I Just Installed Homebrew But Have Some Questions

Okay, just used Smash Stack to get Homebrew Channel. I got a Snes9xgx emulator running well on it. But besides emulation, I was wondering about some other things:

Hacking: Brawl hacks for example. Like getting different chatacters/textures like Geno, Fierce Deity Link, Shadow, etc.

The Homebrew Browser: what is it? What can it do?

Free games? I don't want to update my Wii and I heard I could get free full version games. How is this done?

Other features: What am I missing? What else can I do with Homebrew?

Please help.

GeckOS? What if I want to use someone else's hack?

Hacking: For Brawl, you need Gecko OS on your Homebrew Channel. You activate the proper codes (I think you can find a codeset online somewhere) and place textures and everything where you need to (a guide should be available somewhere online for this). Other stuff, like custom NSMBW levels, require you to load the game through Riivolution.

Homebrew Browser: Allows you to download apps for your Wii directly from your Wii.

Free Games: I'm not that familiar with it, but there are ways to burn games to a DVD and load them through Homebrew. Completely illegal, of course. If you don't want to update your Wii, just load games through GeckoOS- You can skip the update that way.

Games: install any usb loader (ie usbloaderGX), put the game iso in any usb memory (using wfbs manager, a program for pc) or usb hdd and enjoy. (This also makes games from any region work too)

Just installed a gb n64 and snes emulator. The n64 doesn't work. When I go to load a rom it says error opening directory "sd:/wii64/roms". What do I do?

Place the roms in the wii64/roms directory inside your SD card, probably.

So copy and paste every individual rom to the Rom folder?

I don't have a n64 emulator on my Wii but yeah, that's what the error message you posted indicates. So something like (SD card)/wii64/roms (put your roms here); try if that works idk.

According to the Wii64 wiki (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii64) roms should be on .v64 .z64 or .n64 format, so for example avoid leaving them as a .zip

Yeah, the Wii64 is whorrible. Few games crashed, and a couple others just loaded a black screen with white text. Other emulators are fine though.

If I were you, I'd leave the N64 Emulator out... I takes up space and isn't very efficient as of yet. I've only been able to get a handful of games to work and even then, they froze. As for games, ye be hard done by finding them legally matey. However there is this article which tells you how to back up your LEGALLY PURCHASED games onto a hard drive.

Yeah like I got a Quest ROM: black screen with text. I'm not sure if it's the ROM or what. Goemon's Great Adventure just randomly resets. Mortal Kombat Mythologies crashes. Glover: same as Quest... Real bummer.
