Technically, you can do multiplayer if your motherboard supports virtual machine mode.
Just use either a Virtual machine to boot 2 OS's up or use sandboxie and load 2 games up at the same time. (One thing to be warned of is that MMORPG's have strict rules against using virtual environment software to dual-log their games and normally stick in counter measures to ensure it does not happen (Which the countermeasures fail 85% of the time))

The only thing I dislike about PC games is everything is single player on the client side. So I can't do splitscreen with PayDay 2 or Garry's Mod or anything else.

I'm agreeing with what Neo said. For consoles you might not be able to do it without breaking your warranty and/or doing something more advanced to alter your game's data.

Actually, there is one that works for only a few games, but it does work. Unfortunately the only way to use it is to patch your game somehow and then play the patched version on either an emulator or your console. The project is called "Wiimmfi" and it currently only supports MKWii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Animal Crossing.

I'm not sure what you mean by custom server. Nintendo owns and operates the servers for the online features of their games, you can't set up your own like you can with PC games

This ^
And even if you managed to host a GAME server the Nintendo login server for the online Mii's would stop the Wii connecting to the server.

It's just so we can play Mario Kart Wii or something. I haven't played that game in a while, but man, playing that with my sister today just felt so refreshing and so goooooooood.....
