Equipment you will need:
-a Wii w/ GC controller ports, can be a white or black Wii, just make sure it has GC ports
-Power cable, motion sensor bar, component cables, wiimote, and gamecube controller
-Internet connection
-2GB SD card (non SDHC) and a SD card reader for you PC
-USB or External HDD w/ at least 4GB of space (can be 2.0 or 3.0, doesn't matter)
-Not necessary but recommended is Skyward Sword

*A note to my speedrunners out there, running GC games straight from a SD card and running straight through Devolution rather than USB Loader GX will give you the fastest load times. I am using this card: amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-UHS-I-Memory-SDSDUN4-0…
