Hacking Making a WAD Installer ISO

[paul1991]

Did you use the dol2elf converter?

Tried getting this to work on a 3.3U NTSC Wii with a Wiikey chip 1.9s

I used Trucha signer on Madden 09 and opened up the 2nd partition of the ISO. However, the only "main.dol" file is in the SYSTEM directory. After replacing, signing, and burning the ISO the Wii tells me there's an error. Any ideas? Oh and I'm trying to do this with WAD Installer v2.1

taiguy, are you trying to boot the disc through the Disc Channel? If so, the game uses the signing bug, and will not boot on the 3.3 firmware. You will need to use GeckoOS, or even Ocarina, to boot the disc on the 3.3 firmware.

Also, I'm not quite sure what you mean, but the WAD Installer is only for installing WADs onto your Wii. It would have nothing to do with Madden 2009.

Ahhh... it's not supposed to boot on the new firmware. Gotcha.

I was using the Madden 09 disc image as my container for the WAD Installer

I'm at the download page for GeckOS, but can't figure out which of the images on this list I need

Gecko OS 1.06d for Wii

That is the newest version of GeckoOS for the Wii. Also, if you haven't already, you may want to install the Homebrew Channel.

Can I install GeckOS without using the twilight princess hack?

Can I install GeckOS without using the twilight princess hack?

No, not with the 3.3 firmware.

EDIT: Also, the version that I linked to will not install onto your Wii console. I believe that there is a WAD version available, but I don't have the link to it.

 

[taiguy]

oh man. what a pain.

so what are my options then? I actually do have twilight princess (somewhere...)

the end goal is to be able to install the Smash 64 .wad

 

[g4jek8j54]

With the 3.3 firmware, your only option is the Twilight Hack, unless you have the Homebrew Channel installed. There is a downgrader available, but again, it would first require the Twilight Hack or Homebrew Channel.

EDIT: Also, if you don't already have one, and don't have the Homebrew Channel, you would need an SD card.

EDIT 2: Actually, the WAD Manager would probably require an SD card anyway.

If you have a modchip, just download Twilight Princess, it will work.

The last version of WAD Manager uses USB devices too.

Can I use this to install an IOS on a 4.2 firmware?
