[ WADder ]
Current Version: 1.1.1 (Release on December 23, 1008 at 1:30 PST)
WADder is a easy to use channel creator. It creates channels from just a DOL, a few images, and a name. Comes with an installer and easy GUI.

Instructions:
- Install AS AN ADMINISTRATOR!.
- COPY COMMON-KEY.BIN TO C:\WADDER\
- Run WADder from your desktop
- Enter values for the options.
--- Pay special attention to the Title ID field: this MUST be different for EACH channel on your Wii
--- You must enter something for every option.
--- Do not enter fancy characters for the Channel Name.
--- Banners and icons do not need a special size, they will be internally resized.
--- Sound must be a WAV file, or click silent to not use any sound.
--- Check to disable splashscreen if you want to watch the WADder magic . The splash is a nice coverup to the messy process of making a wad.
- Click Create WAD! and wait for it to ask you where to save the wad.
- Choose where and press save! The names of the WADs are CHANNEL_NAME-TITLEID.
- Choose where to save the images too. They are [channel name]-[banner/icon/logo].jpg.

Please post the WADs you make with this in the WADder Channel Releases thread!

omg this great
im gonna try this out

 

Anyone who uses Linux, go in a terminal and type "sh setupwadder.exe"

It makes the font look so cool and impossible to understand.

 

well done fella lol ive been waiting in the other thread

 

Only if you make bad banners yourself.

Like all of the other channel makers.

 

my first time making a wad and it worked no bricking

 

does this inject a dol then? (select dol)
thought it was just like an gui for the banner tools

so i can just
add name
add id
pick dol
banner blah blah
and it will pack into a wad

or did i miss something there lol

 

Wow, I just tried this and it was funny watching it work its magic. Only I ran into a problem when it tried to name files. I had to manually edit the file location as it was missing C:\wadder at the beginning of some of the files it tried to save.

BTW I'm on vista.

 

that wouldn't affect it just don't press keys or click the mouse or move the mouse

 

I see what this does now, basically it just runs a bat file called injectdol which somewhat automates the process.
