Homebrew I found all the Wii-VC wads for N64! But should I install them?

I was looking online trying to find a way to download The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time VC for my vWii and I found a wad for it.

Should I install it with Wad Manager or will I get bricked? Because I was told that you shouldn't install Wii wads on a vWii because it would brick.

Do you have a BootMii NAND backup? Before installing anything to a wii that requires Homebrew, I suggest that you have a extra NAND backup on hand.

If it's legitimate, it probably won't brick your vWii. Only install WAD files from trusted sources. Legitimate WiiWare and VC WAD files are usually harmless on the vWii.

Yeah trusted sources are important. It's usually best to stick to them. I'm pretty sure you can even test the WADS on a Dolphin emulator since a vWii is basically like that. I'm also pretty sure Letterbomb does the same for vWiis and Dolphin Emulator, just different SD work. Test with a PC first!

Also, why are you installing Ocarina of Time on the vWii? You can install Ocarina of Time on the Wii U itself, and you get a lot more options.

Most likely for nostalgic purposes, or it just fits better and probably works better on the Wii version?

I have a nand.bin and keys.bin saved is that good enough?

I decided to simply install the wad using Wad Manager and it worked, I found a download list of all the VC game wads its pretty dope.

I installed the Wad on a EmuNand using ShowMiiNands and ran the game on the EmuNand using USBLoaderGX and it ran fine, so I installed the wad on the SysNand using Wad Manager.

HOW!?

Yes! That is just perfect! you need those files to restore the NAND if it ever gets bricked!

HOW!?

Ocarina of Time was released for the Wii U VC. Download it, and then install it with your favorite WUP installer. The graphics aren't any better, but you have more controller options and saving options.
