If you’re one of the many gamers that bought an imported GameCube™ console and you now want to play games from your own country, then FreeLoader is also ideal for this task. Whichever way you use FreeLoader, no modifications to your console are needed and your console’s warranty is kept intact.

Wonderful I've heard this item is great, my friend owns the Wii one. I already ordered this and Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4, and I can't wait to try it out!
Only on Gamecube While the new Wii Firmware Update rendered it useless on the Wii, it still works perfectly fine on the Gamecube.

Be very careful If you intend to use this to play import GC on a Wii, don't.
Nintendo's most recent firmware update has broken freeloader use on the system. Product still works great if you use it on an old GC.
i am sad last night without know what happened, i updated my wii, and just found i couldn't use the freeloader anymore. I wasn't too sad though because i had a gamecube and had it since 2005. I checked the bottom of it and it said DOL 101! I froze! I was so sad when i found out i can't use the freeloader, i want to play Battle Stadium D.O.N. soooooooooo bad.
No Longer Wii Compatible Buyer Beware! As of today, 8/7/2007, the newest Wii online update will no longer allow this freeloader to work on the wii. Thus, it is only compatible with the gamecube (which obviously it still works good for). A sad day for the freeloader indeed.
Action Replay For just $5 more, you could buy the Action Replay, also by Datel, and the AR has FreeLoader built into it. This is only usefull if your on a $25 buget.

Freakin Sweet!!!!!!!!!! When i saw the games battle stadium and naruto, i want them so bad. i thought i would to buy a japanese gamecube, but with the freeloader, it's freakin sweet!!!!!!!!!!! 5 stars!
Free loader I love the freeloader it's so cool and very easy to use but I can't wait till Datel comes out with the freeloader for the Wii and Datel please hear me out and make a freeloader for the PS2 I have lots of unopened Import games and I wish to play them one day.
pretty neat thing This free loader is he best way to play any region games on any gamecube system. Im still waiting for the free loader own the wii because i have the knew bleach game on th wii and i cant play it yet.

freeloader this is the best thing ever!!! and it works great for my naruto gekitou ninja taisen 4
No title Lets just hope datel can make a freeloader for wii. This is nice but not worth it becuase I already have the last version which works fine on the gamecube. If you need a freeloader and never have gotten one then this is a good thing for you.
An inexpensive (and great) way to play import GameCube games. If you're looking to play import GameCube titles on your GameCube (or Wii) and don't necessarily want to purchase an import GameCube console, then the purchase and use of Datel's excellent FreeLoader is pretty much your only alternative. It's easily affordable, and doesn't void your console's warranty. All you need to do is place the disc in your console, then remove it and insert the import GameCube game you wish to play and it loads up. Simple, easy, and cheap. Can't get much better than that.

No title freeloader is awsome. Now I don't have to wait for the american version of Naruto....that is if it is releasing here. Naruto 2,3,4 all work well. Only problem is I can't read Japanese.
opalpikachu13(15) on 08, Sep. 2006 02:09 (HKT)
Works very well! Just got this today with my Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4, and it works like a charm! It converted my US Gamecube to Universal, which means with this disc, it can play anything! Very cheaper than buying a Japanese Gamecube! Thanks Play-asia! You're the best!
cvei1(1) on 07, Sep. 2006 17:11 (HKT)
The Key to International Gaming! Works beautifully with the 3 Narutos my cousin sent me from Japan and takes only a few seconds to convert my Aussie PAL GC to Japanese NTSC format! Took only 7 days to arrive to boot! Play Asia, you rock my world!
suramie2002(13) on 20, Aug. 2006 07:42 (HKT)
Finally!!! Got Mine in 9 days in PERFECT condition!! Thanks Play-Asia!!!
suramie2002(13) on 16, Aug. 2006 09:43 (HKT)
(Twitch Twitch) Still Waiting on the Freeloader to come to it's new home!! I ordered it last week and Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen 3 but they haven't come yet. Must retain myself.....MUST PLAY!! (I Heard great things about the Freeloader on Naruto Sites! They say just put it in and it will quickly ask: US JAP or PAL!! It's really fast and cheap too) (Play Asia is probably the best place to get import games and stuff. Everywhere I go Play Asia has a good word.)
suramie2002(13) on 09, Aug. 2006 07:41 (HKT)
Nice!! I'm gonna play Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen 3 on this!!!
Hope It Works!
Answer: Yes it does

I live in Europe, Portugal and Paper Mario 2 will never COME OUT HERE because here the GCube has fallen, AND NOW i have that game, and with this simple GC disk, I CAN PLAY EVERY IMPORT IN THE WORLD!

good product Easy to use, affordable, and it opens completely new gaming doors to everyone around the world.
Garrod(8) on 13, Mar. 2006 23:04 (HKT)
Must Get! The freeloader is a dream come true for me, now I am able to play any import on the gamecube. It is so easy to use, and its cheaper and safer then trying to Mod your cube. I got mine in five days, Thanks, Play asia for making me into an international gamer so easily!
teknangel(7) on 15, Feb. 2006 14:37 (HKT)
I love imports! this import enabler is great. just pop in your gamecube and then put in your game and you're set. now i can play all my imports with no problem.
mateu_asecas(3) on 15, Feb. 2006 03:02 (HKT)
The Best! Simply, if you have a GameCube you must have one Freeloader. You will never repent to buy it.
NetDiver(4) on 19, Jan. 2006 19:03 (HKT)
Works like a dream! Recommended for anyone who wants to play imported japanese or US games in Europe. Extremely easy to use and haven't encountered any problems with any of my games on my PAL-GCube. If your playing japanese and US/PAL games, I recommend buying own memory card for japanese game saves as saving japanese games will wipe any PAL/US data from the card.
amethyst-angel(3) on 05, Jan. 2006 21:21 (HKT)
Great for imports It works great, and it's very easy to use!! A must buy for fans of imports!!
However, have a second memory card handy. If you try and use your memory card with save data of games from your own country on it, that data will be erased and replaced by the import game's data, so beware!!
Otherwise, an awesome product. Get it!!
Leonardo Correa on 31, Dec. 2005 08:41 (HKT)
hell yeah thank god datel came out with this freeloader now i can play all my naruto games forever.
NARUTO FAN #1 FOREVER

I can finally play one of my most favorite games!!! It can be a little tricky to use, but use read the simple instructions included with the Free Loader and it's all good! This is AWESOME!!! I highly recommend it!
Newnie(2) on 20, Sep. 2005 09:51 (HKT)
Pretty Good I Just Got my copy today and it came earlier than i expected. It basicly made me smile because it came in that nice golden airmail paper........Ahhhhhh..........Anyway you need this if you wanna get into Import Games quickly.
garethblayney(1) on 13, Sep. 2005 11:14 (HKT)
Just but it... ...enough said. Essential purchase for any GameCube owner.
benyart(2) on 10, Sep. 2005 00:55 (HKT)
You need this. With this little disc I have the power to play any GC game ever made. A must have for any serious gamer.

slaughterx(7) on 08, Aug. 2005 09:19 (HKT)
Don't Buy This, Get An Action Replay... It comes bundled with this software, it's a much better deal...
seanyboy3(1) on 30, Jun. 2005 10:40 (HKT)
Great Investment!! Best buy Ive made for the cube!! The game range in Australia for the gamecube is farily limited so I was quite intrigued to hear about free loader. After buying a copy I can now import all the best games from over the world and play them on my box at home! Great buy! Highly recommended!!!
kawaii_kuma(10) on 21, May. 2005 12:22 (HKT)

konstantin_usagi7(1) on 19, Apr. 2005 21:43 (HKT)
It's cool! To be honest, when I first placed the order on Play-Asia, I had my doubts....But, the thing is, that the guys (and gals!) working there are really great! My freeloader was delivered to my doorstep (literally!), at a great price and everything is working perfectly!! Plus, I got a discount coupon 4 my next purchase which I'm planning on using very soon!!
Thanx guys!
Loiri(1) on 10, Mar. 2005 03:02 (HKT)
