Got the wads, just wondering how they work. I have Homebrew Channel, which can install wads, but I'm wondering how that ends up working. Does installing each wad install a separate channel for each game, or does it all go into a WiiWare Channel or something? Or am I supposed to install a wiiware channel separately? Any help would be appreciated.

Each game installs as a channel.

Keep in mind you can not install allot of games. You only have as much memory as the internal memory holds. Keep an eye on that under Wii Settings/Save Data.

Once the memory is full and you want to add a different game you will need to delete a game off the system memory first then install the new game. Do not update to the newest Wii update since that blocks WAD files from being installed.

Not yet. Nintendo first acknowledged that theres a problem with the lack of storage on the wii about a year ago and since then they've been promising something big to fix it. But so far theres not even a whisper of the supposed solution.
