      The Wii makes a much easier and better GameCube backup player, it's not even emulated and provides a means for cheap progressive scan. This is cool however, you have to physically alter a GameCube (something they're not making anymore) to make it.

      People lying instead of being honest is why Nintendo hasnt backed the hell off of people emulating old games that are too pricy or hard to find or dont have the system required to play their new shit. Nintendo has killed many a project that wouldve looked epic like Zelda OOT2D or Chrono Trigger on N64. Yet not Conkers High Rule Tail thank goodness. Pisses me off because people need to make Nintendo fear new and old customers and modders. Without retro game lovers they wouldnt be able to resell old shit of which they dont or cant put out half their games so were gonna play it somewhere. If Nintendo was boycotted for it or even attacked like youtube HQ was then they may just back the fuck off from people who have the skills to improve upon nintendos old IPs but Nintendo has gotten stupid unlike Sega who hired and glorified Sega game modders.

Much as I love video games by those companies Id be glad to see someone give em a threat they had to take seriously so they back off of modders and old games theyll never remake or remaster. If they changed the clause that says basically "if someone uses their IP and they do nothing then they lose the IP" then maybe theyd be less afraid but shit the things they pull are ridiculous.

    One Wii, one copy of Four Swords Adventures, four GameCubes, four Gameboy Advance to GameCube cables, for Gameboy players, four GameCube controllers, one Wiimote, and four Gameboy player discs.

      @@hexywesky Four Swords Adventures requires four Gameboy Advances with four link cables to play four player multiplayer but with a Gameboy Player on the bottom of a GameCube, it basically turns the GameCube into a Gameboy Advance. Thus, I run Four Swords Adventures from a Wii and connect the Gameboy-to-GameCube cables to the top of the Wii (running FSA for better output) and each one of the game GameCubes to its own individual screen. When you go into a house or a cave, you won't be staring at a tiny screen on your lap, you'll be looking to the left or right of the main screen toward your own individual TV. It really is a fantastic set-up with no noticeable latency compared to a Gameboy Advance.

      Maybe, but Nintendo has been finicky about that since the SNES.
      The N64 was technically superior to PS1, but used inferior cartridges compared to PS1's CDs. The GC was good on internal tech, terrible again on software because of mini discs 🤦. Wii was vastly underpowered, and Wii U provided no 3rd party support and was vastly underpowered compared to PS4/XB1.

    Great video Jon! I'm actually awaiting my own GCLoader Plug n Play (PnP) to get here. It's still in Indiana and that's pissing me off lmao. I also ordered an SD2SP2 for storing Swiss settings until that's sorted out in a future Swiss software update. I only have an oversized mSD card I can dedicate to it, but w/e.
    Now, to those of you saying "Why is this better than soft modding a Wii?": This mod isn't for everyone. It's for people that want to play their GCN games on OG/native hardware, whilst preserving their discs and preventing them from getting damaged. If you want to deal with the clonkyness of the Wii OS just to play some GameCube games, then so be it and you do you.
    To those of you comparing this to the Dolphin Emulator, also remember that you need a somewhat beefy PC to run games at playable frame rates, and even then not all games are compatible with it. The GCLoader is literally a 1:1 replacement for the DVD drive, and there's no emulation going on whatsoever, making compatibility basically 99.9999999%. I'm sure there's an oddball game out there that won't load up from anything but its original disc, but that's why you should also have a stock console if you want to play games like that. I'm personally going to be gifting this console to my brother with Super Smash Bros Melee (I own the actual disc and he was and somewhat still is super good at the game; tournament level at one point) and a handful of other games I physically own for Christmas. He won't know what's coming and I sort of owe it to him since he's done so much for me over the past few years. It's time to give back.
    Anyway once again, great video Jon! I hope I get my GCL PnP sooner than what my USPS tracking is telling me (ETA Friday of this week my ass)... since both my SD2SP2 and GCL PnP are coming from similar regions (IL and IN respectively).
