All Wii Wads

On a Wii up to 4.1 What you need:

Jun 04, 2011 I have Wii Mod Lite and the Homebrew channel all set up but I'm having troubles find the Wii wads I want. I'm looking for Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort in specific. If you can direct me to a play I can download them, I'd appreciate it. Wad Archive is the largest collection of WAD information on the web with 787.39 GB available to download. Instantly search over 81,000 WADs for WAD links, screenshots, map listings and more with the index growing daily. Nintendo Wii WAD files are like a zip or cab file on PC that contain a full set of files for installing an.app (application, program, game). The main purpouse of Wii WAD files is to install custom made channels and cIOS, but they are also considered to be an equivalent of the ROM and ISO files majority of which are warez.

  • SD card (1gb is good enough)
  • Latest version of Wad Manager (mirror) (current version 1.3)
  • Wiiware/VC Games in the form of .wad files

How to:

Once you have downloaded the wad file, copy and paste the file into the new WAD folder in your SD card. Now, place your SD card into your wii and go to the wad manager app on the homebrew channel. Press A then select Wii Sd memory. Select the wad you want to install, then press + After its done installing, press the home button to restart. Download the WAD manager and extract the pack to your computer, then copy the apps folder to the SD card, merging it with the existing apps folder. Put the wads you want to install in the 'wad' folder on the SD card/USB device.

  1. Download a Wad Manager (or use link above) and put it in the “apps” (no quotes) folder in the ROOT of your SD card.
  2. Once you download a .wad file of your choice, make a “WAD” (all caps no quotes) folder in the ROOT of your SD Card and put your downloaded .wad files there.
  3. Turn on your Wii and run the Hombrew Channel.
  4. Load Wad Manager and choose SD Card and install the .wad file that you want.
  5. Once it is finished installing go back to the Wii Menu and your .wad should be added as a channel like you would’ve bought the game.

This is ideal because if you are still using Wii64 emulator you can use this method and the loading times are as fast as a bought VC game. Win7 activator 5.0 download. Enjoy .

WAD Manager

When you hear about WADs, people are talking about files with the file extension 'wad'. WADs can contain a lot of data. Mostly, this data is a channel or IOS file. It might be handy to know how to install them.

WARNING
Make sure you get your WAD's from a reliable source! And always have BootMii and/or Priiloader before installing a WAD you're not sure about!
