Wii64 in Gamecube mode on Wii
Hey fellas, I'm sure I'm being retarded here, but... can Wii64 be launched on a Wii in Gamecube mode? I've searched around and I can't find any info.
The reason I ask is because of better performance.
I currently run Cube64 through SDML on a Wii with Drivekey 2.0. on the 4.3 firmware.
I have no clue how emulators work, so I thought I'd ask the pros.
And a big up for all those involved in creating these great emulators! It makes it easier when I had to store my original game systems this past weekend. *sheds tear*

You can't run Wii64 on a Wii in Gamecube mode, but you can certainly run (as you have been) Cube64 on a Wii in Gamecube mode.
There is no advantage of running Cube64 in Gamecube mode on a Wii, in fact, you're missing out on a lot by not running Wii64 in Wii mode as intended!

Re: Wii64 in Gamecube mode on Wii
Thanks for the reply emu_kidid. That's what I figured. Do you know how to launch emulators via DVD through a drivekey or the like hardmodded? There is seriously nothing I can find on the InterWebs.
I've seen emu ISOs for Wii. But unsure how they work. I'm guessing this is how I can get Wii64 working.

You haven't heard about the Homebrew channel? http://hbc.hackmii.com/

Re: Wii64 in Gamecube mode on Wii
HA! Fo sho! I just want to keep my original OS intact. I've always been a fan of hardmod and exploits that don't rewrite code. I don't have the loot to replace a system after I brick it from being retarded. Thanks for your replies.
Re: Wii64 in Gamecube mode on Wii
Believe me, the homebrew channel modifies zero code on your system, and it's easy to delete it afterwards. It only adds a custom channel, with an exploit. Nothing is patched in any way, it simply can't go wrong.

You're right! Installing the HBC is basically the easiest thing in the world And it's really a great tool!KirovAir wrote:Believe me, the homebrew channel modifies zero code on your system, and it's easy to delete it afterwards.

Wouldn't know what to do with a wii without it... (except from playing games ^^)

Re: Wii64 in Gamecube mode on Wii
Thanks for the input fellas.
I kicked around the question HBC or hardmod for awhile and chose a chip. I didn't want to screw around with softmod upgrades/downgrades and the like since I'm on 4.3u firmware. So I just went with a Drivekey and have SDML. Good enough for what I need.
For the N64 games, I did a work around with injected ROMs into a Zelda exploit and running GCM files through SD-Boot. This works fine for me without much extra work and has minimal to zero slowdown on the games I'm running.
Sorry, a little off topic.
Cheers

Re: Wii64 in Gamecube mode on Wii
No problem, just want to remind you again that you're missing out on a lot without the homebrew channel!
Re: Wii64 in Gamecube mode on Wii
And there is no 'or' with a modchip. Both work very fine together. With the homebrew channel there is also no downgrade needed or anything like that.
But jeah, it's your Wii so your decision.
