This version is great. Installed over 10 games at once ^^

The title of the .wads dosn't matter. Call them whatever you want.

6a) Press 1 & 2 until it detects your wii mote.

the program freezes, i pressed the 1&2 button for over a minute and i got no prompt to press A, what am i doing wrong, anyone help? also when i reset the Wii the white writing was stuck on my TV for a few seconds, even in the wii menu, is this normal?

I'd format the SD card you're using, to ensure its FAT16 and not FAT32 (remember to choose FAT16 when formatting it)

ah i see, i thought 1.03 alpha has support for fat 32? that is what it says on their wikpedia web page?

edit: yeah it worked first time, and with version 2 wad installer you don't even need to press and hold the 1&2 buttons down, just press the reset button once and it installs.

Ok so let me get this right, i have gotten the VC games i want to install,

i need to rename the title.wad tio name of the VC game
I then need to format a SD card to FAT16
Make a folder on the SD card called 'WAD'
Copy all VC games i want to install into the WAD folder
Copy Wad-installer.elf & wad-installer.dol to the root of the SD

now what do i need to do?, do i need to build & burn a WAD Installer ISO, run the dvd in the wii with above SD card in and it will install the VC game??

you DONT need the wad-installer.dol

you name the wad-installer.elf = boot.elf
then you use the twilight hack to start the elf file.

Ok, so what is all this talk about people needing keys, is it just for people who are trying to dump their won VC games? Also can i use a WAD Installer ISO DVD instead of Zelda, as i dont have this game

Question about the multi Wad installing. When I create the folder called WAD, do I then have to create another folder with the name of the WAD I'm stalling within it for each title.wad I want to install?

No, just putting the WAD files in the 'WAD' called folder will be enough. You don't have to rename or refolder anything. That's so WAD Installer V1

Yeah but I don't think I can put 5 "title.wad" files into one folder. Unless I can rename them?

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
