Japanese Gamecube Question
gru3som3rick:
My wife just bought me a Tales of Symphonia Gamecube system. How easy or difficult would it be to get it playing my US titles? It came with a matching Gameboy Player as well, so I'd need that to play American titles as well. Would swapping the shell of my black Gamecube/Gameboy player be the easiest way (not 100% sure the screw holes will match up though)? Or is there a better way of doing this?
Blueprint:
Get Datel Freeloader Disc (japanese version) it should do the trick.. ;)

Great, never heard of that before - I'll definitely pick one up. Would that help with the Japanese Game Boy player it came with as well?? Thanks Blueprint!

Use the datel disc to start the gameboy player disc, then just put your american game in the gba player. gba games a region free.

Since gamecubes are cheap as balls these days, a mod chip could be in the question as disc swapping is a pain in the ass.
Keep in mind, you need a dedicated memory card for Japanese AND American games. For some reasons, each region Gamecube formats its memory cards differently.
