I loaded the new version of mario kart deluxe wii 9.0 hack with rvloader 2.1
The game works but the game is displayed in RED being NTSC
all other PAL games are displayed regularly in color
I activated from the priloder region FIX
but the result does not change
Obviously all American games are displayed in red
At the moment I am doing some tests and I have not yet cut the card and I am using it connected to a CRT television with a RGB scart cable
what could I do to see American games in color?
MOD EDIT: Combined multipost

This is actually not an RVLoader issue, this is a Wii AVE limitation. NTSC games by default do not work with SCART. The AVE doesn't have enough outputs to give every video mode its own lines, so PAL RGB and NTSC S-Video share the same pins. RGB red is shared with S-Video Chroma, so what you're seeing as a red colour issue is what happens when S-Video Chroma is fed into a RGB colour line. Their formats are alike, so your TV is able to interpret this as a red display.
Without softmods this cannot be overcome, as the AVE's video output mode is normally tied to the game's region. Priiloader's region fix doesn't work for this, but Nintendont's does. You can force the game to use the PAL 60 video mode and that will make *some* NTSC games work over SCART. Some games have their video outputs hardcoded and cannot be forced by software, so you'll have to use composite, YPbPr component, or VGA to test those games.

So I soldered a composite video rca cable but now it is seen in black and white
Of course PAL games are seen in color
When I installed RVLoader I did not install the FIX WIFI and VGA patch
Do I have to activate the VGA FIX patch to see NTSC games in color?
Nah, the VGA patch just replaces the YPbPr component video mode. NTSC not displaying properly, 99 times out of a 100 is because of the TV not being fully compatible with NTSC video formats. Is this TV known to be compatible with NTSC video formats? Is the black and white composite feed using the Nintendont default settings, or is it forced to PAL60 here?

I wanted to clarify something important
I am a console collector I have about 40 from the 70s to 2025
I have 3 CRT televisions with cathode ray tubes to which I connect dozens of PAL consoles with RGB scart cables and I have dozens of games even NTSC on PAL consoles and they all work in a spectacular way with clear and perfect colors
only the Wii gives me this problem
So my devices work PERFECTLY
you tell me to try NINTENDONT but Nintendo is for GAMECUBE games!!!
this game is for WII
Therefore Nintendo is of no use to me
a friend of mine tried this game with an HDMI adapter and sees it in color

My apologies, somehow I forgot that we're talking about a Wii game. RVLoader does not support forcing Wii game video modes. Nintendont can do it for Gamecube games because it's a general purpose software for all use cases that just happens to do everything needed for a portable, but RVLoader was developed specifically for the needs of portables and running NTSC games on old PAL TVs wasn't an expected use case.
As for why the Wii is the only console with this problem, as I mentioned before, the Wii's video output mode is tied to the game's region. Unlike most other consoles which have region specific hardware on the motherboard and will output that regional format even when playing an out of region game, the Wii has no regional hardware differences. Nintendo made one universal design that can output all regional video formats, and then forcibly tied which format should be used to display a game to that game's region flag. This is why composite shows as black and white on your TV, it's the normal result when NTSC composite is sent to a PAL region TV. Nintendont can spoof this for Gamecube games because it runs them in Wii mode as a wrapper, but RVLoader runs Wii games using Hiidra, which despite having features like GC2Wiimote and the noWIFI patch, doesn't have a force video mode option for Wii games because composite and VGA on modern small LCD screens service 99% of games and there are no commonly available small screens that support the other region specific video formats.
You'll have to try USBLoaderGX or other equivalent loader and see if they support forcing the Wii game's output mode to PAL60.
