How exactly do you port stuff to the wii?

Ive been wondering. When you get the source code, what do you do with it?

Create a new makefile to comply with the Wii libraries, modify the source to comply aswell, anything that can't be used has to be re-written using another library or re-written completely. That's a very general answer, though... I couldn't exactly explain it as well as some of the tutorials out there. Just run a google search on "Wii Coding Tutorials" or something like that. =/

I ported Syobon Action for Wii, sources are a *MESS* but it was fun to (partially) "decrypt" them, have a look at it (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Syobon_action_wii) I've included original sources.
What I did was to replace all the original graphics/input/sounds calls with Wii ones...not difficult but not easy though, becasue it involves some correction to fit on the new platform.
The hardest thing anyway is to understand the flow of the code first, then replace functions step by step.

So you mean comply it with Programers Notepad and then use LibWiicontrol to change it into wii controls and then do some other stuff so the wii likes it?
