Hacking WAD Creator v1.0

[Screemer]

[putifreak]

Tested it and works fine.

Also now i can easily make IOS Wads.
But i got a few questions:

First i got a random Title:

Name: Unknown Name
(Downloadable Content)
Title ID: 00010001-4E415250
Version: 0
Size: 41.17MB

When i want dump that i get an error ret -106.

Thats strange.
This thing is Majoras Mask (PAL).
But i dont have it on my Wii -> i copied to my SD Card.

I think its because the Title (.tmd) is still present in Nand.



Another i dont know:
Name: BC
ID: 00000001-00000100
Version: 5
Size: 0.02 MB

Dump works

Someone knows what that is? Gamecube part



Also dumping cIOS (249 and 250) makes an error (-1017).
But the Wad will be on the SD Card! Same of me
Checked it but it seems the Wad isnt okay (Wii Wad Data Info).



Another strange Channel:
Region Select

What is that? an hidden channel (can find on some iso with wiiscrubber too) determin your region don't mess with such thing


Also the foto channel and news channel are 2 times on my wii. there is two part a smaller one wich is needed (a core I think) and the big one...the updated part
But on my Wii Menu is just 1.
Can i uninstall the old Version? no you will lose it (i've done it because i don't need it and i already have the wad to reinstall them)

Ah and i noticed a Channel called EULA. Can i uninstall that too? no i think you'll have problem (but maybe it's a good way to avoid update: without EULA you don't give consentment so they cannot update

) but DON'T TRY



This is an awesome tool.
Thanks for help.

what's wrong with the current wad manager?

Wad manager allows you do install/uninstall WADs. This lets you extract the WADs that are installed on your Wii.

Example, if you want IOS36 from you Wii you can use this app. If you want to install IOS36 to you Wii you'd use WadManager.

You can delete out of region EULA and RGNSEL... no problem, I did it in my ntsc-j->pal converted wii...

Here, they are in the hidden channels sub section...

Duh, I know, but someone posted why Waninkoko didn't update Wad Manager... I responded to that post

True, sorry. I was just skimming through and trying to help.

Quote next time? It'll make it easier to understand.

So is it possible to just extract the homebrew channel to a wad, and install it on a 4.0 wii through the new Sd card functions, and thereby play copy games?

Good question. I cant imagine it would be that easy. But you never know.

no, cause you need a way to open wad manager, which generally means through hbc. all this does is make it easier to make wads (i think)

 

[gunslinger]

I think HAXX Title hbc as content.bin on your SD card. Converts to a WAD ^^

 

[Vidboy10]

With This, can you rip the System Menu wad?

I don't see how. Extracting the HBC to a wad seems like an extra useless step. What would you use to install the WAD on the unhacked Wii? You still need Wad Manager for that, and you can't use that unless you have the HBC installed, or Twilight Hack, or a chip...

What you would try is moving the HBC to SD card on a hacked 4.0 Wii, then taking that SD card and it's 'private' folder over to a hacked Wii and seeing if you could run it from there. I'm guessing, without having read everything there is to read about how the system deals with channels copied over to SD, that it doesn't work either else we'd already have 5 billion threads about it.
