Action Replay Freeloader issues

Hello,

A friend of mine is currently having problems with her Free Loader when trying to play Naruto 3 on her Nintendo Gamecube. The item is Action Replay version 1.14A. The site FAQ has not helped, either.

The problem happens when the title screen is reached, in which an error message that is in japanese appears, unable to play the game. While we do not know japanese, we know the english word is "OFF".

Thank you very much.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

that would be a disc read error, it's telling you to turn your gamecube off, and have it serviced.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Have you tried the alterante bootup methods? I've found my NTSC Soul Caliber II will only agree with me if I specify the region. And with Skies of Arcadia I have to boot to the root menu.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hi I have been searching for a solution to the same problem. I just got Naruto 3 and am trying to play it using Action Replay version 1.14A. The game, which is brand new, will play the intro and will get to the first menu, but will then immediately go the the black screen japanese error message telling you to turn the system off. The gamecube model is DOL-101. I haven't seen many other places reporting this problem, but those circumstances sound identical, have you found a solution?

Double Post:
also, i have tried the alternate boot methods described in the manual, and i can't get either one to happen. i've turned the cube on with no disc, and then put the action replay in, but there's not action replay logo that appears, as the manual describes, it just continues to stay at the cube setup menu. also, pressing Y while choosing the freeloader option on the menu seems to have no effect.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
