And the GameCube compatibility of the Wii was just original GameCube hardware inside of the Wii doing all the work. Same with PS2 hardware inside the PS3.

Having dedicated hardware inside for compatibility is not uncommon

The wii is a Gamecube repackaged with some upgrades.

Yes and no. The latest released Wii (the Wii mini) lost GameCube compatibility due to hardware changes.

The wii mini lost GameCube support because the OS was stripped of anything that doesn't play wii games. It doesn't even have internet connectivity... iirc, homebrew added GameCube support. The cpu and gpu are exactly the same as the original wii.

That is great to known, I never had a Wii Mini and lot of the information on the web regarding this seem to be outdated or wrong. Last information I had was that backwards compatibility is completely missing with the mini. Thank you for clarification ☺️
