Possible to create invisible Wii Home menu?

[deadendthrills]

I want to be able to pause a game and still use the free camera, which means the emulation needs to be running the whole time. The best way I can think of to do this would be to somehow make the Wii Home menu invisible, which would mean you could effectively pause and fly around all Wii games. I've tried doing it by simply injecting blank textures in place of the usual ones, but that ended up making the whole game disappear (!).

Any ideas?
