Quantum Redshift help!

[Kiran]

Hi. I have a modded Xbox (not sure where it originated from, probably Japan or Hong Kong). I have a UK PAL version of Quantum Redshift, but the language is always in Japanese (or some similar unreadable language). I have my Xbox set to English.

Does anyone know of this problem and/or how to resolve it? The game is pretty much unplayable in Japanese.

When you say its ALWAYS in Japanese, are you talking about all the menus and everything?

Only, irrespective of which version of the game you're playing, the Announcer intros, countdowns and so on will be in the native language of whichever track you're racing on; the Arabic intro on the Egyptian track is particularly evocative of the international feel of the game, I think.

If its menus as well, I suspect you've not configured something in your BIOS, but someone more knowledgable than myself will have to help then.

Yes, menus and everything. When you first start the game and have to enter your user name its all in Japanese. I've managed to navigate through the menu and have a race, but after it there is another menu which looks like it could be for buying weapons/upgrades.

I think the developer of this title was too clever for their own good and made the game read some console region information and set the language accordingly.

You need to install Configmagic and change the EEPROM setting from NTSC Region 2 to NTSC Region 1 or 4.
