    Question Wii running GC imports - swap trick?

    Hi all, lots of questions tonight.

    Got my Wii back chipped today and thought GC imports would run straight out of the box - they don't

    Any idea of the swap method I might need to use with my chip to get them running?

    Cheers all

    the best thing to do would be to iso up your games and build a gc multigame disk using emu_kidids excellent app, once you have one of these on disk you can also use it as a swap disk to boot any imports you have on disk already.

    theres a thread here over on max console : http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=53005

    We got these chipped in bulk @ work from 'a guy'.

    My colleagues are after the swap trick method rather than burn a multi disk - any more ideas?

    just make a multidisk with a few games, once you have that it will work as a swap disk aswell as booting those games on the disk. There may be a way to burn the disk with no games at all on it, then it would be purely a swap disk but it seems a bit of a waste since you have 4.36gig of space to play with, a deluxe swap disk!

    If you dont fancy making your own, theres some predone on merlins-portal (nzb) any of those will do the trick.

    I downloaded the wiinja region free disk and it works with my cyclowiz a treat. Spent all weekend playing Mario Party 7 (US) with no problems at all.

    It's only a tiny download too...
