Homebrew Turning game backups into virtual console titles?

[Sizzyl]

I've got a good amount of game backups and was wondering if there's a way to make them into virtual console titles for the wii similar to the wii u, is that possible? Or has noone done it yet?

Two choices.
1) Yeah this is basic injection. Depending upon the system and game you are injecting you might need a different base version -- not all the VC emulators feature the ability to emulate all the weird and wonderful things from older systems (to say nothing of the woes of N64 emulation), as well as also lacking savestates, cheats, fun filters and all the things from homebrew emulators. Many however did go here, and sometimes the VC emulators were better than homebrew offerings from the time.

2) You can make forwarders to homebrew emulators.

Things here vary between systems being emulated and homebrew emulators being used but if going through homebrew channel and to emulator, or selecting a game from the inbuilt emulator's file selection is too much you do have some options.

How do I do either of these things? They both seem really useful.

Yes, it is possible @Sizzyl. See tutorials below this message.

Yeah @FAST6191, this is correct, I've wrote tutorials for inject those games on Wii VC time ago for almost every game system supported by VC.

I've wrote several tutorials for injecting old retro games into Virtual Console WADs time ago on GBAtemp. Here's a list for tutorials for injecting game backups into Virtual Console Channels (in WADs) depending of your game's system:

• Nintendo Entertainment System (NES): Tutorial here
• Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES): Tutorial here
• Nintendo 64 (N64): Tutorial here
• Commodore 64 (C64 / C-64): Tutorial here
• SNK NeoGeo AES: Tutorial here
• SEGA Master System: Tutorial here
• SEGA Genesis / SEGA Mega Drive: Tutorial here
• NEC TurboGrafx-16 / NEC PC Engine (TurboChip / HuCard games): Tutorial here
• NEC TurboGrafx-16 CD / NEC TurboGrafx-CD / NEC PC Engine CD-ROM² System / NEC PC Engine Super CD-ROM² System (CD games): Tutorial here
• Microsoft MSX1 / Microsoft MSX2: Tutorial here
• Adobe Flash SWF games in AS2 (ActionScript 2.0): Tutorial here
