In the readme.txt it says You can copy the IOS-WAD-Files to the root of an SD-CARD or USB-Device for offline-installation.

My question:

How does Pimp My Wii uses these WAD-Files?

For example if the IOS in the wad files are not trucha signed and i choose to trucha sign the IOS, does Pimp My Wii unpack the wad trucha sign it and repack/apply it? Or does Pimp My Ride blind install the wad-files?

LMFAO!!! it wants you to delete a IOS rather than the author just have it not check that IOS or figure out why it crashes. that sounds like a good idea. i guess it's a good thing IOS70 doesn't make this crash, too.

Could anybody answer that? Maybe the author?

I still don't get the purpose of this...there's DOP-IOS MOD, a great App which can do all the things this can, probably even more, and better. Shure, you can now yell at me "BUT IT'S N00B-Friendly!!!", but hell, if you don't know that much about your Wii, and simply let an app do the work, you shouldn't hack it. Hacking isn't "Press a Button and done", it involves research and knowing what you are doing...and that's why I think this app is gratuitous.

And now, that this Post isn't pure rant:
@fuxxi: It will unpack the WAD anyways, because this is how WADs are installed. If you now say you want the Trucha-Bug, it should apply it (if the App works like promised).

Hmmmmm. I would try this, but I don't want to have to delete IOS 202, so i guess I'll have to pass.
Maybe the author can get this issue figured out in a future release.

Great idea for a program though

What exactly are You going to tell me by Your posting?

I dont want to use DOP-IOS MOD, as You dont want to drive Mercedes. I know everything about my Wii and I can do all manually. But this is easy and fast.. perfect. You know.. this saves time (which You have too much it seems), so I can do other things instead.

This app is perfect.. if You know, what You are doing and dont have as much time as "Blue-K"!


Btw I use Dop-Ios MOD for special things it fits.. but for an untouched wii Pimp my Wii is just what You need
