Some of you out there will understand why you should be excited to hear that some brilliant soulhas devised a port of ScummVM for the Wii and GameCube, but in case you don't, lemme tell you: Monkey Island! Ok, ok, let me back up a bit. Scumm (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) is the language that runs classic LucasArts adventure games like Maniac Mansion (a-duh), Day of the Tentacle, and the aforementioned Secret of Monkey Island.

Here are the instructions for how to get ScummVM on your GameCube:

1. Copy the files in the archive to a folder named scummvm within your SD Card.
2. Copy any games supported by ScummVM to your SD Card.
3. Insert your SD Card adapter with the prepared SD Card into Slot A of the GameCube.
4. Run scummvm.dol either using SDLoad or any method of your choice.

Theoretically, the same thing would work plugging it into the GameCube memory card slots in a Wii, but not having tested it, I can't say for absolutely certain.
