try one of these GC games, Xtreme G3, FZero, PaperMario, only cretain games work I heard.
I've got a chipped wii, should it work still. I've tried originals of quite a few (tiger woods, all star baseball)
but no luck yet.
just tried F-Zero. Still nothing. Maybe you need the cmios for it to work?

You need Waninkokos cMIOS or the loader screen won't show up. Also it appears the loader only works with DVD-Rs. My original discs won't boot.

Which games work highly depends on the installed cMIOS:
Waninkoko rev5: Most retail games(some need the eject trick...), most backup discs
WiiGator's cMIOS: It depends which variant you installed:
the one with backup launcher support: Only backup discs
the one without backup launcher support(for example from the NeoGamma thread): Only retail discs(some need the eject trick...)

Well it does not just boot MIOS, but all in all i would say it's a useless feature. But hey it's just an easter egg, so there's nothing to complain.

tried it with wind waker backup and it just went to a green screen lock up... power button worked to reset the wii though

edit: tried it again and cMIOS came up but it said error: disc change then the wii rebooted

this is with WiiGator's cMIOS... doing a nand backup at the moment, may try installing waninkoko's when its done

I wonder how the thing reacts if you put a Wii disc in that original says its a Gamecube disk (like TP Demo / Nintendo Backup Disc 1.21)

None the less, great to mess with GC games in Wii mode.

Lol wow over 100 users reading.... So just to be clear, the esater egg is a GC USB LOADER??
No. It just runs GC discs in Wii mode. You still need a disc.
Hmm and that just allows GC discs to run faster,.... anything else?

no. but if it works like people are saying.... could very well be the first important step to getting a GC USB loader to work in the near future.

OMG this is great! I started YAWMM, reloaded IOS249, pressed eject 6 times, insterted a gamecube disk, and the game started up! The wiimote has still sync and my HDD is still on! OK, the game crashed before main menu, but that's not important!
