At its core, a video game console is merely a specially designed computer with software to allow it to play a particular type of media. This software can be emulated on PCs, making playing games on your computer a cheap alternative to buying a new console, provided you have a computer powerful enough to run the large, detailed games of today. Running PC games on the Wii is just as easy, requiring little effort to get everything set up.
Instructions
1. Download a Nintendo Wii emulator (see Resources for link). If you already have one, move on to Step 3.
2. Install the Nintendo Wii emulator by double-clicking the EXE file and following the very basic instructions given by the installer. These instructions boil down to choosing where on the hard drive to install your emulator and agreeing to terms of service.
3. Insert your Nintendo Wii game disc into your computer's CD drive.
4. Boot the Wii emulator by double-clicking on the emulator icon.
5. Click "File," then "Boot from Disk Drive." If necessary, click the proper drive letter that your Wii disc is in. Allow a couple of minutes the first time you load a game for the computer to properly recognize the file format before the game loads.
