always mark down the prices on the packages and put them as gift. I have not once got caught having to pay custom charges, ordering with them. It really pisses me off when I do have to pay ordering from other companies though.

Ahh nice. Thanks for the info man, much appreciated. Will order No More Heroes now!

Prolly gonna buy Smash in PAL tho as I dunno if I can be bothered with lots of disc swapping. I have plenty to play over the wait period and not enough money.
 
Just ordered it from ebay. Fingers crossed that Nintendo won't fuck it up for us.

Anyone know of any decent Japan only Wii games?
 
My supplier is shipping them out tomorrow and they should be at my mates store by Monday/Tuesday - And Smash and No More Heroes is here so I got plenty to test :)

Which has already been brought up in the thread a few times. What supposedly happened was the update they put out was to stop piracy, and due to the way the old Freeloader worked it just happened to block that out too. Nintendo had no reason to fix what they accidentally broke, as they definitely don't give a shit about Freeloader.

Must of missed that. Anyway I certinately hope Freeloader continues to work.

Yes ! Thanks for that. Let us know soon how it's working out.
 
My order status over at codejunkies recently changed.

On Hold / Unpaid / Unshipped

Perhaps they won't ship anytime soon after all. I'm confused... : (

Your "mate's store" seems like the only Australian store thats getting Wii Freeloaders this month. Does he do national orders by any chance?
I'll prefer to order one from an Australian store than have to wait the extra week of UK/Euro shipping
 
i have a bad feeling about the whole freeloader :/
the release date was the 4th of march, but there are still no hand-ons or previews.
 
:O

The guys over elotrolado.net and gbatemp had released an utility to region-free any game.

ONLY for PAL!!

Already confirmed working:

No more heroes USA
One piece USA
Winning Eleven JAP
Dragon Quest Swords USA

Also, you can change your DBZ: 3 from the stupid 50hz locked to a nice 60hz!

:O

my pants just exploded.
 
Just checked into this: it's for ISO dumps only. It's not a bootloader that removes the region check on genuine discs.

Unless you have a modchip and burned copies of Wii games, this will not work for you (which hopefully means everyone in this thread, since Freeloader should work just as well).

Still needs a mod chip though. I'm sure NTSC won't be far behind too.

Oh, so it only works for the scum of the earth. Got it.

well it works for me. I had to dump my game thougth (and it took a lot of time via the SD card) but It really is worth. MLB power pro!! fuckingfinally!

And this will probably means that we will see a freeloader as the datel one in a few days (even hours, it´s just an on the fly patch to the main.dol file)

Anyway, just ordered NMH and Naruto Ex 2! any other only japanese games I should check?
Hajjime no ipo is coming to europe and I´m not too fond of WE.

So, you just downloaded something? No stuffing around and it worked?
*cough* PROOF? *cough*
 
NOTE: This version of Wii FreeLoader is for use on UK PAL consoles. If you imported your Wii from the States, and now want to play local games as well as imports, you need the American version of Wii FreeLoader, found here...
Hmm.
 
Lame. One of the coolest things was that I was going to be able to bring my games over when I went to visit family in America.
 
Wow, so there ARE three SKUs.
I've checked my order history, and luckily they're processing the right SKU for me.

Well if he can get them in anyone else can I suppose, I dropped by tonight and they have been shipped today... so everyone elses should be shipping today from CJ.

Sooo close, I hope my modchip doesn't interfere with it >_>
