HOWTO: Extracting WAD files from a pre-existing NAND dump.Ade’s Choice: The best of Wiiware and VC so far.INFO: uLoader 4.5B released along with updated cIOS222.HOWTO: Play WiiWare & VC games via uLoader.Ade’s Choice 51: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.INFO: Download packs updated included uLoader 4.9C.18 is out but I haven’t got round to testing it and I don’t like to release stuff on here without testing it for myself first. You then put the custom ones back on the system in place of the stubs, allowing you to run pirated software and many other types of homebrew. You then use IOS36 along with DOP-IOSs version of any title deleter to remove the stub files that Nintendo put in on the 4.2 update for the cIOS (custom IOS) files that were used for running pirated games. You then use this vulnerably to insert the trucha patch into IOS36, and then put IOS15 back to it’s original version. You downgrade IOS15 to an older version that has a vulnerability. I’ve never had a problem with it personally with anyone’s Wii where I hadto install it, but you may want to read the page and the replies at the bottom.Īs for what we acheived, you pretty much have it right. It’s always nice to have a backup just in case, however if you were unable to install to boot2, you may have to use Priiloader as well, and that can be a tempramental git depending on your how system wants to behave. Then I inserted the SD card back into the Wii, and WAD Manager installed the wads successfully. Since it’s not possible to see hidden files in OSX’ Finder, I had to remove them in terminal: The solution was to remove the hidden ‘dot-slash’ files from the wad folder on the SD-card. Oddly, it seemed like the WAD Manager tried to install the useless ‘dot-slash’ files instead of the actual wad-files, and I got the ERROR (ret=-1) message. I am not sure what the dot-slash files are used for, but probably nothing vital.

The wad files seemed ok, but I came to think of one thing: When using a GUI extractor (and not terminal) to extract the files (which I did), OSX creates a hidden ‘dot-slash’ file corresponding to each visible file on the SD card:įor example, I got both cIOS202-v4.wad and the hidden. I got a bit suspicious, and moved the SD-card back to my Mac, to check the files. (May also apply to other unix-based operating systems, but I’m not sure.)Īt A.6 I got an ERROR (ret=-1) when I tried to install the wad-files.Īdditionally, all the wad files were listed with a size of 0.0MB. I got into a funny pitfall that may be nice to know about for Mac users.
