tl;dr : Started my wii on emuNAND with SNEEK. Works as expected, games are working and stuff. Homebrew Channel doesn't work; boots BootMii instead. BootMii freezes on scam warning screen, gamecube and Power/reset buttons do nothing.

I've spent some time now trying to install my "perfect collection of retro games" on my Wii. As it tends to happen though, I ran out of internal storage space and since I'm very picky with presentation, just transferring titles to my SD card simply will not do. Running an emuNAND with SNEEK came up to me as the solution.
After a few hours of head scratching, I was able to successfully run my Wii on a dumped clone of itself from my SD card. The build ran as advertised with most games playable. The problem : Not all of my retro games are proper VC titles. Some of them are Forwarder channels that link to a Homebrew emulator (ie not64). These don't work at all currently and will simply boot me back to system menu.
Note that I'm currently only using a single SD card for this. Since this setup isn't meant to run GC or Wii games, I've refrained from using a USB drive.
Now, when I red about SNEEK, I red that it should be compatible with the Homebrew Channel and that I should be able to run Homebrew apps from there. I have no idea, however, if this should also apply to forwarder channels that launch a Homebrew app. I can't even make sure of that though, because the Homebrew Channel itself doesn't work. When I try to boot it, it launches BootMii instead. BootMii itself doesn't seem to work either. It remains stuck on the "If you payed for this product, you got scammed" screen. I tried pressing every buttons on my GameCube controller and both Power and Reset buttons on my Wii, nothing works. Note that my Homebrew channel and BootMii worked perfectly well on my real Wii NAND.
Anyway, that's the whole story. Any insight is appreciated.
