How To: Receive WAD Files Over WiFi Through USB Loader GX and Install/Uninstall Them
FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY!
What you will need:
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:
Code: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.
