Play GameCube imports on PAL Wii without Modding

[i0n]

Here's a neat little trick that will allow you to boot up and play imported GameCube titles on your PAL Wii console. All you need is some quick button bashing and you're away.

The only tools you need are a PAL GC game and ofcourse an import title.

To do it, first insert the PAL GameCube game and enter the Disc Channel (the thumbnail you click on to run Wii/GC games). Once the Wii recognises the disc the GameCube logo will be displayed.

Now for the trick. Point your Wii Remote at the start button but DON'T start the game yet. Press the eject button then, a second or so later, click on the on-screen start button.

Now you have to be quick - the moment the Wii spits out the PAL disc quickly swap it for the NTSC game and it will boot up as normal.

Neat huh? Sadly i dont have any import GC games so i cant confirm whether or not this works, but judging by the feedback from others this is a sure fire trick.

Are there really that many games on the GC that people wanted to Play? I want a way to get Wii games/VC games from Japan.

I will be giving this a go when I actually get a PAL gamecube game. I have a couple NTSC gamecube games I brought with me from the states.
