You could follow this great tutorial from me for make custom VC channels of several systems (including GB/GBC/GBA, N64, SNES, 32X, TurboGrafx-CD and more), using my custom Single ROM Loaders (SRLs) of the best homebrew emulators on Wii: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...ls-of-your-favorite-retro-games-d-wii.602640/

No. I tried running with various windows program loaders to no avail.

Have you tried running these Windows programs in a virtual machine (like Oracle VM VirtualBox)?

This thread reminds me of a question I always meant to ask, the Wii never officially had any kind of Game Boy virtual console, yet, the Wii release of Kirby Dream Collection played its selection of great old Kirby games via the same (though slightly modded) virtual console emulators that the Wii used for standalone VC release. Interestingly, this collection did feature 2 Game boy games in Kirby and Kirby 2, clearly with it's own official emulation means on the Wii. Was there ever any effort to isolate this bit of programming in Kirby's Dream Collection to get Nintendo's Game Boy emulator on the Wii for us to inject with whichever Game Boy games we desire?

I mean I get it, there is no real need for this at all, but it's an interesting curiosity of the system all the same.

Dunno. The closest I know is what @SuperrSonic did:



Per one of the comments, there's no tutorial but:

"Not that I know of. You just need: a forwarder+a loader+KDC+Wiimms Wit and some time to make it work. You will need a hex editor to patch the save file path. The config.ini only lets you change the palette(you can use more than four colors) and the layout file can be edited with the use of benzin. Never found a way to remove the bilinear filter even though it should be possible with the layout file. Interestingly Kirby's Dream Land 2 uses a nonsense palette, probably to reduce the strobe effect in one of the boss fights."

So it's not extracted and turned into its own equivalent Wii VC wad platform, so much as shortcuted to look like the same with a forwarder. It sounds like there's still a mostly-intact Kirby's Dream Collection that needs to be present.
