How to Put NES ROM Files on a Wii

ROM files are backup copies of games that are played using an emulator, either on your computer or on a gaming console. Because ROM file downloading and sharing is not allowed by game companies, some publishers, such as Nintendo, have offered a marketplace to download classic games directly to your console. You can purchase and download Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES games to your Wii console using the Virtual Console marketplace. NES games on the Virtual Console are purchased with Wii points, which can be bought online with a credit card or as Wii points cards in game retail stores.
