Homebrew Trying to emulate GC games on my Wii...

[Salax]

Well, you seem to be just as harsh as those who are. Like I said earlier, I'm sorry for not being a masterful god nerd (like some seem to be). I'm not an expert or even a beginner in back ups and all that shit. I'm a newbie in case it wasn't F***IN obvious. Oh, and I'm sorry for your desk.

Keep in mind, this isn't a flame post; I get flamed here a lot for being a noob as well.

Basically, if game companies made piracy as easy as burning a disk, they would be complete morons and nobody would publish games on them. Look at the Dreamcast--it wasn't a bad system, but it was too easy to pirate on, and it failed.

Tl;dr: Really, you shouldn't assume that it's going to be that easy. However, as you said, you don't know much, so I don't blame you for not knowing.

And to everybody else: He said something stupid because he didn't know about how stuff worked. He realizes that, and you don't need to continue flaming.

There should be a new step to creating an account on this site. You should have to type out "GC ISOs cannot be played from the Wii's USB or SD card slots", and "GBA ROMs cannot be played from an R4 without a slot-2 expansion".

It wasn't? It's hard to know what is and what isn't then. Anyways, I got the message, so now I won't need more help on the matter. Oh and Thoob, that's a good idea, you should suggest it.

Nope, there's nothing bad with it. It has those sockets, and it plays gamecube games just fine.

nvm, that was a joke XD

I kinda guessed that, but I wasn't sure between "joke", "sarcasm" and "insult", so I just replied normally

ISO is a ROM,ROM isn't always an ISO

at least,that's how it is,IIRC.So OP did nothing wrong.

 

[Jacobeian]

Hum, no

ISO = CD image, named like this because .iso is (was ?) a common file format when ripping CD
ROM = Cartridge image, named like this because cartridges usually store the game program/data on PROM chips (Programmable & Read-Only memory)

Calling ISOs "ROMs" just because they came from CD-ROM only lead to confusion.

Can we call them all WORMs, because they are Write Once, Read Many.

Not a term you see often these days, I think we should make a concerted effort t brin it back into current usage.

/me goes to download some WORMs. =]

I recently started downloading GC roms and homebrew and whatnot, *following multiple steps I've found on the Internet*. I got to finally format my SD card, and I downloaded a bunch of different files which I put on my card. All this seemed fine, but when I inserted the SD card into my Wii, it said the SD card "wouldn't work" or something along those lines. *I tried finding a step by step guide with terms or methods I could understand, but with no luck. I tried and tried over again, but it just won't work. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

*That, in other words, means using Google.

all you had to do was to do some research, need I say anymore

/lock

Nope, I understand (even though all my research led to absolutely nothing, so my last resort was to ask somewhere with experts in the matter). Also, I like your name.

... And how do you close a topic?

You want to load gc games off a hard drive? look into a "WODE" (Google it)
