USB Gecko (Type-C) debugging tool for GameCube/Wii

This is a debugging adapter for Nintendo Wii and GameCube, compatible with software and workflows designed for the original USB Gecko.

It connects a console to a computer through USB and can be used for homebrew development, debugging, memory access, code testing and other supported development tools. It is intended for users who work with Wii/GameCube homebrew, game research or console debugging.

Important: While this is not an official USB Gecko, it offers the same features and software compatibility. Unlike alternatives based on RP2040 boards, it uses the same FTDI parts as the original USB Gecko and does not rely on software emulation, which is the best way to maintain compatibility with legacy applications.

Features

• Convenience of a USB-C connector
• Multi-Platform Compatibility: Windows, Linux, and Mac
• Compatible with both GameCube and Wii
• Built-in LED, controlled from software
• Works as a generic Serial device
