(title should read "PAL Wii U")
I just received Nes Remix Pack from the USA on disc. I have just done a virgin mod of my Wii U with latest Tiramisu and everything is working fine so far except for this one game.
I dump the disc on to SD card using WUDD as usuall (in .app format), then install the dump using "WUP Installer GX" to external USB drive.
The game icon shows up on home screen as all the other discs I dumped do (from my PAL collection) but when starting the game hangs on the initial intro screen showing tiled NES characters and chiptune music plays but then it stays like that for ever and the console becomes unresponsive, I have to power-off to get out of it.
I am new to Wii U modding and have dumped / installed all my PAL discs with no issues so I can only asume this problem is something to do with NES Remix Pack being a USA release. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks

OK I think I just sorted this out myself, I used Spiik to set my Wii U region from EUR to USA and the game is now loading fine. I guess I was expecting Tiramisu to have catered for this region disparity automatically, but now I know this is not the case for some games....

Tiramisu will just let you run any region titles, but whether those titles will work depends on how they were programmed. If the developers made incorrect assumptions about your console (like that it's the correct region), games can easily break. Aroma is more suited to this sort of thing, as it comes with a dedicated region-free plugin which essentially does what you were hoping Tiramisu would. From the user end, it pretty much just makes all out-of-region titles work.

Thanks, I will look in Aroma if needed later. For now, using Spiik is fine with me as this is probably the only USA-only disc I will ever get.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
