Playing GameCube Games on Wii: How to Insert Discs Correctly

Yes, the original Wii (RVL-001) plays GameCube discs natively. Here's how:

1. Insert GameCube Disc: Place disc label-up into the vertical slot (same slot as Wii discs). Wii pulls it in.
2. GameCube Controller: Plug into Port 1 (under front flap). WaveBird wireless works.
3. GameCube Memory Card: Insert into Slot A (beside controller ports) to save.
4. Start: Game appears as a channel on Wii Menu. Select to play.

Notes

• Wii Family Edition (RVL-101) & Wii Mini: No GameCube support (no ports, no backward compat).
• Region Lock: Wii plays GC games of same region only.
• No Upscaling: Outputs 480p max (component cable) or 480i (composite).
