Regarding NTC, Japan and US are the same (NTC). If one or the other was PAL, then there might be some issues, which I guess is why the one made for US consoles works okay in the Japanese console.

However, in the directions, it says you may be able to play PAL games too, based on the “alternative method”,which consists of putting the disc in twice. Weird, I know.

So go ahead and order, if you haven’t already.

However, I gave it a shot and followed their directions. You pop in the disc, and horizontal bars will scroll by, twice. Then you eject the disc, pop in your game, and you’re good to go.

I saw the GHIII logo, and instantly, a smirk appeared across my face. I clicked the はじめる　icon and it worked!

So yeah, if you’ve ordered it from Codejunkies, the one that’s designated for “US Consoles” should work on your Japanese console too.

However, like the warning on the box says, it’s not guaranteed to be future proof, and if you want to continue to play imports (domestics in our case), don’t update your console (unless you want to, of course).

Has your freeloader arrived? I’ve got a Japanese wii and wondered if the “US” version of the wii freeloader is the correct one for a Japanese wii due to NTSC?
