First of all, to help you we'd need to know if you have the very latest version, 3.3e, that you have?
That is, did you update your Wii since October 23, 2008? whether from the Wii itself or from a recent game released since the 23rd (like for example: Disaster Day of Crisis)

I'm asking you this because the method will be slightly different depending on whether or not you did this update.

Hello,

Ok, so you want to run copied Wii games on your unmodded console...

The tutorial for the procedure is here:

HERE

Don't hesitate to ask for help here if you need it ;)

However if you're on 3.3 E V2 you'll need to downgrade to 3.2 E first thanks to this tutorial:

To answer thecoco8: I did the update on my wii over the network and honestly I don't know if I did the update before or after October 23rd, how can I know that???

Thank you very much and see you soon

If you have an internet connection on your Wii, do you have access to the shop channel?
If it asks you to do an update, don't do it under any circumstances, that means you're not on version 3.3e V2. Which will simplify things going forward! If that's the case, you just need to follow the first tuto that Tgames gave you!

Ok well great! Above all don't do the update!
And you just need to follow the first Tuto that Tgames gave you as a link, that is, this one:

No problem, that's what we're here for ;)
As for the risks, there will always be some... but here they're minimal! The tuto is there for exactly that, if you follow what's indicated, there shouldn't be any problem! If in doubt, before doing anything, don't hesitate to come back here and ask! :)

Yes it's preferable to format it, it costs nothing. However make sure to format it as FAT16 or FAT32!

No, all your game saves are on your Wii. By the way if you have a Zelda one, I'd advise setting it aside if you want to keep it!
And to download the pack, I just tried and had no problem. Did you click on "Pack Ready To Use By Wantose.rar - 9.76MB" Then on "Download Now" at the bottom left? then you have to wait 20s for the download to start.

ah ok so I'll go make a backup of all my games :D by the way I managed to dl the pack but already an issue, it tells me to do this: Copy/paste the file "boot.elf" located in the "[Channel] Homebrew Channel 9" folder to the root of your SD card.
But I don't have that file, I have boot.dol???? what do I do,?? :(
