Hey guys, I was trying to install the Crystal Defenders R1 WAD using WAD Manager 1.3 and on Content #2 it waits a bit then gives me Error! (Ret = -1).

I updated to 4.0 using Waninkoko's updater but it's still doing the same thing >=(

Other WADs seem to install/uninstall fine so... what gives?!

Installed IOS 38, 53, 55 -- still the same problem

tried with a modified 1.3 loader that lets you choose IOS but nothing is working >=( tried 2 different SD cards too

OK-- Using the 1.3 mod I chose IOS 250 and this finally let me install the damn thing... whew!

Side note - I used a 4gb micro sd with the standard sd around it that wouldn't read (fat errors in 1.3 regular) that finally read with the modified 1.3 and that's where I installed from. The other sd card i was using was only 64mb -- im not sure if it needs space to extract files or what, but the 4gb with modified was my winning combo!

any chance you could add the specific tools you used for this install.
i tried last night with wad manager 1.3, the channel was added succesfully, however when i hit "start" on the menu screen it resets the wii instead of playing the thing.

thx in advance

That's usually a sign that you're missing required IOS files. Happened to be with Beat.Trip.Beat until I installed ISO53.

nvm i read a bit about it and as i have my wii currently it seems that the way to solve this is with wanin's firmware updater 4, which is a step that i'm not quite sure if im ready to make.
3.2 atm and too scared of any stuff post that.

ok sorry to keep this conversation with myself and not letting the post die.
this is the last reply i promise.

just to let you know guys Crystal Defenders does need IOS-55. i installed it and hasnt given me any issues in any of my other apps (HBC, USBL, BackupL, etc etc)

it can be installed via wad manager from the file IOS55-64-v4633.wad,
is also needed for Sonic and the black knight, Need for Speed Undercover and Onslaught (PAL).

I'm having trouble with installing WADs as well. Sometimes I get the ret -2011 error on te WAD manager 1.3 and ret=-1 for WAD manager 1.5
However, I"m not having trouble with Crystal Defenders, it's with strong bad episode 2. My wii is 4.0 with wanikoko's updater.
