Okay, here is my problem:

I try to install the NTSC-U WAd of Zelda OoT onto my Wii with WAD Manager 1.1. When the app is about to copy content #9 (largest file, about 35MB), it tells me "Could not read file data ( ret = 0 )". I have no idea what it does mean. I tried downloading the WAD at another location, and compared both WADs. They were the same, but I decided to try and install the new one anyway.

As you can guess, it didn't work and WAD Manager gave me the same error. I have installed countless WADs before (VC and WiiWare) and this is the only one causing trouble. Do you know of any way I could solve this problem?

I thought about using the "Wii System Format" option, but I don't know what it does delete exactly, so I haven't done it yet.

Good idea, it never hurts to try.

Does that mean that WAD Manager, which, as far as I know, is based on WAD Installer, has problems that WAD Installer has not? That'd be weird

EDIT: It worked. thanks! Except that info should be easier to find IMO. I wonder what's the difference between the two installers?

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
