A friend of mine on an italian vg forum says that the first time he played Naruto EX2 it worked fine as you can see from these images

than the second time he received this error message

someone can translate this? thanks in advance.
P.S. of course, the console is non-modded and both the game and the freeloader are original products

Shafto said:Finally got Smash Bros, but my rubbish old TV isn't handling the signal so well. Composite displays in black and white, and RGB SCART displays in Red. Can't seem to do anything about it either
Same for me man. Though I tried the composite cable on my parents TV. Brawl works fine in colour no probs. So i'm not sure whether to buy a component cable or stick with my parents TV?

Received it today from Play-Asia, 13 days after it shipped. That was about time, too, as I was getting slightly bitter to see the PAL version, which I held off buying, sitting in stores...Anyway, now, for the Freeloader... Here is hoping the customs (which are apparently checking every imported package these days due to reinforced anti-terrorist policy currently in place in France) won't screw up with mine...
Aucun probleme avec mon Freeloader à moi, reçu en une semaine sans surprise douanière quelconque ^^

(Eh bien apparemment, il se trouve que pas mal de paquets en provenance de zones "sensibles" (Angleterre, USA, ...) sont restés bloqués à Roissy en attente de vérification pour cause de plan Vigipirate renforcé depuis quinze jours :/ .... Au moins c'est ce qu'un employé de la poste locale m'a dit quand je lui en ai parlé...
En tout cas, j'espère bien recevoir mon paquet en temps et en heure sans gros souci avec les douanes... Car aprés tout, mon paquet n'est parti que mardi dernier, donc y'a encore de la marge de temps, j'imagine.)
So yeah, there is still time before I should start to worry, so...wait and see.
Got to play around with the freeloader a bit today.

Got my Smash today, Tales of Symphonia has a crappy black bar ;( so I'm gonna have to find my GC and my old freeloader to play that again.
Smash was black and white on my tv via the standard scart cable, but I've borrowed my parent's smaller tv for now. I'll see about a new scart cable tomorrow maybe, an RGB scart cable is what I need right?

I still havent gotten my freeloader. This is getting annoying, but my biggest concern is still that it wont be the US version.
Shahadan said:I'm lost.
Pal wii + freeloader + composite (the one in the console box right ?) = problem OR NOT?
I need to know to purchase another cable for my sdtv if I have to.
Composite cables should be fine, it's only RGB cables that don't work it seems. What I want to know is will using a scart adaptor for composite cables cause the red problem
Well i'm not sure why the black and white problem happens if your TV can run 60Hz. Mine can but I still get a black and white picture with smash using composite. Problem is I can only use SCART so it has to be composite or RGB, and RGB doesn't work. Basically don't take it for granted if your TV can run 60Hz.
oh, got my freeloader faster than expected, which games should I order now? Is SSBB ok? I'm not really into fighting games, but SSBB looks fun from what I've seen so far, don't know anything about the predecessors... also looking out for Zack&Wiki, because it's half the price in Euro when I order it overseas. Is it working with the freeloader?

PAL + Freeloader + Composite
Works fine IF your TV supports NTSC 60Hz. Free anti-aliasing too ! Downside, composite does look really sucky....
SDTV
60Hz AND NTSC compatible : perfect imperfect composite picture, Smash away, just don;t look for details on the characters, they are there, you just can't see em.
60Hz Compatible but incapable of NTSC : Black and White
60Hz Incompatible : Rolling image top to bottom
PAL + Freeloader + SVideo
Best solution if you're component-less, BUT you need a TV that supprts NTSC 60Hz
PAL + Freeloader + RGB : NOT COMPATIBLE !
Tough luck, Virtual-Boy-O-rama. Totally red/black. Sucks cause most PAL TV's only support NTSC 60Hz through RGB.
PAL + Freeloader + Component
Best solution, alas, most SDTV's are without component inputs in euroland.
So, now that we have the TV problems out of the way, lets see if your Wii is one of the Wii's incapable of running Smash Bros Brawl because of laserproblems/smokers-Wii

Not a problem... the europlug just relays the videosignal to the right pin.

:lol I did a nightmare about this. With my luck I better begin to sacrifice some virgins.
Thanks for clarifying a bit, anyway ^^
alex >> Good point, I also want to know if Zack&Wiki is compatible
Don't hesitate any second for SSBB you won't regret it ^^ How many people hate Smash Bros anyway?

Rayne, you mention S-Video in your post. As in PAL Wii + NTSC SSBB + Official Nintnedo (US Only)S-Video Cable? Is this from personal experience?
I ask because a lot of people are suggesting that a PAL Wii is incapable of displaying S-Video, so there would be no point in buying the cable, if, like me, your TV doesn't do NTSC over composite properly. If, however, this was not the case, i'd be over the moon, as all i'd have to buy is an S-Video cable and i'd be set. (although, i'd be plugging said S-Video cable into an S-video -> SCART adapter, but I don't imagine this would affect anything)
Does anyone have the above peripherals that they could test? Think of all the poor Shaftos out there who're sitting with Black and White or 'Virtual Boy' filters on their Smash Bros, desperately seeking a solution!

Could I run it on my monitor somehow like my 360? Why doesn't anyone else make an official VGA cable? Then the question is how would I get sound, my 360 sound runs through my pc line-in, could I do that for the Wii also? I don't want to get an adaptor if it's gonna be in B&W or red still. Sorry for asking questions that have probably been answered a thousand times in Wii threads
It doesn't make sense for me to buy a HDTV at this house, so that's not an option at this time.

Jocchan said:...except Royal Mail (the one reported on both my order page and their site rules) DOES give tracking numbers while shipping to Italy
Maybe we could inform them that some people had 10 confirmations emails and received 4 freeloaders and sue them for sending our orders to people who didn't pay for it
WE COULD MAKE BILLIONS !

I want to kill myself.
Shafto said:
No, not from experience, from deduction....
The Freeloader makes a PAL Wii act like a US Wii, even omitting RGB compatibility in the process. I'd wager that goes two ways, no RGB compatibility but in the process returning SVideo compatibility. I'd go as far as saying the RED/BLACK picture is ACTUALLY SVideo but though the wrong pins in the RGB cable.....
Well, since the two mails I got today were blatant lies, I've answered informing them politely that I know how Royal Mail operates. I just want to see what they're going to say next (if they DO answer).Shahadan said:Maybe we could inform them that some people had 10 confirmations emails and received 4 freeloaders and sue them for sending our orders to people who didn't pay for it

I don't know about your order, but I'm pretty sure that - despite what's written on my order page - they DIDN'T ship mine.
But hey, let's relax. We've both paid, and we'll both get what we've paid for
Hmm, would anyone perhaps know if a Philips 28PT4512/02 will be able to work with Freeloader?Rayne.S said:
