Hi All and thanks in advance for any help

Im trying to play Fluidity which I have on a WAD

So: WAD2ISO to get Fluitity.ISO
Game manager to get Fluidity.wbfs
Load on to USB device
RUn USB Loader GX v3.0 R1271 to load file.
Get the initial picture then the message "cant find loader.dol"
So what loader.dol do I need and where do I put it?


I've done a recent update so should have most stuff.

Wad 2 iso doesn't convert a WAD to ISO (unlike the same suggests)
it generates an empty ISO (no game data) with only two things : the animated banner extracted from the WAD, and a channel loader.dol to boot the installed wad channel.

it was used a very long time ago to list installed channels into USBloaders, and have a way to launch them directly from the loader.
now loaders are capable of displaying installed channels natively and users don't need to use that "trick" to get the game displayed on their favorite loaders.


so, the error you get is probably because you didn't install the wad on your Wii.
but if it's installed, you don't need wad2iso anymore, just choose to display installed channels.
if you don't want to install the channel on your console's memory, what you are looking for is called emuNAND (install wad to a copy of the NAND, located on SD or USB)
