Wii's GameCube region lock busted

[thelocaluk]

Some chap has figured a way to hack the region lock on the Wii so that you can play NTSC Gamecube games on a PAL system.Seems pretty simple to do, check out the full story here: PALGN.com (http://palgn.com.au/article.php?id=6816&sid=f915e52d755018addcd3a114de85ab0b&title=Wiis+Gamecube+region+lock+busted)

Nice little tip, although i doubt i'll be buying any imported GC games to be honest bit still it's better than modifing your wii.

agree with tom, i don't own any and don't plan to buy any so i don't need it, but nifty little trick.

Pretty useful trick!
Will try it myself when I get my Wii!

Already have the Freeloader disc anyway.

that's so great! I don't think I'll try it if I mess it up it might be hard to get another wii for quite some time!

if trying this you should always refer to the warnings in the instruction manual
