Try this app.
It will allow you to create a custom channel, that you can launch from the wii system menu. Also, next time use better grammer. It was painful to read your post.

don't worrie, it is fine as long as you only change these fields:
source: pick static base
title: pick a title for the channel
options: don't change anything here, except the DOL section. just hit the browse button, and find the .dol for the emulator.
banner: use the replace button to choose an image to use as the main banner, it will automatically be streched to fit
icon: same as banner
don't touch any options after that.
If you do this you'll be safe, also I think this is the only Wiibrew.org approved way to make custom channels. Don't worry, I have made a couple channels like this, it is perfectly safe.

P.S. If you are really worried, install priiloader, then if something goes wrong you can boot to the HBC and fix it.

Installing custom channels is never without risks. That tool is by far the safest method of creating a custom channel.

No you can't just copy and paste to the SD card, it'd be a WAD you'd need to install with a tool not available or supported by WiiBrew (you're on your own there)
