Certain Game titles require alternative loading methods to get them to work, these are:

 

Method 1

Switch on your Gamecube without any disc loaded. You will see the Gamecube`s main options screen. Now insert your Freeloader disc and close the lid – you disc will begin to load but not run. Wait until the Freeloader icon appears on screen – then you can remove the Freeloader disc and replace it with your game disc. Close the lid of your Gamecube and the game will load automatically.

Method 2
After loading Freeloader in the conventional way, press the `Z` button on your controller. This will display three `Region` flags on screen: European, American and Japanese. Use LEFT and RIGHT on your controller to highlight the region appropriate to the game you intend to play and press `A`. You can change region as many times as you wish before loading your game. If you do not select a region the dialogue will disappear after five seconds.
