    Hacking Rip backup game discs to HDD

    Since you guys are on the topic... is there a way to copy ISO files directly to a USB drive on a PC..plug that in to the Wii then boot/play them? Though the wireless idea would be cool... if a little slow perhaps.

    With no SD card in it it comes up with the Menu..... I don't think it's the BootMii menu either.... it says "Preloader 0.29" in the bottom right corner.
