Yeah, especially for something you don't use all the time. I can understand Gecko Os and backup loaders, but Wad manager as a channel is kinda useless.

i think, emulators as a channel is the pinical of useless..

you still need the SD card to boot games
youre using space for something that isnt needed
and you are using them over a VC game which works better *in some way* than that, and kinda defeat's the purpose

geexbox channel is worth it though, gotta love that

Hmm, there are two different types of channels:

- Channels which install a copy of the app and load that copy. [more disk space used, re-install to updated]

- Forwarder-channels, which don't install a copy of the app and load it from a certain path from the sd card [much less disk space used, no re-install to updated]

So Forwarder-channels from emulators are - of course not much more usefull then before - but a nice toy, which does not need more then 6 - 12 blocks each.

... But how to create Forwarder-channels? I know that they exist, but how to make one?

Maybe I just like having the image of the old school NES in my wii channels!! It's just a loader into the EMU anyways......everything is on the SD card.
