Running import Gamecube games with GeckoOS

homebrewnintendo-gamecubenintendo-wii

The Nintendo Wii is region-locked, so it can't run import games. There is however a homebrew application called GeckoOS, which I have already successfully used in order to play an European Wii games on my American Wii.

What I would like to know is: using the latest version of GeckoOS, is it possible to play European PAL Gamecube games on an American NTSC Wii?

Also, are there other ways to accomplish this?

Best Answer

It seems that there is a long standing limitation(could be a bug) on Gecko_OS. PAL Wii will play NTSC GC games, but NTSC Wii will not play PAL GC games.

I've been reading around and it looks like NTSC gamecube can run on PAL wii but not PAL gamecube on NTSC wii. weird I know but I've tried all of my PAL gamecube games on my wii using every type of loader possible and it just won't work.
