Title: WIIRD and Gamecube Games and GECKO OS HBC
Post by: shark2003 on November 14, 2008, 04:46:47 PM
Okay,help me out here I cant remember but do I need to boot the GC games the old way with the disc in order to use WIIRD? or can I launch from the HBC just like a Wii game and use Wiird? I tried last night but Wiird wouldnt hook...

You need a way to run GC homebrew and GCNrd.

I was under the impression that GCNrd isn't needed.  Just boot the GameCube version of GeckoOS, and WiiRD should work with that.  In fact, GCNrd won't work on a Wii, because it requires a Broadband Adapter, which the Wii doesn't emulate.

Note that the Wii GameCube Homebrew Launcher will probably not work with GeckoOS, because it disables the disc drive.  SD Media Launcher supposedly works fine.

Thanks memorris,yeah,now I remember..I know I made codes before for some GC games but I guess I still need to boot into GC mode with the GC Gecko OS ISO disc to be able to use Wiird...for some reason I was thinking I did it through the HBC Gecko OS...but I guess not... :-[

Unfortunately no.. the swap from Wii mode to Gamecube mode is complicated and Nuke and kenobi tried and tried.. they stepped through the whole process.. and whoops.. thrown out.. connection lost.. and it's still unsure why!
