| Boots GC imports directly using a small apploader hook to setup  |
| the correct video mode. To enable this feature use the new      |
| config disc (1.3). Make sure you also enable the basic region    |
| feature, thats what gets you through the wii menu in the first  |
| place. Unlike a real GC, the NTSC Wii doesnt output PAL50. That  |
| means the game may run but theres no picture. PAL60 games will  |
| work, however you need to enable it. The common way to bring up  |
| the "use PAL60?" dialog on a game is to hold B while booting.    |
| Forcing to NTSC may work as well. PAL consoles output NTSC just  |
| fine.                                                           |
