Load up the Homebrew Channel on your Wii and choose the Wad Manager. A to agree to T&C. Select IOS249. Disable NAND emulator. Choose your source device. For SD card users, it's Wii SD slot. Go down to the WAD folder. Select the wad you want to install.
In this instructable, you will learn how to install a wad file onto your Nintendo Wii. A wad file is usually a file that, once installed, will become a channel, but can also be a patch or something else of the sort like the cios wad file. It is helpfull to know how to install wad files in case some of the channels you bought got deleted. In my case, i caught my brother trying to update my wii and yanked the power cables out of the wall, effectively erasing everything on my wii. Now i know what your thinking, 'OK, once i figure out how to do this, i am going to find a website that distributes wad files and install them to my hearts content.' Even though the laws get a bit shadey when dealing with downloaded pirated content, DO NOT DOWNLOAD A WAD FILE YOU DID NOT ORIGINALY PAY FOR!!! If you do and get caught, it is not my fault.
If you get a banner brick, it is also not my fault, though if you listen to me exactly and only download wad files for your region wii, that wont happen. If you are still worried, skip to the last step first to figure out how to install starfall, an application that will allow you to boot the twilight hack and remove the bad wad. To properly prepare the sd card (i assume you already formatted it, if not follow the link in the supplies list to thundaboys instructable.) you need to make a folder called 'apps' without the quotes and a folder called 'wad' without the quotes.
Well the note function for pictures isnt working on my computer, but i figure you get the gist of what im trying to tell you. First pic is root of sd card. 2nd is apps folder.
Now this is my apps folder, and unless you have done homebrew before, you should only have wad manager 1.3 in here, as you can see highlighted by the mouse. 3rd is wad folder, my wad is legend of zelda ocarina of time master quest. I chose that wad because, since nintendo didnt make it, they cant call piracy on you for stealing it. Also when you download the wad manager, you copy the wad manager folder to your apps folder, and if the dol file is not named boot.dol, go into the wad manager folder and rename it to boot.dol. Is the link for the masterquest wad.
Put the SD card in the sd card slot on the wii, then open up your preffered method of launching homebrew. Launch the wad manager, then press a untill it tells you to choose your wad file. Press plus to install, and minus to uninstall.
Uninstalling is good if you get a banner brick. It is how to make your wii normal again so dont delete the wad file untill you are sure it works fine. Once it is done installing, press the button to restart the wii, and viola! You have a brand new channel!! Unfortunately, my camera ran out of batteries and i only got one shot in. I will take more and upload them later. Basically, after you load the wad manager, you press a to continue.
You press a to select your source, in this case the front sd card slot. And you press plus to install the wad, than you press home to restart the wii after you are done. I think i am going to have to wait untill i can get my camera charged before i can properly tell you how to install starfall. It is pretty confusing and i will also download firefox which might fix the note box problem with the pics. I am collaborating this instructable with thundaboy1047, or at least i will be once i figure out how to add him as a collaborator. But if you follow my instructaions and use this wad and use a wii bought in usa, you dont have anything to worry about.
Hoped this helped you, i will give it more pics later. Here is the download for starfall.
It is a rar file so if you dont already have an archive manager that supports rar, google winrar. It will work for now but its only a 40 day free trial and if your looking for something more permanent, may i suggest unpacker.
