Wad file and installation

[blunay]

Hello everyone.
Is it possible to be able to play wiiware-virtual console games on wii without having to install wads?
Let me explain what I would like: I have the entire library of wiiware-virtual console games (about 40gb) and I would like to be able to easily install/copy them all in one go on wii.
If it is not possible to use them as such, what fast and safe method is there to install the entire wad library on wii?
thank you for your help

If you install a complete WiiWare VC wad set to the system menu you will need to patch your system menu ios and then install some games and then move the games to the sd card menu and then install some more and it will take forever so you should use an emunand on USB Loader GX or Wiiflow and the easy way to batch install wads to emunand is with showmiiwads.

Hi Worm
I thank you for your response.
Can you point me to a step by step guide on how to install an emunand on usb?
Other thing: I have 2 hdds connected to the wii. At port 0 I have the hdd with wii games in WBFS format while in port 1 I have the hdd with Gamecube games in image format. In theory I should install on HDD 1 the emunand, correct?
thank you for the info

Create "wad" folder on root SD card. Copy all wad files to "wad".

USB Loader GX > Features Settings > Dump NAND > Everything.

Loader Settings > EmuNAND Channel >Full

Exit setting > 4th icon on top (Select Loader Mode) > stick EmuNAND Channels

Features Settings > EmuNAND WAD Manager > Folder > OK > Install > Coffee time.

Installing wads to emunand using GX is not advised until after its next update, as it currently does not handle shared content properly.

Use showmiiwads (or modmii) instead for now

Next version is USB GX or 4.4E something, and when?

Modmii edition can install to emu nand? Thank you.

ANother thing: where the wad files will be installed with your suggestion? un sd card or on HDD? and in this last case which HDD, port 0 or 1?
thank you again
