FreeLoader GC doesn't work in our Wii

Despite a report to the contrary, we can't get the GameCube FreeLoader to work on a Wii. We've tried to use FreeLoader to play GameCube titles from other regions, but the sad, unrecognized-disc screen taunts us over and over.

We're using FreeLoader 1.06B -- alleged to be the right version by internet posters -- and a fully updated Wii (2.0U). We've tried inserting the disk when the Wii is off, then restarting. We've tried cleaning the disc. We've tried a special dance and blew in an NES cartridge slot as an offering, but nothing gets our FreeLoader started.

Datel told us that it doesn't yet have a Wii for testing and couldn't offer any more help. The company is also waiting for a Wii to determine if it can make a FreeLoader for Wii games.

Readers, have you gotten a GameCube FreeLoader working with a Wii? If so, how?

Maybe it was patched? Although I never understood why region locks mattered in the first place.

Money, thats why region locking is used. They what yew to pay full price for the game in your region, not get it half price from another region.
