Hacking gc imports

[MetalReaper]

hey, i know you will probably say "search first" and stuff,but i couldn't find anything.
Is there a way to play gc imports on wii?
i mean , i have no problem with most gc imports,but zelda windwaker doesn´t work.

Gecko regionfree (version 1.4/1.5) or datels freeloader.

I'll post a link to the regionfree in a sec.
EDIT: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=2507

The link was taken from the sticky: "Common download links" by Prime.

Thanks, gonna try it now

EDIT:Code dump error...it says "insert wii game" so , it works with gc games too?

 

[deba94]

It should, but if you got a code dump error, how did you see the message?

i just load the elf with hbc,then some sort of a menu shows saying "insert wii game and press A" or press button1 to force pal60
then i tried with A and it crashed

Try loading another way (TP hack, wiiload, etc.). A direct way of loading the elf.

the TP-hack etc is wii-mode only.
IIRC the only way to play gc imports is using a modchip, and you can not play pal games on an ntsc wii if they don't support 60hz. If they do, you may have to enable it using GCOS. So use GCOS

Gecko Region Free works with GC games? Why did no-one tell me?
In fact, are you sure? I'm gonna go check this one.

EDIT:
Nup, you most certainly can't play GC imports in Gecko Region Free. The ONLY way (IF it happens, of course) you will be able to play GC imports on the Wii again (without modding it) is if the firmware's IOS is modified. And that may not happen.
Just break out the GC if you need to play your import games. If you sold your GC, you're just silly

and if you DO mod it with a wiikey for example it all works great

 

[MetalReaper]

well , i have no gc...just a modded wii(and that's enough,if you know what i mean)

Just try GCOS then. The modchip regionfree and wii freeloader don't change the TV mode. (causes problems for me with ntsc ToS on pal wii, half the screen is blurry (or something like that), so I need to use gcos)

Why can't you just use WW from your own region?

I have WW legitly in my own region, but I happen to have a Wii MultiGames disc with WW and 4SA on it (down-uh, i mean legally bought it for 4SA), and since it's Multi Games, it already has GCOS on it (that specific Wii MultiGames disc, unlike most other you can find premade, is actually PAL)

If the OP has some imports working... I'm guessing it is already chipped.

If you have the games dumped - I find you get best compatibility if you use MultiGame ISO Creator v3.2.4F+.... and you get the added bonus of multiple games on one disc.

yeah thanks , that's what i'm gonna do when i get some more dvds
