Proof of Concept - GC Iso Loader on Wii (Starfox Assault)

[gtmtnbiker]

I saw a thread over at gbatemp.net http://gbatemp.net/t236616-dios-mios-gc-iso-loader-proof-of-concept-starfox-assault? where someone posted a link to the YouTube video published by "crediar" who got Starfox Assault working via some sort of loader. If it ever gets published, it'll be a pretty neat capability for the Wii since it's generally regarded that it's not possible to do this.

Here's the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT-4RofyV9I

Crediar has developed SNEEK and other useful tools for the Wii. According to the gbatemp thread, he has quit this GC loader project because he's upset that no one donated to his project.

I've been running multigame DVDRs of Gamecube games on my Wii for quite some time now. Hope they add GC ISO support into USBLGX though. That would be useful.

That's what this is supposed to be able to accomplish...
USB loading would be the greater challenge, since gamecube games are run in "gamecube mode", where the Wii thinks it's a gamecube, and doesn't know about things like USB ports

What I want is for somebody to make a Hard Drive hack for the GC. I want to just fit a tiny 2.5" Hard Drive in my GC, get the battery add-on that plugs into an expansion port, a Gamecube travel screen, than make a strap so I could carry it in around, hands-free, in front of me. Should that happen, I would never be able to get anything done, ever.

What i wouldn't give to have this released. I've heard so many times this was impossible. My Wii cannot read DVD's so i'm out of luck there. I would love to play GC games i could not get a-hold of instore.

They say he may release it afterall but i'm not holding my breath.

I'm confused, what is this actually doing?

I can boot copies of GC games on DVDR on my Wii already... Is this loading the games from USB, SD, DVDR? What? The link is VERY light on information.

In the video, it appears that he's showing that his Wii does not have a disc drive and that he has a USB hard drive connected.

Some people think that he is using the SNEEK tool that he developed to do the GC USB loading.

I really hope a Gamecube HDD loader is released. It would be nice to play multi disc games without having to pop them out of the drive. It would also be nice to be able to select games from a menu instead of thumbing through a stack of GC game boxes instead.

. It would also be nice to be able to select games from a menu instead of thumbing through a stack of GC game boxes instead.

I totally agree. I have something like 70 GC games that I would like to put away. Even with original media, I still get occasional DREs for some of the games. Very annoying.

You can put GC games on a hard drive if you get the WODE or the SunDrive. I have been thinking about this option for awhile but didn't pull the trigger yet. Hopefully this concept becomes reality thereby saving me ~$150 (WODE/SunDrive + hard drive).

Awesome. Lets me put those 50 cubegames on the shelf.
