In the readme.txt it says You can copy the IOS-WAD-Files to the root of an SD-CARD or USB-Device for offline-installation.

My question:

How does Pimp My Wii uses these WAD-Files?

For example if the IOS in the wad files are not trucha signed and i choose to trucha sign the IOS, does Pimp My Wii unpack the wad trucha sign it and repack/apply it? Or does Pimp My Ride blind install the wad-files?

LMFAO!!! it wants you to delete a IOS rather than the author just have it not check that IOS or figure out why it crashes. that sounds like a good idea. i guess it's a good thing IOS70 doesn't make this crash, too.

Could anybody answer that? Maybe the author?

I still don't get the purpose of this...there's DOP-IOS MOD, a great App which can do all the things this can, probably even more, and better. Shure, you can now yell at me "BUT IT'S N00B-Friendly!!!", but hell, if you don't know that much about your Wii, and simply let an app do the work, you shouldn't hack it. Hacking isn't "Press a Button and done", it involves research and knowing what you are doing...and that's why I think this app is gratuitous.

And now, that this Post isn't pure rant:
@fuxxi: It will unpack the WAD anyways, because this is how WADs are installed. If you now say you want the Trucha-Bug, it should apply it (if the App works like promised).

Hmmmmm. I would try this, but I don't want to have to delete IOS 202, so i guess I'll have to pass.
Maybe the author can get this issue figured out in a future release.

Great idea for a program though

What exactly are You going to tell me by Your posting?

I dont want to use DOP-IOS MOD, as You dont want to drive Mercedes. I know everything about my Wii and I can do all manually. But this is easy and fast.. perfect. You know.. this saves time (which You have too much it seems), so I can do other things instead.

This app is perfect.. if You know, what You are doing and dont have as much time as "Blue-K"!


Btw I use Dop-Ios MOD for special things it fits.. but for an untouched wii Pimp my Wii is just what You need

    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.
