In a clear demonstration of how behind I am, I've only just noticed that Freeloader actually did come out.

Been reading about it and saw they changed all the 1.04 discs to 1.06 because Resident Evil Zero didn't work with it, and the bit about you can't use memory cards with jap saves on with memory cards with pal/US saves on.

Is there anything else wrong with it, and how well does it actually work ? Now I've actually got a Cube (again) I might try Animal Crossing and see what it's actually like....

I'll see how Goblin do this time, on hindsight I'd probably have gone for importmadness if I'd known about them, saw Goblin's auctions on Ebay which is how I picked up their site.

My only real loss is I've paid £10 more for Animal Crossing but I'm getting two Freeloaders which will be spare and that I can sell on once I've got them upgraded.

Thanks for the info on the other place though Tiltawhirl

My first order with Goblin was bad.

But the five orders since have arrived in two days and they've alwasy had plenty of stock, even for new releases.

You'd have been better going with Importmadness.co.uk, cheap and very reliable.

My experience with Goblin was not a good one, they're very slow at processing games and half the time don't have them in stock.

I've decided to take the plunge and try something different, ordered Animal Crossing from them and Resident Evil as well, both come with free Freeloader discs so I can get both of them upgraded and clear them on Ebay, or failing that I've got two novelty drinks coasters :)

Anyone ever use Goblin Direct.com for import games ? They look okay and the price are pretty good - my local Another World seems not to have hardly anything in at the moment.

Freeloader is good, but you're better of getting Action Replay.

It comes with Freeloader (1.06) and also lets you do cheat codes.
Essential for getting Mario and Zelda Nes games on AC.

Also, it's only £18 if you pick the right online shop...

Check out www.codejunkies.com

There's screenshots of these test-dungeons available there.

Make sure you use a seperate save file though - I do with all my games when I use my Action Replay, and thus wont get any disappointments if I ever lose a save file.

No problem, I get one free every time I buy an import game.


FFF, if you want it send me your address.

Thanks for the offer WS, I actually got a disc free today from someone at Uni. Think I'll leave off AC for a while.
