This might be a noobish question, but is it possible to have game backups to play on an SD card? I know the homebrew goes on the SD card, but everywhere I look, I see that game backups mostly go on a USB device. Help?
 
I have a wii (4.3U) with indiana jones softmod, should i change to another softmod method or the one i have is just fine?

Once it's softmodded, the softmod method itself is completely irrelevant. The one you have is just fine.

1. What is priiloader?
2. How do I use it?
3. How do I know if i have it?
4. How do I change the settings?
Take a look here:
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader/Priiloader

To see if you have Priiloader, press and hold RESET while your Wii is booting up. If the Priiloader screen appears, you have it (and can edit settings there); if the System Menu comes up, you don't.
 
I cant install wad virtual console or wiiware games anymore for smoe reason. I foloved the guide: http://gbatemp.net/t171901-modify-any-wii-4-3-below (I foloved the guid fully up to the point where it says ''congratiulations you are done, so i have priloader installed and everything) When i was done everything worked so i downloaded and installed 3 virtual console games.

Normally we don't help pirates, well simply use modmii to rehack your wii, NEVER use some packs from youtube or different sites.

When I downloaded modmii my antyvirus amutomaticly removed it.
There are no viruses in ModMii, and as far as I know no one else's antivirus removes it, but if yours done it is just detecting a false positive. Just go in to the settings and make it ignore ModMii, if that doesn't work, just temporarily disable it while you are running ModMii.

EDIT: ninja'd

To witch port do I have to install virtual console wads?
WADs which are playable titles and not IOS or system files are not installed into "ports". I believe you are mistaking "port" for the IOS/cIOS prompt in the WAD manager you are using. This prompt is asking what IOS/cIOS the program should use to install the WAD. You need to select a cIOS that is already installed on your Wii which has the Trucha Bug and Nand access patches applied. Some commonly used cIOS to use would be cIOS249 or cIOS236. If you do not have the needed cIOS, install one using ModMii, or alternatively use a WAD Manager like MMM which does not require the use of a patched cIOS as it is able to gain system access via the AHBPROT flag.

As for how to install WADs in general, I refer you to the Complete SoftMOD Guide's Wad Manager entry.

How do I actually get the game backups onto the Wii? I have a .iso file that's 4 GB but my SD Card is only 2 GB. Is it possible for me to play the game backup?

No, the only methods to load backups are via burnt disc media (disc loading), mod-drives (ie WODE), and USB HDD/flash drives (USB loading). While you may be able to scrub the backup image to a size smaller than 2GB (this is dependent on the particular game partition contents) you will not be able to run the game from the Wii's SD card slot.

My recommendation is to get a cheap compatible USB HDD and use a USB Loader. You can read up on backup loaders over at the Complete SoftMOD Guide.

*EDIT, I forgot about NeoGamma, it is able to run games via the Wii's SD card slot, but USB loading is still highly recommended over it.
