Pretty good work this should be helpful for people who didn't know about this. Nothing much to add to this except that there are many tutorials for this on the net and have been for quite some time(almost more than a year), seriously man even the link you posted has a tut in it

Well yeah it could certainly diversify the number of games you could play, vc is still pretty limited but seriously emulators are much better suited for pc's and maybe handheld consoles like on the psp

no tuttorial u cant find anything on the net for this but i just came up with my own method its quite simple first tell me you got hombrew channel and an sd card formated to FAT32 and make sure its of about 1 gb . and the card should be empty nothing in it k. you have to make to new folders in it named "apps" and "wad" fine then you got to download wad manager any version heres the address to v 1.3 download it (http://dl.qj.net/wii/homebrew/wad-manager-v13.html) then unzip it u should see a wadmanager something like this .dol file . ok so what you now got to do is in your sd card make a folder called "wadmanager13" place it in the apps folder then extract that .dol file into this "wadmanager13" folder ok so so now rename that file to "boot.dol"ok remember this ok now go to this website (http://wehackwii.pbworks.com/VC-Wads) now from here download the vc games you want then after that put all those donloaded vc games in to your wad folder on the sd card understand then put the sd card into the wii and go to hb channel from there load wad manager 1.3 fine now press a then it will ask you to select device select the sd card now your wads will appear go to the wad you want to install and press a then press + to confirm installation and done very important when downloading wads be carefull of the region enjoy
Allaa YAR!! THANKS!!! Cheers BRO!!! :D Helped Me a Bunch... i gave this to a friend in school and he was able to do it!! i still have to try it :D

    lol. Nintendo games are literally for kids. But to burst some bubbles, I'd like to point out that there are numerous Nintendo emulators available for PC, including multiple Switch emulators. Game compatibility is also pretty good, with overrated games like " Super Mario Odyssey ", "Breath of the WIld" & "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" all being playable. Sour grapes are hard to swallow, i know... :sneaky:

    These misconceptions are downright hilarious. The best console games are made by Nintendo, and you get nothing from them on PC. And I laughed so hard at "better online experience". Literally the worst place to play any multiplayer game is PC. Cheater/hacker heaven of a platform :sick:

    PC gaming is literally at the peak of elitism right now. Literally all the best games from all the other platforms ends up on PC with better graphics/performance. The traditional PC advantages are also present (better performance/graphics on multi-platform games), better online experience, better game stores, best older games compatibility, emulator support, best mod support, best trainer support, and the list is endless. The console kids can point out at specific individual games & be like "but mah game is nawt availabul on yer platzformm", an i say " we really don't care". Nobody cares about a missing dish when you're at the buffet & can enjoy all the best dishes. :sneaky:

    So by this logic CerebralTiger is admitting the evidence I've collected between CTRON and CerebralTiger too 👌😂. Not sure since when I've been a fan of Firefly tho 🤔
    My evidence is comprehensive. The firefly fan thing is in my VMs somewhere. Find it 😆🤜
