Hey,

I just got my SD Gecko and wonder what I can do with it.

I bought it so I can save games from emus (i still dont know how that is going to work), but I wonder if I can do anything more with it.

Well provide me with cool links, thanks.

For started you can rip games directly to your SD card via the wii gecko and boot disc. You can prolly do this with any chip, I use WiiKey

You can do lots of things with Gecko adapters!

I personally use USB Gecko which is better and really easy to transfer backups and gamecube saves to pc. Got it from Adictron
They offer nice price with worldwide shipping and have in stock both SD Gecko and USB Gecko.

What can you do with SD Gecko? I think the proper question would be what can't you do with it?

You can:

-Play emulators with roms and saves stored in the SD card: Tehskeen

Which emulators? Atari, NES, SNES, Master System, Game Gear, Genesis, GameBoy- GB Color- GBA, Scumm, PCE, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo CD, MAME, Nintendo 64, etc

-Play GameCube backups stored in SD cards: SD-Boot

-Play homebrew games and other scene applications as bioses

-Manage saves to pc (though this fails sometimes): mcbackup

-Rip backups: sd-dvd

etc

You can use Gecko products with a moded GameCube or a moded Wii.

You can also use them with an unmoded GC/Wii through SD Gecko + Action Replay method: AR + SD Gecko
And seems that is in the work a way to play them on Wii only with the aid of an original Zelda disc.

Thanks for the tips.

My favourite shop arround the corner also started to sell USB Gecko, I guess I ll get one of those too.

Wii homebrew scene is taking giant steps lately... I found a Wii homebrew game that turns your Wiimote into a vibrating dildo!!

And for people interested, you can get SD Gecko for 5€ at Adictron, and they offer worldwide shipping

PS

Someone sent me a PM asking how to use sd-dvd with USB Gecko. It have its own dumper through USB directly from Wii to your computer, so no need to use sd-dvd
