But I freed my wii 3 years from now and I can share the little I know. (I did it myself then but im refining it before uploading it on the internet). (Homebrew games launched via homebrew channel also can have their wad) so i joined this community to ask if someone coul do it. In fact i can answer you because i didnt find anywhere a wad for homebrew game called Wiitrouble. A lot of applications that doesnt have much attention doesnt have a wad. (I can´t give them to you because im level1 on the forum so i cant put links or archives). And also you can find trusty wads practically anywhere. There are plenty of tutorials for WadManager. You install WadManager (also on your SD card as any other app) and you start it via homebrew channel. You have to have a carpet on the root of your SD card named 'WAD' (without the''). So you find the USBloaderGX WAD file you like the desing the most. But if you search for it you will find soon a trustable source, because a defective WAD is dangerous for the wii (tho i've never had any problem ccause normally is easy to find good wads). USBloaderGX (a wii games loader) has a lot of WADs with diferent desings. Use the official client wiiload or a compatible 3rd party application. (Optional) A computer on the same network as your Wii to upload applications. (Optional) A USBGecko to upload applications. SD cards and USB mass storage devices are currently supported. You can install them via WadManager.įor example. A media to store the homebrew applications on you wish to launch. They are called WADs or forwarder channels. They are shorcuts from the menu to the homebrew channel.
