the Virtual Wii can be hacked to play GC games.  that would be nice.  do you have links regarding it. or it isn't allowed here? :)

I'm sure you've already seen it, but the link is just above you

Apparently it doesn't support the WiiU Gamepad (maybe due to its wifi protocol?). So, bluetooth controllers and some USB ones - even WiiU's official gamecube adapter. Literally a Nintendon't controller mapping support xD

i only saw this link. it is the original Wii with the gamecube controller, and how to put it on the Wii.  My question was about Wii U having the virtual Wii to play GC games.  so technically a Wii U with a GC disc on it and homebrew'd or whatever type of hack people have done on a Wii U.
