Hello,
I've been searching around for awhile, looking at different posts on different websites, trying to figure out a couple things, and found different answers for each thing, so I wanted to make a post about it and get a solid answer on them
First off, for a family edition wii, can it read gamecube discs? I've had some people say "ofc it can read them, there's just no ports" and others say "it just spits the disc back out, no support for the discs".
Second off, (and I have no experience with any of the terminology I've seen people use so I'm pretty much clueless here) is it possible to attach a gamecube controller to a family edition wii without soldering the ports back on, if it even has the holes for them?
Note - I saw this video on how to play gamecube games with Nintendont and a mayflash adapter on a family edition (youtube(dot)com/watch?v=JLbYg9oh7jU), but to add on to this. Assuming the family edition can read gamecube discs, would this allow you to play those gamecube discs with gamecube controllers? Or would it be restricted to the emulated games from Nintendont?
I have experience with dolphin and the mayflash adapters, but that's about it xD
One other thing - does anyone know how compatible these are? Like, can I plug it in and expect to go and play any wii game w/ my gamecube controller? Or to play any gamecube game (emulated from nintendont, or from a disc - assuming that the Family Edition can read discs)? amazon(dot)com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii-Nintendo/dp/B00YH3NWTW
Thank you for your time,
Sable
