Nintendont is a Wii Homebrew Project that allows you to play your GameCube (GC) games on a Wii or vWii on Wii U.

This software allows you to easily access your GameCube game library and enjoy them on your Wii or Wii U without the need for a physical GameCube disc. It is a convenient solution for those who want to play their favorite GameCube games on their Wii or Wii U but no longer have access to the original discs.

Nintendont is an easy-to-use, efficient way to play your GameCube games on your Wii or Wii U.

Installation

To quickly install Nintendont, follow these steps:

1. Obtain the loader.dol file, rename it to boot.dol and place it in the /apps/Nintendont/ directory along with the meta.xml and icon.png files.
2. Copy your GameCube games to the /games/ directory. Subdirectories are optional for games in ISO/GCM and CISO format with one disc.
   1. For games with two discs, create a subdirectory named /games/MYGAME/ (where MYGAME can be anything), and name the first disc as "game.iso" and the second disc as "disc2.iso".
   2. For extracted FST format, the FST must be located in a subdirectory, for example, /games/FSTgame/sys/boot.bin.
3. Connect your storage device to your Wii or Wii U and launch The Homebrew Channel.
4. Select Nintendont to run the game.

Please note: Nintendont has almost 100% compatibility. You can find the compatibility list on the Wiki.
