The Jargon.
What is a WAD?
A WAD is the Wii's Virtual Console game
format. eg; zelda.wad
What You will Need:
1. A Wii console with a Remote and nunchuck (you don't have to have a modchip for this to work)
The Wii menu version needs to be lower then
v3.3
2. SD Card
3. Zelda Twilight Princess Wii Game (if you
have a modchip a copy will do)
4. This download.'The Auto Install
Package' It contains Pal Games and the install (The auto installer is
above)
and uninstall software needed
5. Some way to
read and write to a SD Card on your computer(A card reader)
What you need to know:
After you update your Wii to the latest update (18/6/08 v3.3) you will not be able to use this methed to install Wads.
But if you install The HomeBrew Channel or HomeBrew luncher to a channel on your wii you will still be able to in stall Wads.
Even after the update.
These games will only work on pal consoles, they
will not work on jap or ntsc consoles.
As always You do this at your
own risk. I have tested this over and over again and have
had no
problems.
Once installed the WADS should be only removed with a WAD
uninstaller(included in the auto installer)
The Steps:
1- If you want to keep old zelda save, copy it to your sd card
now and copy it to
your pc or use a second sd card for the hack. This
hack will delete your old save.
2- Prepare your sd card making sure your sd card is fat not fat32 formatted.
3- copy contents of 'The Auto Install Package'to the root of the sd card
4- Copy the wads you want to install from the 'Temp wads' folder to the wad
directory
The Auto Installer will install all the VC games that are in
the folder called WAD
5- When your happy with your selection of VC games.
Remove sd card and insert into the wii
(Behind the little door thats
below the DVD drive) (Eject the sd card from your computer by right clicking on
the drive
in explorer My computer and click eject (can cause problems
if you don't do this). This is for windows only,
if you are on linux
or mac just right click the sd card on your desktop and click
eject)
6- Turn on the wii, go to data settings, wii console, find
your Zelda save and delete it.
If you never played Zelda before create
a save in the game (the wii needs to have the save
on there at some
point) and go back to the menu and delete it. Go to the sd card and copy
the hacked Zelda save to the wii.
7-Load zelda and you
will see the the hacked save file load it. When you load the save you
will
see a man in front of you. Either talk to him or just turn around
and run backwards, either
way activates the hack.
You will see 2
Options. The first is WADIN This installs WADS to your Wii.
The second is
WADOUT this uninstalls WADS from your Wii
The screen will go black and
will tell you to press reset to start the installer. Do it!
8- If all goes well it will say what it's copying, if you get a bunch of hex
values and the
words "CODE DUMP" then there was an error and you will
need to try copying the files again
or try another sd card. Some
people get this error if they have not ejected the sd card properly.
When its
done it will say press reset to reboot the wii. Do it!
9- Your new channel should be accessable from the menu. It can be removed the same way as you installed them.
helpful hints
Once installed copy the channel to a memory card for easy
install and uninstall next time.
(once installed on a Wii the WAD file will
have the correct encoding for that Wii. So you will be able
to just copy to
and from a memory card with out the need to use the hack above)
