View source for Wii:EmuNAND

EmuNANDs allow you to redirect the Wii's internal storage directly to your SD card or USB drive. This is useful because on the Wii, you are normally limited to the 512mb that you get on the console, whereas with EmuNAND you can theoretically one as big as youd like. This makes saving your games much more streamlined and even just being able to install more channels.
