Homebrew A few questions

[Deleted User]

(I'm using the vWii off the Wii U. I don't know where exactly to post this, so if its in the wrong place let me know)

I have a few questions about Wii Homebrew:
1) Is there anyway for the Wii to run 32X games?
2) Is it possible for Nintendon't to run zips? I want to fit everything on my SD card but I don't have enough space
3) (probably the dumbest question) is there a homebrew app that lets you read PDFs?

No, it's not trivial to decompress games on the fly while also virtualizing them; you can however use trimmed formats like CISO (which you can create using "wit convert -C path-to-your-backup.iso")

is there a homebrew app that lets you read PDFs?

WiiXplorer (regular or SS) should be able to, if all else fails you could bother setting up Wii Linux lol

Thank you for responding! How exactly would I make a CISO?

With wit (Wiimms ISO Tools), a command line program - its website has the detailed explaination of its 100 features, but the example I gave you ("wit convert -C /path/to/your/game.iso") will replace that game file with one in CISO format (you can also feed it other formats than ISO, for example GCM; and by changing the "-C" you change the format to output, although there aren't other interesting ones for this use case)

Buy a bigger SD card. Read PDFs on your cellphone - most can do it easily.
