Wads for vwii

It depends on which wads.
If it's for Virtual Console Games, then you can just use whatever .wad. Avoid .wads that can cause a banner brick though.
If you want to use injects, my advice is just inject them yourself without changing banner and you'll be fine.

I use the same VC wads as I did for the normal Wii and it worked just fine for the Wii U's vWii.
The only thing is PAL/NTSC issue on vWii. You can easily bypass it by using Wiiflow.

I've installed tons of wads of all different kinds and have been fine, VC, Wiiware, Homebrew forwarders. I would say it should be fine, just stay away from VC injects... those things are always sketchy.

@thekarter104
Thank you for the help but i still have some questions and yes its for Virtual Console:

If it's for Virtual Console Games, then you can just use whatever .wad. Avoid .wads that can cause a banner brick though.

How do i know if the banner of the .wad has the correct image size so i don't get a bannerbrick?
What are Injects?

As in the vWii stickies, installing WADs presents a risk for bricking, even VC and Wiiware.

I have plenty of VC wads installed on my vWii with no issue. It's fine.

The only wads you need to be careful with are forwarders - only use forwarders designed for vWii. And obviously don't mess with your IOSes.

@sj33 Ok thank you !

 

[sj33]

Don't forget that if you want to use different region VC games, you need to patch the wad file before installing.

 

[Der_Blockbuster]

@sj33 Do you know how i can do that?
