ok, so I have used the GC mode to run my emulators on the Wii cause they work fine.
but today I saw there is a release of SNES with wii more support.
so my question is. how do i load ELF files..do i have to use the TP hack or is there a new way..?
There are ways that use the Trucha Signer to make a homebrew loader ISO, but they are essentially just hacked up TP exploit discs and are probably illegal unless you do it to a backup yourself. You still need the homebrew on SD card. The official way is using TP or the homebrew channel (installed using TP).
