A major update for the Wii's GeckoOS! The homebrew is now combined with Ocarina, the stand-alone Wii(RD) code handler. Essentially, it acts as a GameShark for the Wii, letting you search for cheat codes stored in your SD card.

In case you're not familiar with GeckoOS, it's a program that lets you load Wii games from other regions. According to Nuke, author of GeckoOS, this is not a major release, but a lot of bugs have been fixed, and with its combination with Ocarina, you may still want to grab it though. Here's what's new and what's been fixed:

Things fixed.

• Gamecube Games / Imports now supported (thanks bushing!)
• Date and Time issue fixed in games like Wii Sports, Brawl.
• Glitching games fixed, i.e Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Metroid Prime 3 etc.
• Sound fixed in Twilight Princess when using Gecko OS, WiiRD
• SD Card bug fixed. Now you can still access the SD Card when using ocarina.
• Disabled Wiimote when going in GC mode to avoid battery drainage.

Added.

• Ocarina (thanks Link)
• Some Extra hook types.
• Turn Off and On Ocarina.
• Some backend features have been added.

Things to note:

• Ocarina just works as before, the codes need to be placed in the folder 'codes' on the SD card.
• Ocarina can be turned off in the config menu.
