It depends. The most famous apps has a WAD file. They are shorcuts from the menu to the homebrew channel. They are called WADs or forwarder channels. You can install them via WadManager.

For example. USBloaderGX (a wii games loader) has a lot of WADs with diferent desings. But if you search for it you will find soon a trustable source, because a defective WAD is dangerous for the wii (tho i've never had any problem ccause normally is easy to find good wads). So you find the USBloaderGX WAD file you like the desing the most. You have to have a carpet on the root of your SD card named "WAD" (without the""). You put it there. You install WadManager (also on your SD card as any other app) and you start it via homebrew channel. You install it and thats it.

There are plenty of tutorials for WadManager. Even here. And also you can find trusty wads practically anywhere. Also here, and they are good. (I can´t give them to you because im level1 on the forum so i cant put links or archives).


That is for the most part. A lot of applications that doesnt have much attention doesnt have a wad. In fact i can answer you because i didnt find anywhere a wad for homebrew game called Wiitrouble. (Homebrew games launched via homebrew channel also can have their wad) so i joined this community to ask if someone coul do it. No one replied xD. (I did it myself then but im refining it before uploading it on the internet).

Thats all i have for you. Im not a pro. But I freed my wii 3 years from now and I can share the little I know. But you have to search for Wad files or forwarder channels to start knowing about that.

No, your English is fine. You explained it the best you can.

Which apps specifically ?

Like ElSena said, popular ones tend to have forwarders made for them. Emulators, hacks like Project M and CTGP, and basic homebrew apps have WADs that can be found with a Google search

Edit: You can also make your own forwarders if you're confident enough, with this link: CustomizeMii Tutorial

Better to build forwarder dols using modmii then injecting them into wads using customize mii

For the WiiTrouble one I did that. The creator of ModMii said this to a person in this forum and its pretty easy to follow his metod. And for customize mii there are also a lot of tutorials, but like i said, it can do a brick (an error for those who dont know) on the wii. A little one i think, ive never had one. But is easy to do. Not the first thing i woul do though. But if you want an specific wad and you dont find it then try.

Search for modmii and how to create a forwarder channel. There is a thread somewhere here

Your program does it way better than CustomizeMii.
What do you mean? To program it directly yourself? How?
