   - A stand-alone gun.
-The only ones I've tried are the first type. The form-factor of the official shell is good for some games, like the [[Sega Model 2]] ports. For other stuff I tend to use a little Nyko pistol shell with an uncomfortably wide grip.

+Wiimmfi (I keep calling it WiiFML in my head) is the replacement for online features in games. There's a general patch that works for most stuff, but some particular games have their own patch, which does some extra stuff like change text in the game data.

-You can easily convert an ISO to a WBFS file with the command-line tool Wit (or using a GUI frontend for it) using the copy command. Simply ''wit copy [filename].iso [filename].wbfs'' will do the job quickly!

+NKit is a format for compressing Gamecube and Wii games. Wii's can play GC games in this format, but not Wii games. [[Dolphin]] handles them fine. For converting .nkit.iso files to something a Wii can play:
