I have installed the homebrew channel on my wii along with dvdx, but I still cannot play the backup copies of the games I own. When I go into the homebrew channel there are no "apps" in there if that makes a difference. I also bought a couple of games when I was in Europe, and I can't play them because they're PAL (which I didn't know at the time). I hear there is a way to play them on a NTSC system. I'm probably missing a "app" or something, and if anyone can shed some light on this I would appreciate it.
