It's patched in italian. Yes, the unpatched rom boots. I've tried using the patched rom on an emulator and it works and I've tried using both the ROM patched in Italian with and without the AP patch on twilight menu but it doesn't work.
and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
