How to Save Wii Games to Memory Card

The Wii can be modified (or "modded") to enable it to run programs not sanctioned by Nintendo. The modification allows the Wii's operating system to perform many tasks that otherwise wouldn't be possible, such as saving a Wii game to a memory card. You can save a Wii game you legally own onto a memory card, providing the Wii modification included the Homebrew channel mod. The modified Wii will provide the tools for saving the game to the memory card, although by modifying the Wii, you will no longer be eligible for any warranty repairs should a problem develop with the Wii's hardware.
