What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
Both games are the US versions. They check if the system language is set to English. The game(s) won't boot if not, it doesn't even show a prompt or something. Dolphin 5.0 showed a prompt with some memory address, newer versions (QT probably) don't do that(just for your information). Maybe its good to let Dolphin tell the game that the system language is English which probably won't cause any issues with other US versions of the game for obvious reasons XD. Such a routine should be easy to implement. (I can't tell if other regions do similar things, because I don't own the EU version.)
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Set the Wii system language to something else (in my case German), then start the game. It will be stuck in a black screen.
Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
Yes (5.0-8490)
Is the issue present in the latest stable version?
Yes
If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)
If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
Match language to the region it belongs to if the game won't boot.
