How to Make Wii Games

Anyone that is a big gamer may wish to know how to make Wii games. Fortunately, this isn't as difficult to do as you might think.

To make Wii games you will need a Nintendo Wii Console, a compatible SD card, a computer and DevkitPro.

Set your Wii console up so that it will run homebrew programs, as this is the program that you will need to use in order to be able to make Wii games.

Set your computer up with development tools so that you can begin making your own Wii games.

Download DevkitPro, which is the programming environment and compiler for making Wii games.

Make sure that you save this program in a location that has a few gigabytes of space free

Install DevkitPro by simply running the file that you downloaded and following its instructions. This will give you all the files that you need, in their correct directories so that you can make Wii games.

Open DevkitPro and learn as much as you can about it before you start making Wii games. Do this by going to the directory where you installed the program and opening \DevKitPro\Installed\examples\wii\ This will contain 3 basic examples of the C programming language: "Filesystem" (this will show you how to read and write files on Wii's SD card), "Graphics" (this will give you examples and guides for using GX graphics language) and "Template" (this is a template that will help you get started making Wii games).

Run some of the programs from Devkit Pro on your Wii console to see what your Wii games will look like. To do this you will want to load a project into the notepad, click "tools" then "make." This compiles the project into a program that the Wii can run (a *.elf and a *.dol). Create a file for your Wii's SD card on your computer and copy these files there. Now rename the files boot.elf and boot.dol Put your SD card back into your Wii and launch the Homebrew Channel so that you can see the file that you have just created. Click on load and it will run your new Wii game.
Start modifying and experimenting to create your own Wii games. Have fun making your new Wii games.

Now that you know what it takes to make Wii games, you will be able to impress your friends by doing so.
