I've been doing a bunch of reading online and apparently some mod chips may make the Korean Wii backward compatible.

If someone who has a modded Korean Wii would give it a try, we'd know. Wink

I did a search on Naver and got some videos of what I think are Gamecube games being loaded on a Korean Wii.

Well, I am sure that there are mods being done to do it.. but am not convinced that it is mainstream. I believe it involves modified homebrew and the d2pro chip. I have a Canadian wii, so no way i can check it out

Some brave korean wii user Wink
