Hey guys. I've been trying to get the japanese version of OoT to work on my room mate's softmodded Wii. So far I'm able to open and run it from the Wii Menu, but the game is slow and laggy as hell, low framerate etc, basically unplayable (the sound in particular sounds as if it's been slowed down in a really bad program).
This is a breakdown of what I have done and/or tried so far, so hopefully some of you see where I have fucked up:
- I downloaded a .wad, put it on the SD card and installed it with Wii Mod in the Homebrew Channel (I've tried 2 different wads so far, literally the only ones I could find).
- I enabled the 'Allow all regions' setting (or whatever it's called) in the Priiloader startup menu.
It still had that laggy, crackling sound and framerate, so I read something about a TV video mode, and that I had to change that to NTSC, since I'm using a PAL TV. So at this point I'm suspecting my TV is the problem.
- I went on the Wii settings and changed 'TV Type to 60Hz (480i), as that supposedly should fix it.
- Didn't work so I tried the other setting: 50Hz (576i).
No go.
One thing I've noticed is that when I choose 60Hz (480i) and launch the game my TV automatically switches to 50Hz (576i), and as I'm aware there are no TV settings that can prevent this from happening (I've literally tried changing EVERY possible setting on my TV, including the sound options). So as you guys can see, I am absolutely clueless at this point, and I'm actually considering buying a new TV. I hope anyone here can give any pointers? Thanks in advance.
