You do know it's a wad installer, not a downloader? You must provide the wads on your sd card for installation and if you have a game in the correct region it will show on your menu once you install it and reboot.

Then something is wrong with your game and/or the conversion process.

Never used crap so no idea what the process is I'm afraid but check your wbfs games are good dumps, even try one from another source and check any updates for crap (which I will assume there none).

Your WBFS file wouldn't work by simply converting a WBFS file to a WAD. Those are two completely different files for separate purpouses.

WAD files are files that are data required for installing Wii channels (not complete game backups, but Virtual Consoles and other WiiWare titles are exclusively WADs), system menus, or firmware updates. WBFS is mostly just a backup disk and such that would require the use of something like USBLoader to boot into. However, when redirecting said games to the actual Wii menu, that I don't know how to do.

so then how do i add games to my home menu then? i did it for a couple other games and they worked.
Like I said, I don't know how to help with that in terms of redirecting WBFS to the homescreen. However, if you have WADs of Virtual Console/Wiiware, then you'd just install it through YAWM
