Hi there,
Regarding your guide on backing up Wii channels. Here something I want to ask.
You know how that we can purchase Wii games from the Wii U Virtual console? If I'm not mistaken, the only way to play the games I purchased from the Nintendo eShop channel is to play it via the vWii app.
If I did plan to back up the Wii games and use it on Dolphin Emulator in the future, is it possible to back up the Wii games that are located on the vWii? I never seen anyone try to backup a Wii games they purchased form the Nintendo eShop. The only games I did back up was the older NES, SNES, GBA, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 64 games I purchased from my Wii U. For thous wondering, I homebrew the Wii U and used an application called the DDD. The DDD allows me to dump whatever games I wanted form my Wii U menu. All I need to do is to establish connection to my PC (make sure firewall is whitelisted/disabled), select whatever game I want to boot up. Wait for it to dump. Download a couple official emulator software for N64, GBA, etc. Try to load the emulator with an appropriate rom file. And... Profit.
The reason why I want to purchase the Wii games from the Nintendo eShop channel is because I want to save some money as opposed to purchasing a retailer copy on Ebay. For example, if I were to try to buy Metroid Prime Trilogy on Ebay (from the US), it would cost me around $50-100 USD. While the eShop digital version only cost me $20. I could make the smart choice to purchase the game from the eShop. Plus, I get to save money. Anyone see the patter in Behavioral Economics? Hm?
