Hi everyone, I'm very new to Wii...

I picked up a system that has a WiiKey built in and it plays Wii games and backup games with no problems.

I have tried to play some VC games such as GameCube, etc. and they all get stuck on the Boot Screen which gives options such as "Boot DVD" or "Show Credits". I cannot move or select in these screens in order to start the game...

I thought I might need the Classic Controller to move/select, so I bought one, but that didn't help. Maybe I need to use a USB Keyboard?

I'm assuming I'm missing something simple...

TIA

Hmmm, tried a USB keyboard and even though it works with the Wii, it still does not allow me to move in VC games...

What exactly are you trying to do? Gamecube games are not virtual console games, and neither are roms run through homebrew emulators. Both gamecube games and emulators require a gamecube controller.

Hi penguin98,

Thanks for the reply.

I am using various discs - some are Game Cube, some are emulators with NES and SNES on them. They all get stuck on the same type of screen - a boot screen that gives options such as "Boot DVD" and "View Credits". However, I am unable to select anything with the controllers...

I thought that the Classic Controller would be enough for these games, no?

Maybe I should pick up a Game Cube controller...

You should have researched how to use the disc- would have saved you a lot of time.

What you are using is called GCOS- GameCube Operating System- thus you need to use a GC controller to move through the menus and play the roms (they are not Virtual Console games).

NDarkness,

Thanks for the reply. I did research beforehand, but I guess I didn't come up with the right info since I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking for...

Thanks for the info on the controller though...now I just have to find one :-)
