Hello
I was working with the wii and the gc-linux project, and i found a way to play MAME and some other emulators (VisualBoyAdvanced,snes9x, gngeo,scummvm....) under wii, without the needs of a BBA adapter. If you are interested, here is a tutorial about how to run the emulators. It runs the Advanced Mame port, and a direct compilation of the VBA project for linux.

The idea is to have an installation of gc-linux on the SD, with an ext2 partition (as if it were a PC-Harddisc), were you put the gc-linux files with the emulator. It works well with small roms (cps1 or roms smaller than 7MB), but with bigger roms it lags a little, depending on the size.

I posted the tutorial here:
