WiiRD / GeckoOS - Region Free Gaming on Wii

[wraggster]

Nuke (http://www.usbgecko.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2059) is back with new version of gecko the region free game loader for the Nintendo Wii:


Gecko0S - First public beta for WiiRD / Region Free.

This is the first public beta to allow people to try out WiiRD (Wii Remote Debugger). It also has a new Gecko Region Free engine which will boot nearly all games, even from the homebrew channel.

SD card features and USB Gecko client commands are disabled in the version as they are unfinished but I wanted to release a version of WiiRD / GeckoRF engine due to large amount of requests and the fact Gecko RF 1.5 had too many bugs :)

The package comes as a app which can be launched with the homebrew channel, also a DOL file is included if you want to make trucha based DVDs or custom channels.

The region free settings can be set in the config menu if your just using the app for region free, or if using WiiRD this information will be stored in its config file.

WiiRD is a game hackers dream app, with a large number of cool tools you can use. The official website for it is http://wiird.l0nk.org/wp/

YES!

if it will boot SSBB, then i can finally update to 3.3:)

anyone tried this with SSBB?, i don't have the time to try it yet, i will tomorrow though:)

EDIT: yaay! it finally works with SSBB!:)
i used the VideoTV (or something:p) patch without any other patch and it works flawless:)

it doesn't give a codedump screen anymore if it fails to boot a game, it says something about No DVD, so you don't have to hard reset anymore:)

So can this be used without a Gecko? Can I use this just as software via the HBC to load my US copy of Brawl on my PAL wii? ...if so then thats ideal! :thumbup:

yeah, it works just great, i don't have a gecko.

i have a PAL wii with NTSC-U version of SSBB and it works just great:)

So, what can I use this for, other than region free, which I have no use for?
