    First off, wii needs to be modded(softmod will do)
    Second, you need to get it so that you can load homebrew(gbatemp for that info)
    Now;
    Needs moar WAD Manager 1.5(gbatemp for info)
    you first need to find the .wad of the game you're wanting(cavestory), GOOGLE.it :p
    then you put it on an SD card, run homebrew channel and then WAD Manager; read onscreen prompts, and find your .wad and install it.
    I'm leaving things out, I know, that's where gbatemp comes in handy(as does their Search tool)

    Just remember, they do NOT want any requests for roms, isos, or wad files. It's discussion of the games, not a sharing site like RomU is :p

    I see you need some help. :)

    Check out my Wii Soft-mod information thread. - http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=35411.msg638485

    You will need Wadmanager to install the wad file.

    http://filetrip.net/f6031-WAD-Manager-1-5.html

    -To install a wad, you need the Homebrew Channel.
    --Place the wad into a wad folder on your SD Card.
    --Place the wadmanger folder into the apps folder on your SD Card.
    --Next run the Homebrew Channel and launch WadManager 1.5.
    --Go through the beginning parts and then select SD Card Slot.
    --Next, navigate to the wad that you want to install and install it.

    You may need some custom IOS' in order to run WiiWare games though.

    Use PimpMyWii in order to do so.
    That is in my soft-mod information thread as well.
    You just need wifi and have soft-modded your Wii with one of the guides that I posted in the thread.

    If you need any help or any questions about the Wii, just PM me.
