"***New Freeloader information - reguarding release, mem cards, etc***"

Well it looks like we'll be seeing the Freeloader and Action Replay sooner than even I thought providing all goes to plan.

I have been informed that providing their aren't any more hiccups in development, the Action Replay and Freeloaders should either be out at the end of this week or the beginning of next. (So it looks like you Super Mario Sunshine owners will be playing it the same day as me :P)

Many people have mentioned about keeping back a seperate memory card for the import games. Well I asked Datel to add that question to their FAQ (which they've recently updated) and they've basically said that "European and US games will happily share a memory card." However, if you import any Japanese games, your memory card will be formatted for Japanese settings, so it's reccomended you use a seperate memory card for your Japanese games.

Expect to see a new Codejunkies site sometime soon too!

Oh, and for those who are still unsure, the Freeloader will NOT be cancelled.

I'd only get a freeloader to get any games that weren't released over here that I really want. Other games can wait (but I might make an exception for Zelda!)!

Noticed this a couple of days ago, but it seems totally out of line with everything that's been mentioned about the freeloader to date.

Check on the right of the screen, the 'other versions' box. It seems the american one only works on ntsc machines (it's the impression i get). But there's nothing to suggest the UK one won't work on both PAL and NTSC (Jap and US) machines.

But then why would there be a difference?
Even if it was packaging regulations, it'd surely be easier for them to sell the same disk for ameica, since the uk one would do everything required of it (ie all region cubes with all region games).

I'm confused by this. Personally, i want to run uk games on a us/jap machine. According to the page's blurb, the uk disk will do this. But then why have a different one for us cubes?

IT MAKES NO FRICKIN' SENSE

Why can nothing with the freeloader ever be straightforward?

i was sneakysavage , you remember ? (thought not :))

Hehe, I've got so many online contacts it's hard to keep track with them all :)

I an't say whether or not the old UBB is coming back on Codejunkies.com, but the site is to change soon (if it hasn't already)

i used to be on codejunkies loads , and i used to talk to you on ICQ i think it was , and then you told me about this place and this is where i've stayed , strange how things work out.

Anytime.

Makes a change to not be attacked for trying to help people :)

Lets just hope the unofficial official release date is kept to :)

(It was told to me by one of the top guys from Datel, but could still change if things aren't 100% with the freeloader)

cheers edgy

Yes you can.

You can play Japanese and American games on a UK GameCube, UK and American games on a Japanese GameCube and UK and Japanese games on an American GameCube.

edgy , do you know if you can use it too play PAL games on an american gamecube ?
