Dad just told me he wants me to "hack his Wii to play games" which I already did like in 2018 or something... anyway... was thinking to use something like WiiFlow, which if I'm not mistaken, it's some sort of "plug and play" without needing to navigate through menus or emulators.
So, I've been trying to find a nice tutorial on how to install WiiFlow, but as many tempers has said "Never use Youtube Tootorials!" I've decided to play safe and ask these following questions:
1.- What do I need to install WiiFlow? Is an emuNAND necessary?
2.- What preventions do I have to take when installing WiiFlow in my dad's Wii in order to not brick it? (I already have a NAND backup in my Google Drive since 2018 I think)
3.- Can WiiFlow display RetroArch roms? I think when dad says "play games" he means things like, NES, SNES, ATARI2600, etc. So... I was thinking that maybe I could use WiiFlow as a "forwader" without having my dad to navigate through menus. Although, I might leave all roms in Root so they're accesible just by loading Retroarch, wich is a possibility if WiiFlow doesn't satisfy these "special needs".
4.- No... dad is not interested in Call of Duty, or Super Mario Galaxy or Zelda Skyward Sword. His interests in games might end at Gamecube... maybe couple Wii titles... but mostly old/retro games. So... any way to make the Wii display the games at boot in order to just pick one and play? That's be awesome considering dad is turning 64 this July 19th.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Basically make the Wii look pretty and easy to use so dad can play Finalburn Alpha roms with one click, then SNES with another click, maybe Gamecube with another click, etc.
