It supports both US and Japanese games on a PAL GameCube, offering a fast and user-friendly experience. Note: A PAL- and NTSC-compatible TV is required for optimal performance. ## Description Product Description Play GameCube games from anywhere in the world using the FreeLoader, a GameCube-sized disc that lets you load and play import GameCube games without modifying your console (so your warranty is kept intact). It's fast and easy to use--just load the FreeLoader disc, then replace it with your chosen game when prompted. Important note for customers intending to use the Freeloader to play games imported from Japan: It's not possible to save both Japanese and UK/US game data on one memory card; if you try to use your existing memory card with Japanese games it will automatically be reformatted. Likewise, if you try to save UK/US game data onto a memory card which contains Japanese game data, the card will be reformatted. Therefore, if you intend to play Japanese games with your Freeloader, you should use separate memory cards for UK/US game data and Japanese game data, making sure you remove the other card from the console before play. If you do not intend to play Japanese games then you should not be affected, as there are no known issues regarding saving US and UK game data onto the same card. .co.uk Review Tired of having to wait months for games to get released in the UK? Angry that some games don't get released here at all? Datel's FreeLoader could be your gateway to import heaven. It looks like an ordinary GameCube disc but once you stick it in your machine you'll instantly be able to play any game from any country in the world. It allows you to play US and Japanese games on your UK GameCube without having to get your console "chipped" or make any physical changes to it whatsoever. You just pop the FreeLoader disc in, then replace it with the game you want to play at the prompt and you're away. What's more, if you were impatient enough to buy a US or Japanese GameCube then the FreeLoader will now enable you to play UK published games on your machine as well. Sounds too good to be true? Well, there are a couple of catches, but they're only minor. Although all current games work with the disc there's the possibility that future ones won't. However, as long as you keep an eye on Datel's Web site you can find out about new versions of the disc to make sure you're as up-to-date as possible. Also, you'll need to use separate memory cards for Japanese and UK/US game data (see the product description below for more information). Oh, and you'll need at least a moderately new telly that can handle 60Hz and NTSC signals, but that really is it. Get FreeLoader and embrace the world of international gaming. --David Jenkins ## Features - Launch and play import GameCube games - No need to modify your console--keeps your warranty intact - Play US and Japanese games on a PAL GameCube - Fast and easy to use - PAL- and NTSC-compatible TV required - If you intend to play Japanese games please see the Product Description below for important information regarding memory card data ## Images ![Datel FreeLoader (GameCube/Wii) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rYatf4vRL.jpg) ![Datel FreeLoader (GameCube/Wii) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rYatf4vRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Time to import cheap games! *by V***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 December 2012* Have you ever wanted to dig out your old GameCube and think to yourself about all those games you never got a chance to play? But when you look them up you find all the copies that'll play on your GameCube are really expensive? Good news! Now you can import cheap US copies and play them on your PAL region console!The FreeLoader really is a retro gamer's dream come true. PAL region GC games are expensive, and some of them are pretty rare. A copy of Twilight Princess will set you back $60-$90. Metroid Prime will cost you $30. I felt really jealous of the US when I was looking around eBay for old GC games that I never got a chance to play. See, the US has a very well established retro video games industry that does very well buying and selling old games and classic consoles, Australia, sadly, does not. And I don't imagine the UK does either. As a result older video games within PAL region countries have been mostly snatched up by collectors who aren't going to part with their near mint copy of Zelda Windwaker without getting a large sum of money in exchange. Thankfully some clever people designed and made the FreeLoader!I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I have theories, but I wont go into it here. All you need to know is this, it works easily and quickly on my GameCube, and from what I've seen it's almost completely compatible with all titles on the GC. I hear it has some problem running GC games on the Wii, but I believe that you can only play a GC title on the console itself, not a backwards compatible next gen console.If you want to get some cheap US games to play, get one of these disks! You wont regret it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Scared but it worked *by B***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2014* I was a little nervous when I first ordered this Freeloader incase it didn't work or it was too much hassle to use every-time I played imported games, but thankfully it works fine and is very quick.The freeloader just requires you to put it in your console for about 10-15 seconds, then you can just take it out and play any imported game you want! Note for games with updates you'll need to insert it twice.I know it might be a bit obvious, but make sure you have your TVi set to 60hz to play the games. I never thought of it when I couldn't get my game to play at first... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Works okay with my Wii. *by N***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 November 2014* I like to import games as some are only aviable somewhere else than in the pal region or too expencive in it. This one fixes the problems. It does not work if you start up the Wii with it inside, so you have to turn it on, wait a while, and then put it in. It's not always it works, but then you have to turn off the Wii, take it out the disc and try again. Could've been easier to use, but I've come far in my NTSC games so I'm very happy with it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/48293302-datel-freeloader-gamecube-wii](https://www.desertcart.at/products/48293302-datel-freeloader-gamecube-wii) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
