when you download wiiware/vc games....they download as .wads!
which are then installed through a program called 'wad manager', which is ran through 'the homebrew channel'
very very simple, 5 minutes work!
If all goes well, it's indeed the simplest method.
However...keep in mind that if you try to install a bad wad (or even an out-of region wad), you could end up with a bannerbricked wii.
With precautions (bootmii or priiloader), this can be overcome. But it's another reason why emulation is usually preferred: installing a bad wad won't cause any problems.
