I have the dumb new Wii model without Gamecube support. So, am I limited to only backup loaders for it, or is there some way to softmod it so it loads discs? (Unlikely, since I think the lack of compatibility is in the disc drive itself...)
Would it even be necessary? AFAIK, Japanese Wii's output NTSC, meaning that they should be plug-and-play with US TV's. To play a US game all one would need to do would be to load it through a loader of some sort, such as NeoGamma or even Gecko OS.But I don't know if or how well they could be soft modded into US format...
