Hello,
Ok, It will be the first time to buy GameCube or Wii Console. I want to know some information first and then decide which one to buy. I want to play RE Zero, RE Remake & MGS Twin Snak So is possible to play this games GameCube Games on wii ?! And which Model have the ability to play it ?! Or just go and buy GameCube is better for me ?!
Best Regards,
Q8Xbox
yes it most certainly is! I would buy the wii, not only can it play original game cube games but mod chips like the wiikey fusion are rairly easy to install. the only downside is you need a game cube controller for most (if not all games). if you can spend the 10 bux at a used game stop for one. also you can mod both the wii and GC but modding the wii will also allow you to play game cube games. I highly reccomend the wiikey fusion, easy install and update. please let me know if i can help you any further. also the fusion works with all drive types, some are limited so google the wiikey fusion guide etc. do you know what chipset you have? this could help aid your decission as some new chipsets are not working with region free compatibility. message me if i can be of any help
sry to repost but once you mod your wii you can play GC with no problem and back up wii games plust both disc version.
Thanks you, So i all i have to do is to buy Wii does not matter which model to play GC backups, right ?!
Should i use Wiikey fusion or just softmod wii will be enough ?!
in my opinoin the wii with wiikey fusion is the best bet. you can play original wii games, original gc games. with the wiikey fusion you can load GC or Wii games from an sd card of your "back up games" depending on the chipset some option are disabled, after D2C i believe you cannot load backed up games to dvd, but the sd card is aweeesome! you can still play original games but if you "acquire backups" you can play them straight from dvd if you have an early chipset, if not all backups need to be played through the sd card but wiikey keeps up to date, prevents auto update and makes it easy. also updates can be obtained from their site. long story short the wii will do everything game cube will do and more, and both types of games can be played via sd card with the wiikey fusion. also, updates can be installed from an sd card and are quicker than the wasabi chip. i guess but the wii since it can do everything game cube can do and more. please let me know if i can help you with anything else
Just make sure the wii has gamecube support.
Thank you very much Mr. Patrick, Can i ask one more question. Why there is softmod if the mod chips is better ?!
Ok, Which Wii model have GameCube support ?!Quote:

In my opinoin hard mods and soft mods are very different. Some love soft mods because you can plug in an external hdd and load ur games on there and no extra hardware is usually required. i have heard the update process (u know when they say update or you cannot play the game?) the hard mod prevents updates while allowing you to play games, they update their firmware often to help this. soft mods can be quicker but the possibility of bricking your wii is scary if you're not used to modding. also a hard mod mods the dvd drive and is harder to detect. if you use a hardware mod you are safer and comes with safe updates. softmods can be really awesome at first i have found but anytime you mess with software i believe that it is much easier detected. the wiikey fusion was a 20 min install for my buddy who cant tell a disc drive from a motherboard. i am die hard hard mod fan but some prefer soft. i believe hardmod is safter, easily updatable and not having to to deal with the software issues of a softmod(even though it says you may bright your sytem, if you miss one step it may not brick but instead not function right. wiikey fusion is the obvious choice
its preference, soft mod can do more but if you plan on accessing online anything i would stay away it is easier to detect software mods than hard mods. hope this hleps
Softmod is free and works good
Newer wiis don't have gamecube support, just look for gc controls ports on the side.
Sorry but I don't agree with that you can play online just don't have cheats on. I play Mario Kart on line all the time. As far as updates install Priiloader to block them and you use this great site to great them.Quote:
