I found my old Wii and opened up the Wii shop channel, only to discover that I had the fluidity demo downloaded and not the full game. :{

homebrew is your answer ...

or check my topic/download for save states for emulator

Had you bought it originally and then deleted it? You can still redownload games you own.

No, appearently it was never the full game, only the demo. But I have it on emulator and will soon homebrew my wii to do console runs, so things are looking up lads :)
