Hacking Wadder "???" file

[Deleted-171178]

I use wadder alot, but every file I make with it gives me a "???" in the settings --> Data management --> Channels selection.
This is really annoying when trying to clear out my wii.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Im using Wadder 2.3.

Hmm thats quite strange..... I've not seen that problem with any wads I made with older versions of wadder.....

Want me to upload a WAD that I injected to prove it?
I have the original (not made by me) and the injected.
It happens for all WADS i make.

you should really ask this on the wadder site and keep this for the WII hacking directly

it has to do with compression. wadder fails to do that because they haven't implimented LZ77 compression.

You'll need wwpacker and HowardC's U8Tool to fix it.

That's kinda harsh, he's just asking for advice. Whilst wadder does have its own website, this is a wii hacking forum and I don't see a reason not to ask.
I had the same question, thanks TroyTheZombie for the help!

actually, i released the new wadder 2.4 this morning and i added lz77 compression to fix this issue. just run all your problem wads through it, and theyll be fixed. im used comexs gbalzss so there isnt any corruption, like what you might get with u8tool.
