I have just bought a Wii, I am in the UK by the way, and I am looking to get Manhunt 2 from my local games shop, it is a US copy. However I did upgrade to 3.3, now if I use the downgrader to put it to 3.2 and the Free-loader disk to run the US copy, would this work? I just want someone who has a greater knowledge than me to help before I go and spend about £50 on something that may potentially not even work!

there he is

You would need to be able to install the REV3 disk loader and downgrader to do that. This would mean you would either need your wii chipped or use the twilight princess hack.

If you had either of these then it would be easier just to run it through gecko RF.

Can't you just buy the UK version ?

Well the games about 30-40 and the free-loaders about 10. This Gecko thing, is it a download or do I have to buy something, my Wii is in no way modded currently by the way, its as if it was from the box but with the 3.3 firmware

You responded before I had time to edit my post :)

As you don't have a modded wii, you would need Twilight Princess hack to downgrade or run Gecko.

Can't you just get the UK version ?

It was never released in the UK ??? Didn't know that. Is that due to the "its too violent" nonsense ?

Well, in that case then yes you would need to get hold of a copy of TP to run the hack. So by the time you buy all that, its going to be one expensive game :)

To be honest manhunt2 wasn't even that good a game and probably not worth the trouble. But to answer your question any version of twilight princess will work, you just gotta get the right twilight hack version for the region of zelda you have.

As far as I know, it doesn't matter. Just make sure you run the correct version of the hack for the region of the game.

[edit] the penguin beat me to it :)

tbh the game is cheaper in the US due to the economy.
