Hacking GC loading question

[Xta Large]

I've been told different things, by friends, by google, etc.

Is there any way to boot my GC backups on the Wii? I've heard of things like 'sdgecko' but whenever I consult google I end up more confused than I was to begin with. Can any of you put it in idiot terms for me?

So what are the barriers to running GC backups in a similar manner to Wii ones?

I haven't heard of any serious experimentation being attempted on it.

Oh jeez. So there's no way to do it using just the Wii and an SD card? Dang it. Thanks anyway!

yes it could be done, the MIOS can be modded, its just getting they code working to boot backups, i think once the wii has 100% compatability working, there may be some looking into GC backups

Yeah, you need an SD Gecko. It's just 5 bucks, tho.

Sd Boot does have pretty poor compatibility though.
And it has bugs with SDHC cards, well the ones I've tested anyway.
I have 3 sepearate sd cards for my games.

Apparently Wiigator got the backup loader to read GC discs, it just doesn't boot them yet.
