Hacking Wii/Homebrew installing games "Not enough free space"

[Cyan]

if you are missing UNEO, you didn't install the forwarder channel correctly.
you said you did... but you didn't.

Yes I did. I have the USB Loader GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad inside the apps folder.

No !
having the .wad file on SD card is NOT enough!


You have to use a WAD manager (YAWMM for example, the one I linked to you) to EXTRACT (install) the .wad's content and copy the content into your console's memory.
that internal data located ON YOUR CONSOLE (not the SD) will be represented as a channel installed on your system menu.

once installed INTO your console (and not just copied on your SD), then the wad file on your SD card is not needed or used anymore. you can delete the wad and the wad manager AFTER you successfully installed it as a channel on your home menu.


the wad file is like a zip on computer, but a zip for the wii or vWii.
that wad file contains multiple files insides and information where to install it into the console (the channel's banner, the channel's name, the channel's executable, etc.)

launch YAWMM, select the wad located in your wad folder and choose "install" to .. well .. install it.




If you have " USB Loader GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad" on your SD card ....
That's WRONG !!!

you are in the WiiU section of the forum, so I suppose you are using a WiiU, so you want the "vWii" version ! TotalInsanity also supposed you were using vWii, as he asked me if there were a compatible vWii version to help you.
if you install the Wii version on vWii ... no wonder it just return to the menu and doesn't work.

I do not have a Wii U. I have a Wii. I said this in my original post "I have Homebrew installed on my Wii (ver 4.3U)."

So which files do I need for my "Wii" ?

then, since the beginning we are giving you information for vWii, because you posted in the wiiu section.
I moved your thread to the Wii section.

For Wii, you need the one you already have, so it's good.

The wad manager works on both wii and vWii.

How do install these things as full channels? Be cool to have them on the main menu where I can just click on them. I've seen videos where people have even the USBLoader and different console games on the Wii menu.

I don't suggest doing that.
It's much better to put homebrew on the USB HDD. The forwarder channel will find the homebrew on USB and load it from there.

Yeah, until I can find a better way to do this I'll just leave things as they are. At least I can use the HD and install my games on it from the Wii. That's good enough for now.
