Is there a way to get Dolphin to emulate the behavior of running NTSC-J games on a foreign console?
A region switch (or Freeloader/modchip/etc) used on a real GameCube applies in both directions, regardless of any consequences like mojibake.
Whereas Dolphin's "Force console as NTSC-J" option only forces non-Japanese games into Japanese mode. The option is ignored for Japanese games, and they always run as NTSC-J.
