How to Copy ROMs From a PC to a Wii

The Nintendo Wii can run a variety of emulators and other homebrew software. When you download emulator games, or ROMs, to your computer, you can transfer them to your Wii on an SD card or USB drive. Your Wii needs to be modded with the homebrew channel before you can run emulators. Once you copy the emulator game ROMs to your SD card or USB drive and insert it into your Wii, you can play your game ROMs through your emulator.
