Datel DUS0264-I Nintendo Wii Free Loader

Although the Wii Freeloader works differently than the one for Gamecube in terms of how it loads on the screen, I was relieved that it worked for the game I bought to play with it even though there is a relatively short list of games that do not work with the freeloader (Source: Wikipedia). It even played an import gamecube game I had when I still played with the gamecube. Even though the Gamecube Freeloader states that it works on the Wii for gamecube games, I still keep getting the error message (Based on how it worked for me). It would have been a waste if I could not play with the import gamecube game anymore. Fortunately, the Wii Freeloader solved that problem and added a great Wii game for my collection. Also, I was worried about Wii firmware 3.3, which blocks the Freeloader. I do not know if that is something included with Wii that came out in stores when Wii firmware 3.3 was out or something you can update on the Wii by yourself. When I got the Wii, I started playing games and barely messed with it in terms of updating it.

Worked the first time, but I unwittingly allowed an online update to the Wii...doesn't work anymore

Freeloader states that they only work with certain firmware builds and below. Unfortunately, this is not in big bold letters and somehow I missed it. Thirty-five dollars down the drain! They should offer support to their customers should they come up with an algorithm to work with versions above 3.2. Can I get my money back?

I put it in my Wii and it will no longer read ANY discs. Not Wii or Gamecube. I can still use the apps I downloaded like Netflix, and play VC games, but this Freeloader bricked my console, so I'm going to have to get it fixed or buy a new one.

This disc did not work. It only gave me error messages and told me to turn off the Wii and try reloading it. Then the same thing happened again. Just happy it did not damage the existing system.

My son has enjoyed using this product to play Japanese games on his Wii. He has had a lot of fun with the one game he has and is looking forward to getting more for Christmas. He really gets a kick out of playing games not to be released in the US for ages!

I bought this for my daughter. It won't even load. I do not recommend buying this piece of junk. It was a waste of money.

You came through when I most needed it! My nephews got the games by Christmas. You were like Santa Claus
