Bah, I got my sexy little 20th Anniversary Kirby (Japanese Wii)game, but Gecko won't load it. ANybody got any ideas?

Thanks Hursti but we finally figured it out - praise the internet

Really? - Excellent , personally I think the concept of any Force Sensitive being able to pluck a Star Destroyer out of the sky and crash it into the surfact below as being excruciatingly cool!

Aren't Gecko's a protected species?

I honestly can't help you dude sorry, Gecko sort of sounds like it's some sort of Middle-ware App? - Would there be a FAQ on the issues posted somewhere perhaps?, I can't imagine you'd be the only person who's run into the issue.

Not this one Nah Gecko is a bit o homebrew what makes my Wii play other region games. Sadly, it would seem that my new Kirby (full of old games mind you) seems to have it pegged. I can get it running with a bit of option messing about, but it's unstable, I guess that's understandable though, as I noticed the program hasn't been updated since 2010!!

On the plus side, the 20th Kirby pack is pretty cool. Not as many retro games as the Mario pack, but there is a kick arse museum mode and you can view 3d models of the Japanese game boxes and some Kirby manga. As well as READ the manga! SAWEEEEET! As well as videos of ALL kirby games and stuff as well. It's a pretty great little pack and well worth the $40 considering the history and stuff in there.

Actually Kirby has 6 games whereas Mario has only 4 - maybe some need to be unlocked?

I have been out of the Wii scene (lost track once they started moving to harddrive based loaders) but maybe u could try installing neogamma? Failing that do a search and see if it's just an IOS ur missing that needs to be installed.

Oh, I just though Mario had more. Meh, I suck at mario anyway. Aaa, neogamma. Doesn't work on 4.3 firmware = pain in the ass I think and I have a feeling it wouldn't solve the problem anyway. I will keep fiddling with the options for now. I mainly got it for the collection and the soundtrack CD more than the games

I rekindled my love for my PS3 over the weekend and spent time with Uncharted 3. Hadn't turned on the console in such a long time that it needed almost 20 mins to update the game software

I went the nostagia route and brought out the n64 (got the pokemon n64 console) and was playing pokemon stadium with mates. Those mini games are frustrating but fun. And also completed the legend of zelda a link to the past on gba 100% for the first time, something i didnt do when i was a kid.

Had some time for 360ing today and just wanted some lite action so i played the Vanquish demo again (and again, etc..) trying different stuff with the boss. Once i remembered the controls again DAMN i love that sega arcade action feel!! I must buy the full (it is short) game (and cheap now!)

just thought some people might like to know Borderlands 2 comes out on the 21st September and the cheapest site i know is GreenManGaming (my referral link http://www.greenmangaming.com/?gmgr=kuhelinu) for $50US compared to steams $70US.

but also, there's a 25% off code valid for another 20hrs GMG25-1BW0K-K1A3G which brings it down to $37.5US.

also, if you use my referral link, we both get credited $2 each when you spend at least $2 on their site.
