How do you install Netflix on your Wii?

The guides linked to in this post seemed to require a lot of prior knowledge about Wii hacking– not exactly friendly for the beginner.

Instead, I used this guide from Lifehacker: https://lifehacker.com/5518518/how-to-back-up-and-play-your-wii-games-from-an-external-hard-drive

You can use the exact same method to rip a copy of the Netflix disc to a USB drive and run it just as you would a game. And unlike a game, the Netflix app is tiny; you can run it off a 256 MB USB stick if you have one lying around.

I used a 4GB stick so that I could also install EA Sport Active to run without the disc, meaning that I don’t have to switch discs to play a game after my lady friend is done using it to exercise. Convenient!
