there is currently no way to play GC games from usb at the moment I've seen someone post they'd give a $1000's for anyone who could get it to work

No, my question is: Can I play Wii games on a 4GB SD card?

Dialexio · Dec 31, 2009

You should be able to, but don't expect to store a lot of games on that.

there talking about a loader like GX or CFG where you don't have to be at the console to select the game you want

Could someone confirm that you can use uLoader with an external dvd drive to play GC games on a Wii with the new chipset? This thread is the first I've heard of that. Thanks!

Period.

You can't play GC backups over any USB device. The Wii shuts down the USB ports when in GC mode. HDD, flash drive, DVD drive, it doesn't matter, if it's USB the GC mode won't recognize it.

I can only play 1 game at a time, so I only need 1 game on a card at a time

Ok, please help me, I downloaded a wii game. It's an .iso, and it's 4.73 GB, though. How do I reduced the size to fit on my 4GB?

On a WBFS partition, the size will shrink when it's placed on the SD card.
On a FAT32 partition, the size will shrink when you put the game in a WBFS file. Note that only select loaders, such as Configurable USB Loader, support the use of FAT32.

The amount of space used depends on the game; some games could be 2.78 GB, others could use up 0.53 GB...

With Wode Jukebox you can.

Its a drive emulator. USB Harddrive does not connect to the back of the Wii.

(Like stated before, GC cannot be played through USB on any backup loader)

longtom1 · Jan 1, 2010

have you watched the video you have to be at the wii to select what game you want to play
people are wanting to keep there disk drive and use a usb loader like GX or CFG
and most people don't want to open their console

Wii Play is like 0.1GB...Wii Backup Disc is even smaller at 0.017GB (17MB).

@Tichinde925: Never heard of WODE, that video was interesting...

Tichinde925 · Jan 1, 2010

With Wode Jukebox, you keep your Disk Drive, play backups on it (Disc Backups dont work on D3-2, but ISO loading does), and can use softmod USB loaders if you want to.

Thats the main site.

longtom1 · Jan 1, 2010

for the price of it I would just replace the drive would be cheaper and use an external Hdd

Tichinde925 · Jan 1, 2010

Its the only method of playing GC backups on USB.

longtom1 · Jan 1, 2010

now that the new drive has surfaced it might spark a coder into creating a mios with usb support

Sure, but who needs that? It's cheaper to replace the chipset and play GC backup games from CD. Also, I know of a way that you can boot a GC game from an SD card, it would require software/hardware that is $19.99, but it's cheaper than that jukebox thing. I'm testing the method as soon as the package arrives.

and this:

Does not work with the Wii for booting backup GC Games.

The ISOs are not stored on the SD card, if that is what you are thinking.

If you can prove me wrong, I will be happy.

P.S.

Why don't you read the whole thread before saying we haven't talked about it??? We already have.

It's a good deal if you have, like 1000 GC .isos on your harddrive, but it's a rip off for me, because it's cheaper to get

1. A gamecube and SD media launcher (in my case I already have a gamecube)
2. It's cheaper to buy a new chipset for the wii, so that it can play GC CD backups.

And I don't have an external harddrive, so I wouldn't buy it. If you plan on burning GC games, don't get it. If you like loading GC games from your harddrive, get it, if you think it's worth it.
