Hacking GameCube ISO's on Wii

[FGOD]

Should be possible as I recently saw a video of someone doing so:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpViNXGUxVg

Gamecube executables are related closely enough to Wii executables for some of them to actually start in Wii mode. The processor and the graphics are compatible to some extent, but that's about it. Anything else is coded differently on the Wii, even Gamecube controllers won't work when Gamecube software is booted in Wii mode. That is why in the video you see nothing but the initial SDLoad screen - he couldn't even press A if he wanted to see the rest of the software run and, eventually, fail.

if you are right about gamecube software unable to run under wii mode, then why can smash bros brawl and mario kart wii use gc controllers?

i mean, there are ways of getting the gc software to work under wii mode, but the only thing is that nobody found a way yet...

Re-read your message. It is fundamentally flawed from the get go. I'll give you a hint. Hardware is not software. That should be more of a clue than you need.

you seriously need to get a life. the guy asks, can you load gamecube isos without a modchip. nowadays the answer is no. your epeen will not grow any further.

I have great soldering abilities, the problem is the wife... she won't let me come within 3 feet of the Wii with a screwdriver, lol...

I'm curious. Who bought the Wii? If you did.. go ahead and mod it and don't tell her. I would.

And that's the reason your not married! Wives know EVERYTHING we do... It's kinda hard to mod a Wii without her knowing... "Oh, hunny, don't worry about that package from that mod chip place, or worry about the $40-$50 charge on the credit card... it's nothing... I'm just gonna be in my work room for a little bit with the laptop and Wii... no, I'm not soldering anything... I'm... uhhh... gonna play the Wii... why don't I need a TV?... ummm... I have the laptop! Oh, ummm... I found a way to hook it up without power or A/V cables... yea... that's it...." -- followed by a smack upside the head....

You seriously need to learn to read. Look at the quote. That is the statement that I am addressing. It's why I quoted it.

"The guy asks" why gamecube software can't run in Wii Mode when Wii games support gamecube peripherals. I'll keep it nice and basic. A controller is a piece of hardware. It will work with anything that supports it. The gamecube controller ports are supported by the Wii hardware and Wii Mode. That's why the games can use them.

TAKE THAT FGOD!

No... THE GUY being ME asked if there is a way to load a GameCube ISO (still in ISO form, or extracted) from an SD Card either from the Front slot, or an SD Geko device without the need for a ModChip.

As of the time of THIS post, I can see I can't. End of discussion. The only posts that should follow this is any discussion about HOW to get GameCube games to run WITHOUT a ModChip.

edit;

insert any obligatory "pwned" messages here

ooooooops sorry had a long day and I thought jaxxxster replied that to me for some reason! Sorry about that ashura your epeen is fine

I feel you didn't receive a proper, non-condescending answer to your question, which is by leaps and bounds not nearly the stupidest I have ever seen in this forum:

Because that is Wii software. Gamecube controllers can be adressed by both Gamecube and Wii software, but the two use different programming to achieve this.

QUOTEi mean, there are ways of getting the gc software to work under wii mode, but the only thing is that nobody found a way yet...

There is no, absolutely no possibility to have Gamecube software run in Wii mode by "finding a way" that just hasn't been "discovered" yet in the sense that it would be just laying around for the first one to notice it. Gamecube and Wii software fundamentally differ in the way they are handled on the Wii. For Gamecube software to run in Wii mode, let alone be run from ISO images or similar, large parts of the core system (read: IOS/MIOS) would have to be hacked/analyzed and rewritten/emulated/layered. If feasible at all, this is a monumental task, and the very few people able to do it have only begun the first steps.

[Begin post resurrection] Well... two ideas come to mind, modified IOS files that either (a) modify GC hardware mode (if possible), or (b) hijack gc mode to run in wii mode, accessing the gc hardware and some wii software functionality.
For instance, Prii loader can access ios files before they are loaded into the system. Perhaps such a program can run outside of the system menu to check for gamecube games, or loaders, etc. for their system calls to the GC mode. Then from there it loads a specialty IOS or app or whatever. My thoughts would be that the best option would be for that program to run and relabel the memory addresses internal to the device to plot whatever section of USB or SD you are using to "act" as the GC/Disc Slot.
I don't have the technical know-how to enact these kinds of ideas, but the idea has to worth something, ya?

Was it required you dig up a post from 2 years ago?

As for loading from SD gecko...difficult, but wouldn't surprise me if it were possible. At least the hardware shutoff in BC and/or MIOS (forget which is responsible for it) wouldn't be an issue...

Loading via usb gecko with USB-Boot works, so i assume loading with a SD-Gecko works as well using SD-Boot. You need to boot it as gamecube homebrew(requires a cMIOS and an app that boots the loader in GC mode)

About the other stuff: Priiloader is booted by the system menu IOS, but that isn't important. It's just a wii app that is booted before the system menu, and boots the system menu with patches, nothing more, nothing less. Sneek is something different, but MIOS is not an IOS, so sneek is also next to useless regaring this.

Install wanikoko/wiigate's CMios and you can get it work.
But the capatibility is not as good as WII loader.

that's WiiGator, not WiiGate...
