Datel have finally released to retail the SD Media Launcher(1 Gig) For Nintendo Wii/GameCube. This Homebrew launcher for Wii lets you play all the latest Gamecube Homebrew on the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Gamecube including many emulators and Honebrew games and apps, all available here at Wii News (http://wii-news.dcemu.co.uk) and Gamecube Emulation (http://gcemu.dcemu.co.uk).

Heres the press info:

There's a wealth of really excellent home brew material out there for the GameCube, but how do you get it to run on your happening console? Our GameCube/Wii SD Media Launcher has the answer...

With GameCube/Wii SD Media Launcher, you can run all your home brew Cube software on an unmodified GameCube, or on a Nintendo Wii in GameCube Mode. All you need to do is download the program of your choice from one of the many web pages dedicated to amateur programming on the Cube (Google for 'GameCube home brew' to find dozens of sites). Drag and drop it onto the 1GB SD card supplied with the Media Launcher, then plug it into your Wii or GameCube. Launch the application CD on your console and the home brew program is run from there. Easy!

Everything you need is in the box. The pack includes a software CD, 1GB high-speed SD card, a USB SD card adapter and an SD media adapter to fit in your Cube's memory card slot.

Heres a Screen of the bits you get:

This is a great all in one solution for Homebrew on the Gamecube and Wii (excellent work Datel)

Buy from Divineo UK (http://www.divineo.co.uk/php/affstart.php?affcode=arboretum&prod=ds-dsdml) for £24.95 which is way cheaper than buying all the parts needed seperately.

Is that a picture of a DS game at the bottom? The description doesn't say anything about having one of those.

This is what I use to run homebrew on my Wii, very user friendly to use.

Just ordered one, now all I have to do is find out what Emus or GC Homebrew I can run, when I google for "Gamecube Homebrew" I get links to lots of sites advertising this product :)

Please note this is NOT a request for ROMs I don't need them, all I want is pointing at GC Homebrew and Emu sites.

Or advice about what Emus are running well.

Hey just a thought are there any SCUMM Emus for GC?

I'm planning on getting SD Media Launcher, so in the tutorial when it says to drag and drop the home brew, the SNES9X emu is an example? And is it the same with ROMs? Do I just drag and drop SNES ROMs onto the SD card and they'll automatically appear in some list on the SNES9X menu? And is this only compatible with the GameCube controller on the Wii or can it be played with the Wiimote/Nunchuk? Answers to these questions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Yes. The SD Launcher is merely intended to emulate in the GameCube mode on the Wii.

What he means is that there is no CG Emulator that runs on the Wii or GC. there are SNES NES Megadrive etc Emulators that run on the CG/Wii.

But not actual GC emulators, the GC runs in Hardware mode. why on earth would you need to emulate the GC on the GC (you're looking like the idiot) :D :p

I just ordered an SD Media Launcher 1GB and an Action Replay Gamecube :)

I know they're no longer compatible with the Wii :(, but I wanted the SD loader to use on my real GameCube console anyways, and using the AR on the Cube won't be an issue either.
