Freeloader

Freeloader is a bootdisc based solution developed by Datel to circumvent regional lockout on the Gamecube. It allows unmodified Gamecubes to play original out-of-region (import) titles. Datel sold different versions of Freeloader compatible for use with NTSC (USA, JPN) and PAL (EUR) Gamecubes.
