Ok, first off I recently found out about the wad packers and the VC/wiiware releases because I wasn't aware of this site and other more sites are too scared to post legitimate news if it leans towards piracy. So if what I'm asking has been covered before, please let me know.
After breaking apart a wii play iso, it appears to me that the actual game files are less than 100mb! I also noticed that the exe in the system folder of the game partition is a dol file. From what I understand, dol files are packable into wads. Would it be possible, with some hacking, to put wii play and possibly wii sports on a channel? Those games are sort of pick up and play for a minute or two, so it makes sense to me to simply have them in the menu for easy access. I tried some experiments with a elf/dol launcher, but I didn't get anywhere. I think the problem lies in the fact that the main.dol is in a "system" folder and all the game's other files are in a "root" folder at the root of the partition.
Has anyone else attempted this? Any ideas?
