Playing US games on UK console

Hi,
Bought a Wii game in the US for my little boy but it wont play on our UK console. Got as far as seeing that needed to use Homebrew channel. Which i've got now - but not sure what next. Can anyone help ???
Cheers

Use Gecko OS to run the game.

TinyLoad is simpler and quicker.

Thanks for the pointer :) Very much appreciated - but another quick question. Do you install this or access this through Homebrew ? Got Homebrew on (pretty much) ok but now struggling a bit to understand "what next"... ? #newby-face# #confused-face#

thanks in advance !! :)

The Homebrew Channel is made to load homebrew applications it finds on the SD card. So you would place either TinyLoad or Gecko OS on the SD card in your Wii, then open the Homebrew Channel, then load the application you chose.

The structure on the SD card should look like this:

SD:\
-apps
--(appname)
---boot.elf/boot.dol
---meta.xml
---icon.png
