So I want to play imports without Gecko

Because I don't want to boot the HBC up each time I play Xenoblade come September. Are there any alternative methods that I could use that allows imports to boot up freely from the disc channel?

You can patch System Menu with StartPatch or Priiloader.

It's my understanding that an error in StartPatch causes the Region Free option to break Gamecube compatibility. Is this still a problem, SifJar?

No idea. I hadn't heard of that, and I have never used the tool myself. Nor have I ever played a gamecube game.

Okay so I installed Startpatch(and grabbed Gecko in the event that Startpatch fails me), so now I'm wondering this;

For those of you that have imported Wii games, have you had any luck playing on standard definition TVs with the basic composite cables using either of these options?

I have had nothing but trouble trying to play PAL games on old TVs using the composite cable. Gecko didn't work, so I had to use {removed} (hopefully it's okay to mention that app here).

No, it isn't. Please don't again.

Startpatch question
Does it force NTSC?

You could try Tinyloader, its alot faster but I don't think it forces NTSC.

I have both installed just incase one does work on certain games.
