I've setup USB Loader GX with EmuNAND to play WiiWare/VC games. I've tested a few games and they work fine. I hear that Castlevania rebirth is one of the special games that doesn't work this way. Usually neek setup is recommended to play this game, but for some reason neek is not very suitable for me.

What I'm thinking is, as most WiiWare/VC games work with EmuNAND, I don't mind installing the few special games in system NAND if they can work.

I understand I should always be careful if I install anything from a different region. My Wii console is 4.3J (Japan region), and the Castlevania rebirth wad I have is for USA. So the first question is, can I install it safely? Will it brick the console or break anything?

If it's safe to install the wad, will either of the following work?
- Launch the channel title from system menu (with Priiloader Region Free EVERYTHING hack enabled)
- Launch it via a USB loader (e.g. USB Loader GX) from the NAND channel

It's safe to install out of region wads, yeah. Priiloader and USBLoaderGX should also load it just fine.

    Tired of the entire "BUT BUT BUT WINDOWZ SPYWARE!!!" thing too, when the same people give out tons of their personal info to plenty of other companies but say nothing about it.

    @RedColoredStars, Companies do the exact same thing with other companies as well, so it's not just Microsoft. There are 3rd-parties like 'data brokers'.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I'm 52 years old and one of my jobs in life was marketing research. Im well aware. I've been online for around 30 years. Everyone and their grandmother already has my personal information. One more having my email address isn't ruining my life or even effecting me in any way whatsoever.

    @K3Nv2, Exactly.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    And for people to say things like "But I use all fake info". No, they don't. lol. They use fake info for all of their banking and online shopping? Fake shipping address, fake payment info? lol
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Fake name, address and payment info for internet service, etc? lol. Ill say it again. Everyone freaks out about OMG WINDOWS!! But crickets on anything else they do.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Other windows stuff people complain about hypocritically too. Like "But but but Windows bundle junk apps!!!!" Yeah?? So do many Linux distributions. Dont like it? Use one without them. Same with windows. Either find a pre-made version without the bundled stuff, or very easily make your own installer with what you want and do not want.

    I dont like the stuff added either. I have zero use for copilot or recall. But I also just simply disable it and move on.
