How to Use Gamma Channel for Wii

In the world of Wii Homebrew, you can find many fan-made applications, one of which is the Gamma Channel. With this channel installed on their Wii, you can run Wii and GameCube backups without the original disc, along with games from other regions. The usage of the Gamma Channel requires only DVD-Rs onto which the games have been burned, and the channel itself to be installed on a Homebrew-enabled Wii.
