Installing Wads on your Wii from the Homebrew Channel

[nvs231]

Sound cards were invented some 20 years ago.

[kriskamerer86]

36 also seemed to work for me. I am running 4.3u and 249 wouldn't work

[goofygooberaustin]

FUFUFUFUFUUFUFUFUFU!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[menugrid]

how do you get wad installer and wad uninstaller??

[DarkWings143]

@menugrid Yo, you can download them on Homebrew channel on Utilities. :)

[nintendo8681]

@DarkWings143 That's Mii Installer and Mii Extractor.

[DarkWings143]

@nintendo8681 oops, my bad >___<

[scoby228]

[SSBBify]

so i put the wad file in the wad folder, and the wad folder should be in the root of the sd card. got it.

[TyGuY1080]

I have 4.2U what IOS should I use?

[thejohnson331]

on mine it is not avfolder to put things in

[lava322]

Don't bother with this video. The instructions for installation are fine, but you're better off using WAD Manager. Uninstalls and installs WADs together, plus has Final Fantasy Boss Battle music in the background ^.^

[Devilbat74]

@lava322 I can't get Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory DLC wad to install. (It's a Japanese game)

[1337mrblackops]

@Devilbat74 do you have the correct wad?

Make sure you have the right wad for your region

PAL = Europe

NTSC = America

JAP = Japan

[Devilbat74]

@1337mrblackops Eh I figured it out thanks it was something else I was doing wrong. But now I can't get Phoenix Wright wad to install!

[sonypsp05]

it showed on homebrew channel but it did not load. so they both say error.

[Mario60665]

not a valid wii function, crap!

[asdkix3]

[olivialanewest]

Heyyyy

[MajinUber]

IOS36 works for me and i can install Wads as normal now, No need to use other IOS.

[MajinUber]

IOS 249 turns off your remote.

IOS 36 works for me.

I dont like saying this, But thumbs up so everyone gets to see this.

My Wii version is 4.2E

[ATV642]

@MajinUber you probably have a bad version of IOS249. it works fine for me.

I'm also 4.2E

[GazRockK]

[Nadim13344]

Wad Installer seems to not work for 4.3. So use Multi Mod Manager, it works wonders for me on 4.3 and it still installs wad files.

[MattyIXIriva]

[peanutbutteroctopus1]

[2pj2the2best2]

I have an quite hard question...

Well,i had homebrew,but had to update (twice),and now have 4.3E

(Yes i live in europe!)and all my homebrew games and stuff work,but will WAD manager still work?

I can't brick my wii,because it's our wii (my sister and i)

Can you tell me for sure i won't brick my wii?

P.S I installed homebrew on 4.2E,then got to 4.3E.

But when i want to go to my SD card,and load Boot.elf,i get an 004 error:

004 Error:invalid system files.

Any help?

[cantaroroto]

@2pj2the2best2 you'll have to install the homebrew channel again cause the upgrade deleted the hack...you can find several videos here to hack wii 4.3E ... I belive you need Indiana's Game ;) ... good luck

[2pj2the2best2]

@cantaroroto I don't know What is going on in my wii,but everything works perfect!

FOR n00bs! :If you have to update for an game,DON'T UPDATE!!!!!!!!!

Instead,load the game trough gecko os!

I did that and i had NO problems!

[MsGolfplayer]

wad manager 1.5 is better

[funandthegamemaster]

Not a valid wii function on wii 4.3. Help pls!

[mandaxTM]

[StefanKukhuve]

hey, ive just downloaded Sonic 4.WAD and placed it in my wad director, went to the WAD INSTALL/UNISTALL, clicked my way and pressed to install sonic4.wad, it starts and installing some title info and stuff but when it comes to "Installing content s13..." it just stops there and nothing happends, i cant press any buttons so ive restarted my wii but the same probleb occurs....

whats wrong??

i have a softmodded wii, 4.2E

[jerpamithe1]

i myself use wadmanager 1.7

[INCOGNITO664]

yo mr.krips right above me you need your ios at ios35

[corey7144]

@MarkOnAnimalCrossing this won't, but! it's possible. cause I do. what you should do is patch ios 36 for trucea bug and install multiModManager. you can use that to do it. patching the ios can cause some confusion. look that up on google or pm me. :)

[MarkOnAnimalCrossing]

Wii This Work On a 4.3U???

Please Answer!!

[angryscotsman100]

@MarkOnAnimalCrossing

No. And you need some hacks installed before you can do ths. Go to 'wiihacks' for more info

[angryscotsman100]

@640013656 not yet, 4.3 is too recent. you'll prolly stil be ablle to install the hbc but you need a lot more than that to install wads etc

[angryscotsman100]

@Maino97 its easy to install a wad. any ver of wad manager will do (im using an old ver)

those who are experiencing probs must not have prior hacks installed correctly in order to do this

[Maino97]

YOU NEED WAD MANAGER 1.7 (GOOGLE IT) !!!

[MrKrispyhockey]

yo whever i try to select an iso my wii freezes... please help

[DopeTekiquez87]

view my channel for an up to date homewbrew tut for virgin wiis 4.1!

[Freezpopp]

[640013656]

does it work on 4.3?

[MarkOnAnimalCrossing]

ok i got the apps for the wad installer but when i run it, it say that it's a valid wii app!

Ok Anyone Please HELP!!!

[ok373]

@MarkOnAnimalCrossing INVALID



[noscreenname1]

@MarkOnAnimalCrossing 1. install the normal wadmanager

2.REPLACE EVERYTHING THAT SAYS WADMANAGER WITH USBLOADER and install it. the wads themselves are another story.

[theowlsofouterheaven]

@MarkOnAnimalCrossing Same here, did you find a fix? :(

[Tupidude9500]

what gc controller dosnt have a start button!?!?!

[TarkinMX]

For those that are complaining about this, take a look at how old the video is. This guy posted his video 2yrs ago, there's much better software to use now and even newer versions of the software that he's using.

[Elements90]

[SSBBify]

[Andrei2000PC]

Ya i have a crazy friend who is scared of everything.

Read the Terms of Use and Agreement

for the wii. All this does is voids the warranty. As you are adding third-party stuff to the Wii. let it be Homebrew or Wads. Nothing the law can do as it would be a invasion of privacy. As stated in the Terms of Use for the Wii.

[mfhotwheels1]

you post this comment on every wad video! i keep thinking ive seen the same vid over and over again.

[AntRocksO7]

its not avalid wii app

[megagamer551]

When I downloaded this and put it on my SD card, it just said "This is not a valid Wii file" HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ACubeDude]

I got that message too :-( I wish there was a installer for new homebrew channel.

If anyone can find one than post the link PLEASE. I am dying to install this wad that i downloaded!!!!!!!!!

[clockwise16912]

omg its just rapidshare dont waste your time on this vid

[ChReNiC]

Can you PLEASE use something other than RapidShare? It's only a moneyhog that forses you to pay to actually download stuff.

[kolptin567]

YES. You absolutely MUST have the right region. Otherwise, brick'd.

[M1zw1z]

How do i get it to read it from the sd card, all i get is a blue screen

[noeX555]

some wiis cant read sd card with a lot of space or you have the lock on

[anythinggoesjoe]

why would u want to do this if u could just download the snes emulator on your wii and play street fighter turbo or whatever game straight from your homebrew

[ThaSupaHeroReD]

how do you do that

[anythinggoesjoe]

im guessing u have the homebrew channel already so you just download the super nes emulator its called ( snes9x ) from your computer or from your homebrew browser app in the homebrew channel ( youtube homebrew browser if u dont know what it is ) and the last step is getting the roms from websites. Google it ( snes roms )

[ThaSupaHeroReD]

yeah that snes9x is already installed in my homebrew............ ok ill try that. thanks

[darkmasterofssbb]

because it is not just for VC it is also for wiiware

[narutoisthebest31]

[saufunnom]

You have to downgrade your version of the homebrew channel

[TihsEpiel]

I love today's technology

[specialkid1000]

If it says that its not a valid wii application, This means, For example, if the app is from someone that has PAL version and you have NTSC-US, you can't use it. You cannot use apps from other versions.

[zapme0]

i got "this is not a wii application"

is there a way to fix this?

[TheMatrixpoophispano]

@zapme0 wad manager

[haloman800]

Downgrade ISO35, then it should work.

[elvss2]

if your firmwear is 4.0 or over you will need to downgrade it

[lilkewldude1]

would 2.1 work?

[dingo931]

lol losers!!!

[Kane388]

[46785687436]

ok i put my sd card in, started homebrew, tried to load wad installer, but instead it says that it is not a valid wii application

[darklee69]

FUCK DUDE the same thing happened to me wtf is going on?? is it because I might have 4.2? damn Im soo damn frustrated bro

[dkcaasi]

Do you now how to unstall the wad

[jdinsmoor]

Hi, once i've installed my wads and they're on the wii channels i go to play them and the text jumps up and down across the screen. Do you know what this problem is and how to fix it? Thanks!

[icecubefosho]

I think you have an NTSC or PAL irregularity. If you have an NTSC Wii/TV, etc, and are using a PAL Wad, you'll see problems. Vice Versa (PAL TV but NTSC Wad).

Make sure you have both NTSC TV/Wii and NTSC wad, or PAL TV/Wii and PAL Wad.

[jdinsmoor]

Apparently it's something to do with the cables and wii virtual console games. One of my N64 games works fine but the others jump around. They are all PAL format as i have a PAL console.

[slayer587154]

after I am done homebrewing, will I be able to take the sd card out of the wii or am I going to leave it there?

[tantarado12]
