The reason why Japanese games do not run on US systems or vice versa is only region locking

Thats when Gecko OS comes into the situation!! :D]]> WaxyPumpkin72 OfftopicMon, 13 Jul 2009 19:55:29 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,24763,24784#msg-24784 Re: How do I know what I have?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,24763,24784#msg-24784

Note: Jap is actually also NTSC, but it is different to NTSC/USA, they are not cross-compatible.
Both NTSC (N and J) variants are compatible to each other, at least picture wise. The major differnce is the level of black. NTSC-J should look a little bit to bright on U.S. televisions.

NTSC - USA

And there is no way to switch if you're on 4.0. At least, none that is supported here. If you were on a lower firmware it'd be possible. But if you want to know for games, Gecko OS can load games of any region on any region.

And the letter after the firmware tells you the region as follows:
U = USA
J = Japan
E = Europe]]> SifJar OfftopicMon, 13 Jul 2009 18:13:41 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,24763,24763#msg-24763 How do I know what I have?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,24763,24763#msg-24763
