Load Wii Games from an External Hard Drive

Instead of storing your games on their usual CDs, store them on an external hard drive and then load them at your convenience without having to even get off the couch.  Plus you could even grab some “backup copies” from online and store them on your drive too.  The setup process is really quite simple and easy for anyone to follow.  Also, if you don’t have a Wii, you could always just use an emulator to play them on your PC.

Ooh I like this idea. I’ll try it on my ioSafe Solo. (http://www.iosafe.com/4) Will it work on any external hard drive?

Hi there. I know someone who has a hard drive that automatically burns the games to it as soon as she puts the game into the console. Is this the same idea? I would love to be able to put a game in once and then just pick them off the hard drive.
