Gamecube Games on vWii

Post by iAnn »

Automatically translated from French.

2026 update: this topic dates from 2013 and the tools have changed since. The up-to-date method is in our tutorial GameCube games on Wii and Wii U: Nintendont, the successor to DIOS MIOS.

Hello,

Is it possible to play GameCube games with Wiiflow on vWii?

Because I just learned that there is no GameCube controller and memory card port.

Is there a solution on wiiflow to work around this problem?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Sincerely,
iAnn

No :? Total incompatibility since all the GC hardware is absent. In emulation... maybe one day. Hope keeps us going :P

Thanks for your reply.

You confirm what I thought :(

That's a real shame. All that's left is to wait for emulators to develop and see if possible the GC virtual console or even remakes like The Wind Waker for example ;)

Recently with devolution or nintendont it's possible to play Gamecube games on vWii.
These have recently been updated to work on a Wii U via USB/SD.
The Gamecube controller can be used via a USB adapter, you can also use:

- A PS3/PS4 controller
- A Wii U Pro Controller
- A Wiimote + Classic Controller
- Any HUD-compatible controller.

The memory card is emulated and stored either on NAND, USB or SD.

These homebrews exist as plugins to integrate into WiiFlow/USB Loader GX for more convenience.

I recommend devolution which runs 100% of Gamecube games without any slowdown just like on a real Gamecube. However you'll need to dump your original games onto a hard drive or SD card with a Gamecube-compatible Wii, validate them there and then you can use your games on Wii U.
With devolution it's mandatory to own the Gamecube games you're going to launch on WiiU.

Otherwise with nintendont, this one reads your backup ISOs directly without needing to use a Gamecube-compatible Wii.
However there are big (very big) compatibility issues with games. Some are laggy or don't start...
But the advantage is that it's not necessary to have the originals.

I'm currently writing a tutorial about this.
I'm mainly going to focus on the Wii U by putting everything we currently know about it.

Hi, I saw Wiiflow 4.2.1's compatibility with Devolution / Nintendont on my wii (in the GC backup launch options)
But I have a small issue on the vWii of my Wii U, the Gamecube plugin is marked "**disabled**" when I try to access it :s what do I do?

Thank you
