Would there happen to be a softmod available that allows me to control the pointer on the system menu via the Gamecube controller?
No, there is not, and probably never will be.
1) No reason to do it.No, there is not, and probably never will be.
Oh? Why might that be?
LOL, this from the guy who always recommends to install priiloader aka the most invasive and dangerous system menu modification of all.1) No reason to do it.
2) You would have to do a lot of modifications.
3) Messing with the SM is dangerous.
4) Again, no reason to do it.

Priiloader certainly has the potential to screw up the SM, I don't deny that. I made it clear in the thread about priiloader causing bricks. However, it's install process has proven quite safe (with the exception of v0.5, which was more a result of TT fail) and it is very beneficial in the long run.You can push it around with a classic or guitar controller. It just needs to be patched to think one of those is connected and read the SI registers instead of the wiimote extension data.

Ugh, another reason to stay away from beta versions.It's not just the install process though, the crappy code in priiloader gets executed every time you boot your system menu. Take a look at the latest issues caused by the "0.8 beta 2" autoupdate that was pushed, some people can't even boot their system menu if they've got an SD card inserted.
I haven't heard that before, I'm going to have to do some research on it. Could you point me in the right direction?Older builds also had a habit of bricking the wii if a system format was performed.
Was that also the case with versions before 0.5?The main problem with v0.5 was that it did modifications directly in the system menu's directory rather than assembling them in a temporary location, ensuring they were correct, then finally moving them into position (like what happens every time a title is installed on a wii's NAND). Hence the period of time during which a brick could occur was much larger than necessary... because the coder is inexperienced/not smart enough to figure these things out on his own.

In this case, the user wants people to attempt something of little to no value because he is too lazy to use a Wii remote. I don't know if the change is even possible (you might though), and I don't think it's worth the risk.
Of course not. Do children in your family play with sledge hammers? They aren't easy to break. Also, I haven't had to pay for batteries for over 4 years because I was smart enough to get rechargeable packs.Priiloader certainly has the potential to screw up the SM, I don't deny that.

Bzzzzt, wrong. Did you even read my reasons? Besides, it's worth it for even more than what I mentioned.
Ever had one of your little nieces or nephews break one of your Wiimotes? I have. That is painful, especially when I only use the Wiimote minimally. In fact, the only thing I use it for is to SELECT MY FREAKIN' DISC CHANNEL. After that, it gets tossed somewhere else. Why not have the ability to cut it out of the equation, period? Not to mention batteries that you have to keep paying for. It would save money.
And, as if I even had to mention it, the very same problem would be solved for everyone.

As for other people, you are acting like this is a common issue. New Wii's aren't even going to include gamecube ports.
Anyway, it doesn't matter. It's never going to happen, just accept it instead of whining because you made bad financial decisions and let your relatives break controllers.

Lets see what you can do.it would be easy to add to neek!!!
