virtual gc mem card I don't want to have to buy a game cube memory card, but everyone says it's the only way to save games. what about a "hidden channel" that creates a virtual memory card for the console (or a home brew disc loader) to use.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,39798,39798#msg-39798Sun, 13 Sep 2026 14:14:53 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,39798,42775#msg-42775 Re: virtual gc mem cardhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,39798,42775#msg-42775

Plus (IIRC) no one has successfully patched a GC game or MIOS

I would say cMIOS counts as a patched MIOS]]> cactusjack901 Ideas, requestsMon, 02 Nov 2009 07:49:35 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,39798,39895#msg-39895 Re: virtual gc mem cardhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,39798,39895#msg-39895

Homebrew Disc Loader loads legitimate Wii games.....so, uh, thats not piracy. :P

Actually Homebrew Disc Loader loads homebrew which is burnt to a disc. It uses DVDx to do so. You're thinking of libwiigame, which loads an official game which is inserted.
Ah, yes, I was.

To acheive what etertay suggests I think one would have to launch the game in Wii mode, so no hardware locks out, then we'll have a problem with clock speed. The PPC processor will be of too high clock rate and some/all Gamecube games may not work due to this, so one would maybe need to find a way to change the clock rate. Then, we would need to patch the game to be able to use the NAND/SD card for game saves. But all of this is really hard and I bet it wont happen in the near future if ever.]]> profetylen Ideas, requestsSun, 01 Nov 2009 11:35:07 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,39798,39829#msg-39829 Re: virtual gc mem cardhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,39798,39829#msg-39829 metroid_maniac Ideas, requestsSun, 01 Nov 2009 10:45:56 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,39798,39823#msg-39823 Re: virtual gc mem cardhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,39798,39823#msg-39823Could we stop talking about this now?

The wii goes into a "GC Mode", doesn't it? All the wii hardware gets locked out when you run a GC game.

Correct. The Wii's NAND and all the other things that are not found in a game cube, are locked out.]]> TopGun96 Ideas, requestsSun, 01 Nov 2009 02:10:20 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,39798,39804#msg-39804 Re: virtual gc mem cardhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,39798,39804#msg-39804

Correct me if I am wrong but, wouldnt the game have to know to look on the NAND to find the save? Absolutely NO GC game can do this. (The gamecube has no NAND space for saves)
Yeah, thats what I thought too.
