What is the physical reason why the Wii U can't read Gamecube discs? Is it simply an issue of the drive not being able to handle the physical size or something more? If it is just an issue of disc size wouldn't it be possible to use a mini disc adapter? If not what physically keeps it from being accessible? Would it be safe to even try?
To be clear, I am not asking about disc mounting or playing from a disc. Just seeing the data on the disc.
If it is possible, then couldn't Devolution's verification check be adapted to using these adapters so that a Wii wouldn't be required? And what about disc rips?
Personally, I own all my games and only 2 were too scratched to do a verification check on the Wii. I would naturally prefer not having to take them out of the attic so I still will probably use DIOS MIOS on the Wii until something better comes out, but it wouldn't be bad taking discs out as it would be needing the wii every time I want to rip and verify. At that point there really is no point putting GC on the Wii U at all so I was hoping there might be some work around for those who want to be able to verify discs without a Wii.
