Hacking Should I homebrew my wii?

[FamousBug_]

That's right again. It needs to be connected to a Wii Remote that is paired to the console. There are some knockoff Classic Controllers that plug into the GC ports, but they won't be able to navigate the Wii Menu. An alternative to all of this if you really want to go that route is Homebrewing and installing Priiloader or something like that, which will allow you to navigate your Wii in simplified menus with any controller you might want to use. I do this when I want to just boot up a game or homebrew without touching my Wii Remote.

Priiloader is accessed, when installed, by holding the Reset button while powering on the console.

is priiloader a homebrew app or homebrew type?

You can use a classic controller for GC games with Nintendont. So wiimote nunchuk and classic controller.

you can use a classic controller with normal nintendo

It is basically a system recovery menu that is installed alongside homebrew. Read more here: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Priiloader

SD card can be any size. Games are stored on an USB device. So, you also need a USB flashdrive or and USB HDD.

Depends how many games you want. Wii games are anywhere from less than 1 GB to 7 GB, GC games are almost all 1.35 GB unless they have two discs then 2.71 GB. I'd go for at least 250 GB if you want a lot of games.
