[ WADder ]
Current Version: 1.1.1 (Release on December 23, 1008 at 1:30 PST)

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!

No, there is almost no risk. It resizes the images and such to the correct sizes.

Just don't touch the computer while it is going.

 

yes it is mostly a gui but it automates it too (and gets rid of risk of banner brick i hope )

 

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