How to Softmod a Nintendo Wii to Play Gamecube Backups

This guide will show you how to easily modify your Wii, to play burnt gamecube games.


Hardware You'll Need
  1. SD Card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233029
  2. Action Replay for GC - http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-...ay-70-1hp.html
  3. SD card adapter for GC - http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-...en-70-29x.html
  4. Nintendo Wii
Software You'll Need
  1. SDLoad
The Tutorial
  1. Plug your SD card into your computer, now using the link above get a hold of SDLoad, firstly you have to format the SD card to either FAT or FAT16, if you cant do this return your computer to the store from which you bought it . After formatting it run sdpatch.exe through the command line as follows:

    sdpatch.exe (drive letter):/

    now copy SDLOADER.BIN to the root of the card, at this point you can load it up with emulators and what not as long as they are in .dol format . They can be in any directory as long as SDLOADER.BIN is in the root.
  2. After installing the above insert SD card into SD card reader and plug into memory card slot A. Insert your action replay card into B and the disc into that place where discs go.
  3. When AR boots up pick the USA flag and then ADD NEW GAME. SDLOAD is the game name and push done. Then enter (m) as the code name. Enter the following code

    7YPR-RKZZ-MH6W5
    D26A-PE4J-1XX2W
    ZJHY-B1ZH-6P00G

    Then select ADD NEW CODE and name it SDLOAD. Enter the following code

    AF4H-JPF5-H1B5J
    MVAB-7TQE-ABZPB
    V2CK-QQ1A-Y6P72
    M5N6-CMMH-9EURT
    0JFM-3A6C-VZ6VK
    KYV8-0JGV-0GR1N
    2EGU-HVKF-NDMCN
    7AH0-J9JZ-HHGNJ
    4MHU-G8XT-ZRYCJ
    9474-KF41-8KG34
    QMEV-G90N-A8RV0
    KD4G-5QHV-74D46
    V97K-652Q-Y4TEY
    6M4W-9GPT-E99NG
    QPFY-DJAF-E01FV
    2Z6E-P2WY-24WV4
    6NHW-G3NH-HP31Y
    A2KF-MCKN-D645J
    K5V8-EF9W-7GFQC
    XTU3-269T-VH5NE
    H9GP-C4PP-6FGF9
    HF77-R45C-ZXPDV
    22Y3-D98C-50AJM
    WTWZ-EC88-U5ZTV
    36G1-UGDG-J2G84
    DUMT-15KR-DXJ8K
    JV55-6VF5-2Z02T
    D4R8-MVJ5-QGR21
    1G3C-APD7-1CUVD

    Select the code named SDLOAD and check the box next to it, press start and Open and close the lid of disc drive when prompted. Then SDLOAD starts up and you can take it from there!
The Code Process is a one time thing and from then on you can enjoy the world of Gamecube Homebrew and Emulators on your Wii Console easily and without Modification.

Emulators for Gamecube that will work this way include emulators for Snes, Genesis, GameBoy Advance, Gameboy Colour, PC Engine and Nes and also a port of Doom.


Enjoy Legal Homebrew and Emulation on your Nintendo Wii!

That is insanely retarded that you can already softmod the Wii. (Although you can already mod the 360 and the PS3 as well...)

Well it's because the Wii supports Gamecube games so therefore it can also play gamecube homebrew.
