you need external hard drive and plug it into the wii's usb port. Games will run from the external drive. Just read is all over the forum.

Any PC or MAC HD will work. You will end up reformatting it to WBFS. The format can be done with the WII using the USB loader (took mine a whole 2 min)It can also be formatted with the PC using WBFS manager. You will need WBFS manager to transfer Games using the PC (Much faster than using WII) Depending on what USB loader you get will have an effect on how fast the WII Copies a disc to the HD. The loader I use has taken no more than 10 min (that was a few 3gig games) to copy a disc to HD. Most games are much smaler in file size.

I recomend you get one with an external power source (Dont get the ones that are powered from the USB). I have a seagate 500gig The colors match the WII. Only have 34 games so far and that is takeing up 50 gig. Just to give you an idea of how many games will fit. Turns out each is not the 4.5gig in size. It scrubs the false data and leaves you with what is needed. And yes any ISO, Even if it says you need a mod chip, will run on it. When you are getting your games make sure you get the correct region. I found a place with a huge library of NTSC and a differnt one that has mostly PAL.
