I would like to have all my games as channels on my Wii. I searched on the internet for answers but everything seems to be outdated.
Is it possible? And if yes, how?

Thanks in advance

You can't just convert a WBFS (or even an ISO) into a nice installable WAD file. The Wii won't support that, and also the games will not fit on the Wii's small internal memory of 512MB (Wii games are around 4GB, some around 7.5GB). The closest thing you can get are channel forwarders that will boot up your USB loader of choice with that game. These are outdated because the Wii hasn't really changed much. Here's a thread that looks useful:

Crap is a little old, now it's WiiGSC (crap new name).

But that's the way to go :)

It doesn't convert your WBFS to WAD, it only creates empty channels with the game's original animated banner.
That channel only contains a forwarder to one of your prefered USBLoader which is used to autoboot the WBFS game using your stored game's settings.

So, you first need to go to the loader's settings and the game's settings if you want specific features (ocarina, video patches, etc.)
then you launch the channel on your menu. (or use USBLoaderGX emulated menu layout and you don't have to install channels to the 48 limited slots)

    I've been to his chicken restaurant he started in his 2nd movie, Holy Chicken, was pretty good. It is only 15-20 miles from me in Ohio. It only lasted 1 yr or so then closed tho.

    There are very few people I just have just an immense dislike of and he's one of those very few people, the only other example is Gene Simmons. My musician uncle on my mother's side of the family actually met Gene once during some event and said he was the most unpleasant person to be around.
