Well, this is pretty neat.

Too bad the guy who made this doesn't seem to be interested in releasing it.

I'm aware of apps that exist to clone the System Menu and/or remove otherwise default Channels, but it seems odd to me that their System Menu would feature ABSOLUTELY NOTHING other than the disc.  Much less that whatever disc they're loading this off of is read as a GCN disc.

Title: Great News~ (Mario Kart Arcade GP 1 & 2 running on Wii Hardware.)

Great news everyone~

QuadForce wad, a Triforce Arcade file you install into your NAND, is available "out there" (sorry guys, google it), and it's so super-easy to install, that even my boyfriend was able to do it. >U<

Simply, all you need to do, is install it with WAD Manager (1.7 in most cases), then convert both the Arcade GP ISOs with DiscEX software on your computer (drag-n-drop). By default, the converted folder+iso will show up in C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username\

Drag the folders (they will have a game ID as their name) into SD:\games\ and then your golden~ ^u^ You start your ISOs with DML Booter (or Dios Mios Booter) loader. It's a boot.dol file that you place into any folder you created, which in turns "must" be thrown into your apps folder on the SD card or USB Drive. Then just run it with Homebrew Channel and have fun with Arcade goodness nya~ :cookie:

Just in case, it would be a good idea to have a Wii or Gamecube disc in your DVD drive before starting a ISO, or you "might" stumble into a black or green screen. ^^;

There's a drawback to this (which Akira and I experimented with). Gamecube discs won't play anymore unless you install a MIOS of your choice into the Wii again. The Easy-Mode solution for this is to use Manual Installation with PimpMyWii homebrew, then scroll through your list of IOS files (+ or - button) until you find MIOS. Install it again and Gamecube disc functionality will come back.

Oh, so you want to actually play Gamecube ISOs with your SD Card now? Not a problem~ Do the same things you did with DiscEX on your PC, then drag your chosen ISOs to your games folder in your SD Card. There's a difference here tho. You must install a Dios Mios Lite wad into the Wii if you want them to work.

Hopefully there will be F-Zero AX functionality in the future~ :3

What is Triforce Arcade?

An arcade cabinet, a joint-project between Nintendo, Namco and Sega, that played Nintendo's arcade games, running on Gamecube hardware.

Two of them being Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP2, and another game was F-Zero AX.

Hmm... so if I already have DML installed on my Wii, then I still have to install the Quadforce WAD? I mean, I also have DiscEX ready to convert the ISOs, just asking if I also need that.

Which I'm sure I do (just confirming this)
Title: F-Zero AX finally playable in your own home. Just not how you expected.

Felt it was necessary to bump this thread. Since this became relevant.

Turns out, we have had AX right under our noses.
