Add a warning about the hard limit number of "wii game shortcuts" #99

Closed thamulot closed 2 months ago

Description

I was looking to create shortcuts for all of the backup Wii games on my USB drive. The idea was to avoid using USB Loader GX and disrupt the user experience for the person using the Wii.

I stumbled on the "Creating Wii Game Shortcuts" guide - aka https://wii.hacks.guide/wiigsc. I then was able to create all my wad files, I installed them, it worked.... only to realize I could not see all the games.

I searched on the tubes only to understand that, the Wii is limited to 48 channels and this is a hard limit. In fact, the community probably created these loaders like USB Loader GX to circumvent this kind of limitation I wasn't aware of.

So, if the documentation had a clear warning at the begining, stipulating I would be limited to 36 or so channels for my games, I would have NOT created and installed all those wad files.

It seemed obvious to me considering the Wii NAND is limited to a measely 512mb, but alright, I will humor this request. Also, all system channels can be uninstalled from the Wii, except for the Disc Channel, which is integrated in the System Menu itself. Additionally there are alternatives for adding more channels to your Wii menu, which I wont get into right now.

As for your commit, please do not commit to the other translation pages as that will cause conflicts with crowdin. en_US should only be used for the time being.

Dude, that is an Idiom. That means he will accept the change even though it is not much important thing to add...
