A WAD Manager - You likely already have a program to install WADs since you need it for softmodding the Wii (installing IOS patches) but if you don't, there's a few links for you.

This guide uses USB Loader GX but you can also try WiiFlow or Configurable USB Loader. This guide will walk you through how to set up your Wii (note: not WiiU) to play Wii and Gamecube games from a flash drive or external hard drive (USB device - which I guess if you have a large enough SDHC card, you could get a USB adapter and use that too).
