−If you own a [[USB Gecko]] it will install a remote debugger and screenshot engine into memory and will hook. This means you can load Gecko Tool version included and grab screen shots and use the remote debugger in any Wii game. This is all done on the fly and silently. Users without a [[USB Gecko]], the remote debugger and screenshot engine is just ignored and has no effect on your game play!.

−Gecko OS/Gecko Region Free was created with the homebrew [[libogc]] library. No certs, TMD, Tik, keys or other Nintendo copyright material were used or attached in the file, making it a pure homebrew release. No Datel code was used either, so please don't call this a clone etc as this and [[Freeloader]] work in completely different ways.

−Please note I take 'no' responsibility for the use of this software, If a game doesn't work you can report this in the [[USB Gecko]] forums, and I will try to fix it for the next release. It has worked on all games I've tried however I can not afford to buy all games so will need beta testers :)
