Guys, tell me. does the console region matter for running the game on the wii vc? I understand that with the firmware of the console, the region does not matter?
it doesn't really matter no, when we homebrew the Wii we region free it usually so that it'll run all regions. But if your system is in PAL and you want to run JP NTSC you'll need to region free it
It does matter because if you run the JP game with a non-JP region Wii you'll get garbled text for the classic controller warning. This garbled text prevents some SRM from working and also loses a few milliseconds on each reset.
Also for PAL Wii, region-free is not enough, you need to change the video mode as well (you can do it via WiiModLite), otherwise you'll stay at 50Hz, even though you're running an NTSC game.
I'd suggest just using the Japanese preset on WiiModLite to change everything in one go, both for points 1 and 2. You can ignore the brick warning, it only really matters if you use the Korean preset.
Only downside is that you won't be able to access your Wii settings while the console is preset to another region, but you can switch it back to your original region temporarily if you need to change some settings and then go back to Japanese.
Two new categories are here after being promoted from the extensions leaderboard.
Classic Kakariko Route: This is the old Any% route from pre-2015 that can be found under the Defeat Ganon tab. It features traditional gameplay many are familiar with and is great to start out with as a new runner
