How To: Receive WAD Files Over WiFi Through USB Loader GX and Install/Uninstall Them

FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY!

What you will need:

• Your Wii's IP address (see below for details)
• WiiLoad
• This guide is for Windows only. I don't use Linsux
  

• [1] Download WiiLoad from the above link and extract the contents
  [2] Copy/Move wiiload.exe to C:\Windows\System32\
  [3] Open Notepad and copy the following into it:
  
  

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  
  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.WAD]
  @=""
  
  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.WAD\shell]
  
  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.WAD\shell\Send to Wii!]
  
  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.WAD\shell\Send to Wii!\command]
  @="c:\\windows\\system32\\wiiload.exe \"%1\""

  
  [4] Save the file as "wiiload.reg"
  [5] Double click the file and accept entering the entries into the registry
  [6] Boot up your Wii and load GX. Goto the Homebrew Launcher and hover over the WiFi Wii icon. A tooltip will pop up showing your IP address. Make a note of it.
  [7] Set the environment variable by going to your computer's Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables, then click "new" under either category. The variable name is WIILOAD and the value is tcp:yourIP, where yourIP is the Wii's IP/hostname. Click "OK" here and in System Properties.
  [8] Now leave your Wii on the GX Homebrew Launcher screen. On your PC, right click on a .WAD file and you should now see a "Send to Wii!" option. Click on this and watch the magic work at the Wii end of business
  
  
  [9] Optional Step: Double click on a .WAD file and choose c:\windows\system32\wiiload.exe as the application to open it. Now double clicking .WAD files will send them to your Wii.
  [10] To uninstall, simply send the same .WAD file to the Wii.

Use your noggin when dealing with WAD's. I won't be held accountable for any misuse

Hi i know this has been asked before...but i am having one minor issues with house of the dead 2. I used cios 222 with the ios blocker enabled. I can get to the main screen of the game that lets me choose HOD2 or HOD3. I pick HOD2 and it loads fine. Problem comes in when i exit the game. I come back to the main screen and when i select HOD2 again. I get blacked screened. Is there anyway to fix this. I can only get the game to load once. When i try again...it is just black screened. I am using the current usb gx loader.

just threw the latest one on my SD but I'm unable to unlock it...
can't seem to find an answer anywhere

nice, found it yourself?
shall I add it to the readmii?

I have a possible new idea for a feature(s), I figure I would get some feedback before posting over at the proper place.

How about a built in FTP server, I know it gets away from the plan USB Loader aspect, but I think it fits will with the system menu replacement idea. I'm thinking maybe a way of FTPing over the isos similar to how the WADs are sent currently. I know this system worked great with the xbox replacement dashes, tho it may not be as important since the 2 main storage mediums (USB and SD) can easily be connected directly to the computer but it would make life easier if your computer and wii were in different rooms. Anyways just an idea.

Sending ISO over WiFi has been discussed before in other topics. I like the idea, but it would be too slow in practice, that's the general consensus.

There is some interesting talk in the GX IRC channel about NAND emulation and ram disks. The future looks promising!

I understand it would be slower, but I dont think much slower these are just some rough numbers. Max throughput of USB2.0 480Mbs, Max of 802.11g 54Mbs, USB2.0 is roughly 9x faster. It takes 5 mins to install a game via USB so it should take around 45 mins to do it via wireless, quite a bit longer I will agree and still more than the 20 mins it takes to rip it from disc via the wii, but if the original disc is scratched and all I have is the iso on the computer then it would take me about 20 mins to burn it to DVD-R and then another 20 to rip it on the wii that puts you at 40 mins which isn't far off the the 45 via wireless and you haven't wasted a DVD-R. I know those are just some rough numbers but you get the idea. Also I am not sure of the ins and outs of the WBFS but I am thinking that the difference between sending regular files over FTP and extracting an iso is probably pretty similar and the work would mostly be done on the computer end.

Anyway enough of the off topic talk, great job to all the coders

What about using a WBFS manager to put the ISO on the USB stick with the computer?

 

[jakejm79]

True, but how would you get it from the USB stick to USB HDD, also I was more figuring this for moving files around the SD/USB HDD, I know it can be done with FTPii but if you don't have to load an additional program it will make it easier.

 

[giantpune]

your math may seem right on paper, but when done in the real world with a real wii, it took 6 hours for 1 game. And that wasn't even ssbb. Way to slow to be worth putting in. You're better off just moving your HDD to your pc.

What from USB stick to HDD?
You just use the manager to put the iso directly on the HDD
or else, a wbfs manager can copy games from wbfs to wbfs

Why don't you try r665

[offtopic]
Probably won't help but place this
CODE

in your sig (at the end). It should make the bottom letters visible (its a fix for letters that fall off).
But probably your sig is just to big
