ok, first of all there's a link on the page that you gave me "Some additional base WADs made by SifJar are available here" . I downloaded them with no problem. So i can use one of them as a base, right?
Secondly, it says on the tutorial page "Browse for an existing wad file. Note that this has to be the wad of a channel (IOS wads and other stuff will result in an error when loading)"
Does it mean i can use a wad file of one of my existing WII channels (for example FCE Ultra GX) and use it as a base?
Finally, I watched this video on youtube () and this guy uses a base wad file (nes - NESS.wad) that he uploaded. I downloaded it and i can use it as a base and basically follow what he does in the video, right?

I do believe you can use any channel as a base, yes

ok, got it, what about other options on the Options tab? Like Startup IOS, NAND loader, Turn off security checks, etc? Do I leave them the way they are?

ok, last question

what i wanna do is create a channel that would forward to an application (game) in the apps folder on my SD card.

For example, I downloaded this wii homebrew game Splatter Castle and I don't want to click on the Homebrew Channel channel and then click on this game in the list to play it every time, instead I want to have a channel for this game in the Wii main menu or whatever you call it, you know what I mean, this is what i am talking about. (see image below)

So, all the steps that you recommended in this conversation are the right steps to make a WAD file that would do exactly that (create a channel that would take me to the app i want), right?
