hmmm i just tested it again and it works i think you need to reformat the disc with the applocale-ed SS4 before you transfer, the guy in the other thread mentionged deleting everything then reloading them so i tried the same with formatting then transfering again and the 40elk displays the japanese/kanji properly, guess i just need to fix the elk40 volume control then, the volume up button is busted for some reason ^^ thanx for your reply ! ps: just tested with the default remote too, it seems that it can only display katakana and not kanji, the remote also displays hira with katakana too for some odd reason, guess it's the only font it has
