Gecko OS v1.9

Gecko OS (formerly Gecko Region Free) by Nuke lets you load Wii games from other regions.

Instructions:
Load boot.elf from Chain Loader. Insert any Wii Game and press reset. Enjoy your region free gaming. As of beta 5, Gecko OS works correctly with the Homebrew Channel.

GeckoOS includes the latest version of the Region Free app, which works with the Homebrew Channel. The latest version has increased compatibility with more games supported and issues running US games on PAL consoles fixed.

Note that while GeckoOS will enable the US Rock Band to load on a non-US console the guitars and drum set will not work (no controller ID lights lit). To load Rock Band try Menu Loader instead.

Changelog
  • Added channel loading with hooks, channel menu supports same database.txt format as AnyTitle *Deleter MOD to replace the channel IDs with channel names (put database.txt at the root of the SD card)
  • Ocarina works on channels
  • ELF/DOL loading from geckoload now works
  • Optionally the directory data/gecko can contain the codes folder, patch folder, gameconfig.txt, config.dat, and background.png instead of the root of the SD card
  • GC memory cards are no longer detected as a USB Gecko
  • Changed how exit works; if a loader other than the homebrew channel was used (or an old version of the HBC) it will return to the system menu
  • Fixed a text overlapping bug that would happen if a disc error occurs and Ocarina is on
