Hacking WiiWares - Help

[mateustunes]

Hello everyone, I need some help.
I followed the guide from wiiu . hacks . guide/ and managed to hack my Wii U and vWii. I think I did everything right, because I was able to install games using the WUP Installer (Wii U) and USB Loader GX (vWii), run Gamecube games using Nintendont, etc.

The problem is installing the WiiWares games, I can't do it at all. I followed some posts that recommend installing apps like YAWMM and WiiMod Lite, but these apps always give me an error when I select to install the .wad.

Using YAWMM, the screen freezes at "installing game, please wait".
Using WiiMod Lite, it gives a -4100 error (ticket error).

Please, what to do to be able to install the WiiWares .wad on the vWii?

Very grateful to anyone who can help me!

There's this tool to convert WADs to be compatible with vWii: https://gbatemp.net/download/convert2vwii.37159/
If YAWMM and Wii Mod Lite doesn't work for you, then instead use Multi-Mod Manager.

He's speaking about WiiWare (digital) games, NOT forwarders, so using Convert2vWii is useless for these.

However, trying using Multi-Mod Manager could be an option if YAWMM and Wii Mod Lite doesn't work.

Also, be sure the WADs aren't corrupted.

I know about WiiWare, its just that installing WADs designed for the original Wii in mind can brick the vWii mode.

Lol, all original Wii Virtual Console and WiiWare games can run fine on vWii without any trouble.

I thought that they had to be modified in such a way to work with it, not just forwarders.

Wii VC and WiiWare WADs doesn't even need to be modified for be able to run on vWii mode, however Wii forwarders NEED to be converted (replace its original NAND loader for a vWii NAND loader, such @FIX94's one) for be able to use on vWii.

Alright, thanks. Suppose it only applies to fake-signed WADs in mind.

But what if it was custom VC WADs though?

It didn't work either, it seems more a problem with my system than a problem with the apps.

The app that describes a more specific "solution" is WiiMod Lite.
"Try with AHBPRO mode or an IOS with the correct permissions."

But I've already tested the installation by selecting several different IOS, but none work. AHBPRO appears enabled in some as well. The .wad files are ok.

Custom Wii VC & WiiWare (including those Adobe Flash injects) WADs also work fine on vWii without modifying anything.

Pinging @XFlak, maybe he can help you with your problem.

I think the op problem lies with YAWMM. I could never get that to work and always relied on the old wad manager 1.7 or something.

Have you tried another wad manager?

Do you want to install the Wiiware titles in the NAND or in an EMUNAND?
With usbloadergx you can create an emunand and also install wad files.
If that doesn't work either, I'd say it's either the wad files or a problem with a missing/outdated cIOS.
You can also upload a syscheck........

I've use MMM for years and it has always been good. Wii Mod Lite crashes a LOT when it comes to installing WADs, even the WAD Manager by Waninkoko doesn't do any good for me.

I agree with this. I can't give links, but there are at least two repositories for wads .

Thanks!
