Welcome to DK.

I want to know who to play games from external hard drive in Wii.

Well I assume your Wii is softmodded?

If it is please post a sysCheck report.

If it isn't softmodded then if I were you I would upgrade your Wii to 4.3 thats if you have a WiFi connection.

If will give you more details after you reply.

Welcome to DK Dave.

Well the first job is to find the current Wii version your using. Click on Wii Options bottom left then click on Wii Settings the spanner on the right the version number will be shown on the top right.

I personally would do an online update to 4.3 if it isn't that already you Wii will need a WiFi connection from your router. Then you can use LetterBomb to softmod it. You must do all 3 options listed.

1. Install Homebrew.
2. Install BootMii.
3. Prepare SD card - so you can do a NAND backup, don't forget this part. NAND backup

After you have softmodded there are various tutorials for installing USB Loaders. You could use ModMii.

You will need a 2GB SD card to softmod your Wii formatted FAT32 in Windows.
