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.

FreeLoader uses proprietary technology to enable your GameCube to play import games from any other region. Using FreeLoader you can now, for example, easily play U.S. games on a European GameCube console, or play Japanese games on a U.S. console.
If youre 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 consoles warranty is kept intact.
Not compatible with Wii 3.3... ...however, out of curiosity after updating it to 4.0, it began working again! (I put it in without accessing the Disc Channel first and the Gamecube logo appeared on the channel.) I've started it up several times, and it seems to have a 90% chance of booting up successfully!
I've been playing Nintendo Puzzle Collection on my Wii lately because of it! It's epic! I fully recommend it, Gamecube or Wii (though mostly Gamecube for those who want to play it safe)!
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.
