The Rescue for PAL-smashers - Freeloader for Wii! *Bad news folks*

[Toshen]

2 weeks since i ordered from Play-asia - still not here

Apperantly if you've been as dumb as me and picked the cheapest airmail it can even take up to 5 weeks before it'll arrive

 

[Tinkerer]

Aye, finally got it on Saturday there, stroke of luck through all these bank holidays.

Hope it comes soon. Play-asia don't seem to be very reliable.

Play-asia actually usually delivers 3 days BEFORE the minimum time it takes or so to me. Odd.

Is it an american or japanese brawl?, mine just got shipped (japanese) and when I ordered I saw that if I had wanted a american brawl I would have to wait 5-15 days extra because they didnt have them in stock.

Yeah, but mine was actually SHIPPED 15 days ago.

I ordered the american because i heard the japanese might give some trouble

However, it was shipped on the same day as the order

Sweet match Wooz, sorry I have to leave.
I can see what you mean about the lagging.

It seemed to totally disappear when you first used Charizard :S

Tetra add me I've added you


I will add lots of new people.. PM me if you add me back

 

[Faber]

I get Freeloader from Codejunkies today but I don't have Brawl yet. I hope I get it soon.

 

[Mysteryfox1]

I ordered from 365games and it now says ''being picked'' what does that mean?

LOL

I was going to ask exactly that question

Ordered yesterday, today it was on "being picked"



EDIT: just recieved a mail from them, despatched
The web still says "being picked" btw

 

[AerionTOFAST4U]

Good matches kensei I still suck tbh

Your falco is sweet :O


I'm Manaz btw

 

[kereo]

being picked with 365games means its about to be picked up by the mail on their end. When its picked up, it changes to despatched, meaning the package is on its way to you.

 

[Woozah]

thats normal, same way it happend me.
dont worry, i had asked them with a mail them and he replied that he just need to update the site, so it is despatched and on its way.

Yep - online 12-player Battle Mode, with 3 teams of 4 (or 4 teams of 3...can't remember which).

GAME are hosting a nation-wide MK Wii tournament on Saturday April 5th if anyone's interested. Source

 

[PikachuSSBM]

Yeah, but mine was actually SHIPPED 15 days ago.

This happened to me with my action replay for my PSP. It took 2 months to deliver. dont worry it will come :D

 

[Flood]

I will get mine one of these days!! Woehoeoeoe

lulz, just beg to sakurai "don't release european version before my brawl arrives!"

 

[PikachuSSBM]

i know how annoynig would that be lol. a european buys a copy of brawl from america two months before release. then two months down the line you receive it on the day it come out in europe lol.

 

[Grim80]

Hi there! I'm an italian smasher, I've ordered the game from 365games yesterday. I just hope that it will arrives soon

 

[PikachuSSBM]

good to know :D i like it when french/italian/german players are heard of.

 

[Terrorpeanut]

Since my american one was taking so long, I decided to get an NTSC from London yesterday. Today, they both come in the post, but none of them work!! It's an outrage!! It loads the picturein the wiimenu, but then when I pick it it just goes black and the controller won't connect. Bah!!

Methinks the freeloader is a jip

 

[chrisking570]

Peanut, just incase you didnt know, you need to put the freeloader in, let it make the noise and the screen go blurry, then eject, then put the freeloader back in, let it do that again and put brawl in. then when you click the picture it should ask to install an update. Click yes and presto!

EDIT: Also, make sure that you got the PAL freeloader.

Yeah I looked it up on youtube. I may have been a little bit hasty in my despair

It's working fine now - it was actualy the 60htz that was mucking it up. Thanks for the help though.

 

[chrisking570]

glad its working have fun brawling

 

[Terrorpeanut]

Oh I will...

Still scared to go online though. It still seems so... unfamiliar... Thirty hours today should solve that though!

 

[KAN]

Yay. ^^
Got Brawl yesterday. I wonder, if here's any other German smasher. ^^
What really sucks though, is that I've got an old TV and it can't display the NTSC Informations, so I have to play Brawl in black and white. No colour. T_T
I borrowed the TV of my parents yesterday, it's so much more awesome with colours. xD

 

[WikzoDK]

My copy was send today from Play-Asia. Can't wait, the game is very great (tried it with some friends last week) :D

 

[Moskari]

I'll receive my Brawl in next week and Freeloader I got already few days ago. Everyone in Finland get ready to add my Friend Code!

Ganondorf is going to be my character.

 

[Soluble Toast]

Hm. Quite glad I never ordered from Play-Asia now. They seem to have problems with getting enough copies.

Gamestop ftw! xD

 

[SealedSword]

Hey guys, does anyone know why Brawl just crashes after you select it to play in the wii menu? It looks like when you try to play the game without updating it first, the screen just goes black and the wii doesn't respond to anything =\
It used to work, we've tried inserting the free loader in twice again but it doesn't work.
the game works fine on other people's wii and used to work on ours XD.

 

[leeray666]

This happened to me the first time I tried to load brawl with the freeloader.
What worked was when I loaded the freeloader twice and did an update. Then I switched off the Wii and just loaded the freeloader once before sticking the game in. Now it works every time. If you've tried this and it still doesn't work maybe it would be a good idea to restore your Wii to factory settings and then try again.

 

[Faber]

Yay! I get Brawl today and it's from Play-Asia! I hadn't got any problems at all with it. It shipped last week and arrived today. And I used the cheapest delivery method. Game is great but I have old TV so no colours. =/ And that's a shame.

Ugh, i hate you
Any dutchies actually got theirs from play-asia yet?

 

[SealedSword]

Thanks Leeray666 I'll definitely give it a try

 

[Soluble Toast]

Those were some Good matches Tetra =]

I think I'm running out of LOZ trophies =[
Think i almost have them all. Gutting.

 

[TetraMaster]

Cheers Toast =] I really envy your Zelda!

I'm still not sure if I prefer Toon Link over classic Link...
I think Toon Link's floatiness really slows him down sometimes

 

[Kensei]

Tetra did I play you recently O__o?

Good games fox its really fun playing with you had to go cos Im tired =] cya tommorow xP

 

[MrOtter]

Did I just hear the words "Toon Link" and "slow" in the same sentance?
