Some initial questions on emulator use

Hello, first time wii modder, long time modder overall. So I have my Wii soft modded and I have emulators for the following systems so far:

- NES
- SNES
- Genesis
- N64
- I imagine I will get an Arcade emulator soon, any suggestions?

I have them up and running fine, but my question is, is it possible to create a new Channel for each separate emulator so I can launch directly from the home screen w/o having to go into the homebrew channel? I looked on the first 3 pages of the forum and couldn't find an answer so if someone could help me I'd appreciate it.

2 more things. 1) Is it possible to create cover art flow for your games in each emulator and 2) Is the Classic Controller Pro a good buy for all around emulator use? Thanks for any help.

Well for the channels some emulators have channel installers on the homebrew browser app, for the others search the internet for forwarders.
1) I don't think it is possible but I may be wrong
2) I personally use a gamecube controller, so I'm not sure if they're supported by emulators but if they are then I'd get one.
Oh and did you drop a post in the introductions section? You can get some useful information and links from there.
