Homebrew Is there a way to check if WADs are safe to use (without a REAL Wii or vWii)?

[InsertInformationHere]

I'm making .WADs for Trogdor: Reburninated and CavEX, plus .BNRs for The Simpsons: Hit and Run and Super Monkey Ball (using CustomizeMii). Is there a computer app or something that can see if these .WADs and .BNRs are safe to use before I install them on a real Wii? Right now I think the Dolphin Emulator Wii Menu might do the trick, but I'm not really sure, since I don't think I can brick (or unbrick) the Dolphin version.

Check their hashes against the nointro database.

Be careful, don't install any system title. I think that the last yawmmod protects you from shooting yourself. https://github.com/modmii/YAWM-ModMii-Edition

I'm not sure about installing wads from other regions.

you could always get the dolphin wii emulator and try wads there first

What @ber71 said.

Running them in Dolphin isn't a guarantee they will run on real hardware.

You'd still be installing things on the actual Wii, but priiloader might be helpful -- I recommend reading about it thoroughly before doing anything though, and asking more questions here about anything you're not sure about. Always exercise caution with anything you do when it comes to this homebrew stuff -- you can never be too careful. It was smart to ask on here before installing these WADs.

Dolphin (or a wii with brick protection)

...But I made the WADs (and .BNRs) myself!

If you're sure the titleID is not one of an existing critical system title (= Wii Menu or its IOS), which is hopefully trivial in this case but can be double checked with ShowMiiWads, the only other problem may indeed be the banner which can be tested risk-free with Priiloader

While I still consider dolphin an inaccurate (by choice) HLE, it should not matter for banner bricks - that's all CPU-side stuff, it doesn't have anything to do with the barely simulated IOS/coprocessor

Did you ever create a WAD for CavEX?
