Regoinal colour system

I think its a different regio.

PAL and NTSC are 2 examples.

I've the game your willing to play is PAL, but your Wii is NTSC it wont work as it should.
Vice versa

Chances are your video settings are on pal/ntsc, and you're configured on the wrong one... Maybe this can be configured, but I think it depends on your version of the wii console, did you buy it on ebay?
However, I think that some homebrew applications could fix this, altought i'm not 100% sure

That happens when your wii and your Tv set don't have the same region, for example a PAL TV and a NTSC Wii, some TVs have the option for changing the input region mode. An European wii will always be PAL and an american wii will always be NTSC.

If you purchased the system in the US or another NTSC area you will need a third party disc in order to play PAL games. Here is an example:

The colour system setting on the tv didn't match with your wii. e.g. if you have US/*** wii, you can set colour system to NTSC on the tv. or PAL for Europe wii.

Hopefully this help..

Back-up games cannot be played until you get your Wii modded. if you didn't do this yet, you cannot play them. Your TV has to do nothing with it, its the format you put on the CD.


Tip: Try to use Verbatim disks, they can be read on the Wii.

Tip: You need to put the file on the disk as a ''.ISO'' format.

In order to play a different region game on a different region TV (example playing a PAL game on a NTSC tv) your tv needs to be automatic enabled. Some tv's have an option on the remote to change the input signal to PAL NTSC or SECAM. If your tv does not have that then there is literally nothing you can do apart from get a different tv with this feature.

there seems to be a way , but it requires modding your wii

softmodding is better

check you've got it on the right PAL/NTSC setting.It's very likely the 50/60hz setting. 480i running at 60hz is NTSC resolution although the PAL Wii of course uses the PAL signal. The TV probably tries to interpret the signal as a real NTSC signal because it's 480i 60hz and thus can't handle the colors. There has got to be an option to switch between NTSC and PAL.
Are you using the same SCART socket that you use for your other consoles or a different one? My SCART3 input on my Panasonic telly has two different modes - one which displays in colour, and one which displays in a sort of grainy black n' white. There is a purpose to it but I can't remember what it is. :-)

Anyway, you switch between the two by pushing the AV button and then hitting the colour button which corresponds to SCART3 a few times 'til you reach the correct setting.

It probably isn't that, but... y'know. Sanity check.

You might need to mod it... which may be costly if you dont do it yourself.. otherwise its a region locked game and you wont be able to play it!
