[Supamanu]

So if i install the wads, can i then delete the installer and stuff or is the installer file just located on the sd card?

Hi all help needed
I followed the guid to the letter but cant get anything to display on the sd card...I tested things by copying my backed up data.bin and got my saved games so I think the sd card and dir stucture are ok also I tried all 4 zelda hack files but still sd card not showing anything
I have a pal wii with the latest wiinja delux chip

If you have a PAL Wii, you likely have the PAL Zelda, which means you use the rzdp.bin file, which you MUST rename to data.bin in order for it to show up in the Wii's Save Management menu.

thank you for your reply ...I did rename this pal file to data.bin but it just will not show up...also I used a different sd card but no joy

I had the same problem.

I renamed the file data (that's without the .bin at the end) and it showed up :/

Remember to format the card to FAT16 and DONT USE FAST FORMAT!
I actually recommend the SD Card format software,
http://www.sdcard.org/about/downloads/sdfv2000.exe

I used it, then I got my card working with the TP hack! =)

Thank you very much naming the file just data and not data.bin as the guide says worked

The reason is not because the guide is wrong, but you have your extensions hidden in Windows.

In any folder in Windows:

Tools -> Folder Options
View Tab
Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"

Directory = Folder.

it wont let me set a folder with the "/" character in it though does that matter?

 

[~De arimasu]

It doesn't mean you make a folder called private/wii/title/RZDx/

It means you make a folder called RZDx which is in the title folder which is in the wii folder which is in the private folder...

WHy would you want a folder with "/" in it? No it doesn't matter...

 

[AXBAXMIT3000]

because the guide says:"make a directory called "/private/wii/title/RZDx/""

 

[AXBAXMIT3000]

ah right right right......
so its a folder within a folder etc....
thanks very much

im having trouble getting the "wiibrew" folder onto the sd card when i go into data management on the wii.i created folders private/wii/title/RZDP(its a pal console and game) and renamed the RZDP file in the twilight hack to data.bin and put it in the folder.
its twilight-hack-v0.1-alpha2 if that makes a diference

Updated to use the Wad Manager instead of the Wad Installer and Uninstaller.
Also added a guide to installing the Homebrew Channel, and how to Install VC Games using the Homebrew Channel.

EDIT: Thanks Praetor192, fixed.

Nicely done, but check steps 12 and 13 of HBC VC install guide. Lots of weird stuff going on there.
