So I downloaded a WAD file that claims to be a full version GC game.....The WAD is only a MB in size....I found this suspicious and did not want it on my Wii until I knew more about it (Still fairly new to hacking Wii's lol). So if a GC game can be converted into a WAD? What is the average file size?

Yeah...

I'm pretty sure that's not a GC game. While they use mini-dvd's, and while some wii games drop into the hundreds of MB's (or lower for stuff like Netflix)...

You aren't gonna find anything short of a gameboy game for that size.

Definitely not a full GC game. GC games several hundred MB in size. Also, GC games can't be packed into wads.

As for what it is, it could be anything. All I know is that I wouldn't want it on my wii.

If you want, PM me the file and I'll take a look at it and figure out what it actually is. I'm kinda curious now. Do not post a link here since it may be warez.

Got a PM from him.

The channel has title ID REWE, uses IOS33, and has 3 app files (0.app - 2.app).

* The banner is custom made, and identifies the channel as "re4 Wii Edition".
* The DOL is an outdated USB loader DOL which launches title ID RB4P08
* The NANDLoader is non-Nintendo, so either comex's or Wanin's.

In short, it's a USB forwarder channel with a custom banner.

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.

    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive

    How are you doing?

    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
