Animal Crossing (USA).iso Eternal Darkness - Sanity's Requiem (USA).iso Metal Gear Solid - The Twin Snakes (USA) (Disc 1).iso The Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker (PAL) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) [60Hz hackable].iso Viewtiful Joe (Japan) (En,Jp) [fan translation patched].iso He even kept Japanese exclusives with English fan patches—still respecting 1G1R because those games had no native English release. Alex shared his set with a friend, who asked: “Why don’t you keep both USA and Japan versions of Smash Bros. Melee?”
