The Virtual Console and GameCube games are region locked on the Wii too... which probably means that we'll not be seeing any previously Japanese-only games in other regions. But there's a Wii action replay coming out I think, and that might bypass it... I don't know if they still do that anymore. -------------------- [ I am Black Squirrel, read about me \| Blog Squirrel \| The Obscure Ripping Project ] [ SHPDMBGWL4 \| Super MFGG War \| Player Adventure ]

Wii homebrew is currently not possible. HOWEVER, a simple modchip that will allow you to run backups - even games from other regions - is not only confirmed possible, but the people who made XenoGC are currently creating it!

While the most up to date version of the Freeloader disc for the Gamecube will let you play other region's GCN games inside of your Wii, a Wii import enabler does not yet exist. The primary concern with all the manufacturers of these products, is that because of WiiConnect24, Nintendo can issue a small update to your Wii hardware online, much faster than the disc manufacturers can pump out new code to get around it. --------------------
