GCOS on Wii - Region Free GC Mode :)

edit: changed title as it should work on both mods.

GCOS Special Version for Wiinja Modchip

What's it do?:
Boots all region Gamecube games (original or legal backups)
Explore ISO9660 discs up to 4.7gb(?) and launch DOL/ELF

How to:
Insert this disc into your Wiinja'd Wii and boot it.
Eject it and put in your favourite GC game and boot!

Requirements:
Wii
Wiinja
GC Game

Websites:
www.gamecubeos.com
www.wiinja.com

Tested by Wiinja owner, so it does work.

Source included but to get it working I wrote a pre-loader which i'm not going to post here due to it being a bit hard to work and all i would get is non-stop questions. Basically, the GPL'd code is all here for peeps to modify later on etc if they discover anything new.

Heho emu!

Is there possibly a chance to get the Wii Region Free in Wii-Backups?

Nope, not even going to bother trying.

Mhh.. well.. In the Gamecube mode where you start the GC-Homebrew (GCOS) it's not possible to start the special functions of the Wii, right? That should be the only problem, shouldn't be?

You can Burn GCOS on a normal-sized DVD. It should be no problem. Its the same as the gc backups. They were also only 1,4gb big and were able to get working on the gamecube.

The Wiinja just sends data to the Wii's DVD-ROM. It tells the drive that it has already checked the copy protection. So the Wii's DVD-ROM skips the copy protection parts of its code and loads up the game.

The Wiinja can not communicate with other parts of the Wii, so it can not run code stored on itself.

No, it's not. You can run homebrew but not backups

Looks like things will have to be stream fixed if the mod doesn't support it, but I think GCOS can work it out.
