Can someone with an OG Wii help me with my question? Chat GPT doesn't seem to clarify on this

If I want to play a Gamecube game on my OG Wii do I need the Wii remote or motion sensor bar at all to launch the game? Or will it automatically boot up if the disc is already in

I feel like you have to select the game when the disc is in

You’ll need the Wii remote. Such a s*** design flaw to not have the GameCube controller work on the start up screen

But can you select it with just the wii remote or do you need the sensor bar attached too

Ugh that's so annoying

So if I bring a Wii to a birthday party to play a Gamecube games I still need to bring the Wii remote/bar too?

you can use a classic controller to control the cursor (connected to your wiimote)

if you have homebrew on your wii, you can skip the wii menu and use a gamecube controller to navigate and launch your games.

otherwise, yes, you need the sensor bar or some candles/a lighter. in order to launch the game

Ok so instead of bringing the sensor bar you suggest I just bring the wii remote and classic controller?

Also how do download homebrew on my Wii

That actually works?

i did the str2hax method.

and yeah classic controller hooked up to the wiimote lets you control the cursor

What cracks me up is Chat GPT is telling me the classic controller can't control the home screen cursor which is so annoying how unreliable Chat GPT is
