Support NeoGAF

[Dragona Akehi]

I just got in a shiny new copy of Paper Mario RPG. I don't have a modded cube, and therefore use the crappy Freeloader. However when I boot it up it goes so far and then gives a textbubble saying (in english) "No Messages." It will then go to the Start Screen and play the music but if I press Start to begin the game it repeats that text bubble and then proceeds to freeze up and emit a horrible screeching banshee like noise. This is quite annoying.

Edit: It's Action Replay version 1.06. Also, I'm using an NTSC USA region GameCube. I don't have a soldering iron handy or I'd just mod the fucking thing now myself.

Any ideas?

Is it that easy to mod a cube to be region free? do you have a web site with info on how to do it?

Sorry to drag your thread slightly OT

 

[Dragona Akehi]

There's websites that show you how. It's literally like two wires. Like I said, no access to solder where I am right now.

Yes this game doesn't work with the Freeloader.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Fuck. Guess I'll have to see if I can buy a solder or something.

You don't know anyone who's an electrician? I'm sure you could probably find a cheaper (and possibly better done) route by way of someone who is already an electrician with soldering experience or someone at a local vocational center/community college.

I'm sure the next update on the AR will activate Paper Mario support.

It's not that easy. Yes, it's only 2 wires (soldered to a switch, which is actually easy), but the wires have to be 30 gauge. That's equal to a diameter of .254 mm, roughly a little larger than a strand of hair on your head.

Now, I've done it myself actually, but all the same, it's incredibly dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Matlock has the right idea with looking for someone experienced.

It depends. Where do you live Dragona?
