How to Play Backup Games on My Wii

One of the complaints about the Nintendo Wii is the small hard drive space. Players who like to download games and other content from the Nintendo Shop Channel sometimes find themselves quickly running out of space. However, the update to Wii Menu 4.0 allowed Wii console owners to back up games to their SD card and play them directly from the backups. The system makes this extremely easy.
