Gaming gamecube games on the wii

[shemmy]

do the wii and gamecube games have to be the same region to play, or can i use US cube games on a european wii?

The Gamecube games will only work on their specific region Wii (ie, US cube game in US Wii), but you can get a freeloader to get around this. It will have to be the right version freeloader to work on a PAL Wii though.

EDIT:

Freeloader compatibilty (according to Play-Asia):

Multi-region Freeloader (1.0B) - JPN Wii
JPN region Freeloader (1.0B) - JPN Wii
US region Freeloader (1.0b) - US Wii
PAL region Freeloader (1.0E) - PAL Wii

Thats odd, I have the original one, the first release of freeloader. The manual says its version 1.0European, which seems to be the same version as they used to test it on a pal system, yet it doesn't work for me. Any tips on this?

Currently there's NO version of Freeloader or Action Replay that works on European PAL Wiis. I got a confirmation about this from BigBen, who are distributing the Datel discs in Germany.

According to BigBen, a PAL Wii compatible version of AR will be released shortly, I don't know about a new Freeloader.
