Kind of a two part question here. I recently installed the homebrew channel, mainly to get around regional lockout (preparing for tatsunoko vs capcom). after the homebrew channel, I installed MenuLoader, and Gecko OS, two programs i read will let you run out of region games. I currently have no out of region games to test, so I tried running one of my U.S. games under Gecko OS. after inserting a game and pressing restart (as the instructions stated), I was brought to a white text on black background, that listed many numbers, and something about Coredump. I had to hard reset my wii. I'm just wondering if this is a normal outcome with trying to load an in region game.

My second question is about menu loader, which I tried after not having success with Gecko OS. I loaded Menu Loader up, selected my options (boot without region lockout, No menu BGM, etc...), and I restarted using the menu option. I booted up and the Menu BGM was playing; thus it didn't work. Any thoughts?
