Unable to read disc error

1 Gather up any GameCube controllers that you want to use with your Wii.

2 Open up the top of your Wii. If you unhook the latch on the very top of the system there should be a sort of secret compartment that holds four controller ports and two memory card slots.

3 Plug your GameCube controller into the ports located in the top of the Wii. If you're plugging in more than one, don't worry about attaching them in any particular order.

4 Load any GameCube memory cards that you would like to use into the memory card slots located next to the controller ports on top of the Wii.

5 Feed the GameCube game you would like to play into the disc slot on the Wii

I have the same problem. The Wii has a better lazer eye on it that can read through more scratches and gunk and smudges and stuff than a gamecube. The gamecubes lazer is alot weaker and more touchy and more likely not to play a scratched disc than a Wii would..

I can only presume that the discs are faulty, just that your relative has a better/newer/cleaner laser to read them. I can't see any other real reason why it would be limited to one brand. The only sure way would be to buy a brand new EA game and test that i suppose. None of the software in the Wii works to limit a brand. Has your Wii been modified?

Yes you can play gamecube games with no emulators. The memory card slots and controller ports are located on top.
