So I recently bought an old wii, specifically for the purpose of homebrewing. I'm able to understand so far as to what needs downloaded on the Wii and how to backup, but I can't find any sites with games. I noticed Vimms Lair wasn't an option anymore, and other sites I look through use ROMs for emulators. (Unless, those do work on the console). I think you need .wbfs files, and I'd really appreciate if I was pointed in the right direction

I’m not a gamer but remember seeing Wii files on Usenet, just took a look and there’s lots of listings like this one

Don’t know if this is what you are after, but there’s loads like that up there.

Are these excluesively for emulators or would these work on a homebrewed console?

I’ve got no idea. As I said I’m not a gamer, I just saw lots of Wii related posts. If you’d like to try, I could get one for you.
