Yay. I may try Fire Emblem first just to test it.

Is anyone turning this into a .Wad? I think it's a heck easier to use but I lack to knowledge to do it myself

marc, how do you load homebrew usually? do you use the homebrew channel or launcher? or do you always run through twilight princess? because .elf through homebrew channel has to be the easiest way i think

Vernonjr, I think he wants to be able to install the emu as its own channel which would be easier to load, but I like having the slick homebrew channel.

seems to be pretty nice, emulation is running fairly well. itll be nice when the gui comes a long a little bit. Theres hardly one here at all. Anyways, definitly has a lot of potential.

Well, I prefer having each of my homebrew in a different channel. Homebrew channel doesn't work 100% perfect yet for me so i'll stick to .wad until it's fixed.

I prefer having the homebrew channel instead of different channels because i save a ton of memory that way. Instead of saving all that homebrew on my wii i can just run all of it off a SD Card :thumbup: Homebrew Channel FTW

Well, this is kind of irrelevant, most emulator takes about 15-30 blocks max, it doesn't mean a lot
