I'm certain that I'm missing something brutally obvious, but here it is.

I've successfully installed the homebrew channel and I've got a handfull of homebrew apps running correctly through it.

I'm trying to unpack a few wad files but I can't get the homebrew channel to display any of the wad installers that I can find. I've tried wad installer 1.0, 2.0 & 2.1 as well as wad manager 1.3.

I'm placing the wad installer applications in the apps folder of my SD card and have the WAD files themselves in a folder called wad in the root.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: forgot to say earlier - I have been putting the wad installers in a subdirectory within the apps folder called 'wadinstaller'

every .wad has to be renamed to boot.dol?
Heck no! dol files have to be called boot.dol for the Homebrew Channel to find them. Wad files can be called "whatever you want".dol but ideally be in the sd:\wad folder.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    An app exists for Android called Rekado which is a payload injector for the RCM exploit to work. Don't know if it's still active.

    @imafsiry, What method? Phone or RCM Loader?
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @imafsiry You just install Rekado to your phone and then plug your Switch into your phone when it's in RCM mode. Rekado should automatically pop up on your phone and ask which payload you want to send.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @imafsiry You can also set it to auto launch the payload of your choice so no user input is even necessary.

  • TotalJustice @ TotalJustice:
    thats what i use also. works better if you launch hekate from rekado as you won't need to update the payload

  • TotalJustice @ TotalJustice:
    as hekate launches the latest payload on the sd card (unless the sent payload is newer)
