How to Install an Emulator Channel on Homebrew

The Nintendo Wii is capable of running emulators from its dashboard just like a computer. Emulators allow the playing of console games from the likes of Sega, Sony, and many others on a Nintendo console or computer and vice versa. Installing emulators on the Nintendo Wii is possible only if you are already running the Homebrew channel on the Wii. When you download an emulator for the Wii, it will be saved on your computer as a "wad" file, which is only readable by the Wii. Once installed, the emulator will be placed onto the Wii's main screen where the emulator can be selected and played using the Wii remote.
