# Creating Wii Game Shortcuts
22

3-
Do you use a Wii backup loader and want to create game shortcuts to launch them on your Wii Menu? Then try WiiGSC (Wii Game Shortcut Creator), previously known as Crap.
3+
This guide provides instructions on how to create Wii game shortcuts for game backups that you have on external storage devices, using a piece of software called WiiGSC (Wii Game Shortcut Creator). By creating game shortcuts, you can launch a game backup directly from the Wii Menu as if you had inserted the game as a regular disc.

In the case of a brick, [installing Priiloader is a must](/priiloader). Also, install BootMii (as Boot2 if you have an early Wii). Installing brick protection along with following the guide correctly should keep you safe from bricks. DO NOT CONTINUE UNTIL YOU HAVE INSTALLED PRIILOADER AND BOOTMII!

Installing [Priiloader](priiloader) and [BootMii](bootmii) are advised due to brick risk in this guide, and should keep you safe along with following the guide correctly. Do NOT continue the guide unless you have installed Priiloader or BootMii!
