Homebrew [Question] Gecko Code Question - Is this possible?

[AkikoKumagara]

Hello. I'm trying to figure out there is some way to apply Gecko Codes to WiiWare/Virtual Console games that are launched from the SD Card menu. Since Gecko no longer "sees" games as channels once they're moved to the SD Card, I definitely can't do it directly through Gecko's own app. I've also tried using the Rebooter option but that seems to only read codes for the inserted game disc.

I haven't looked into if any backup loaders can launch WiiWare/VC from the SD card, but if so, please do let me know and which ones are capable of this I appreciate any help in making this setup work since I'm trying to not require using NAND or EmuNAND to accomplish this.

Sorry I'm late but you can use Gecko codes with wiiware/VC if they're installed on nand. As far I'm aware you can't do that in the SD card menu. Sorry that you cant do that but hoped i helped

You can use an emuNAND. Generally it's a better solution than the SD card menu, which actually moves the game to NAND before launching it, making load times long, and adding wear and tear to the NAND chip.
Your two options for emuNAND are cIOS (which is simple to set up, just enable it in your USB loader, and the USB loader should also have an option to install WADs directly to emuNAND, at least USB Loader GX does). Compatibility is good, but not perfect with this method.
Or neek2o which has 100% compatibility, but does require some setup.
