It says that if you put a gamecube game into your pal wii, eject the game and then put an NTSC game in, it will work.
Well, it's a bit more complicated, but the link will answer questions.

There was a thread about this ages ago. I'm not sure if nintendo have updated the firmware so it doesn't work now but when I tried it it definitely worked. It only works with Gamecube games. There's only two problems:
1: It's very tricky to pull off and you have to be very fast when doing it.
2: It's probably not very good for your disc drive.

Some games don't work using this trick but I found a way to get them working. You have to use this trick to get freeloader running (usually doesn't work on it's own). This will boot up freeloader with some fit inducing glitches but you can then load any GC gsme from freeloader. TBH it's more trouble than it's worth if you have a gamecube and freeloader.
