One WAD generation system that still appears to be active is the CRAP system that appears to be.
Wii System Channel WAD files exist for WiiMC, ftpii, and numerous others.įorwarders are somewhat easier to locate, a common one being the Narolez-NForwarder, for which source exists and is easily modifiable. A common technique is to use a somewhat generalized WAD that can be easily customized to then forward to another WiiBrew application stored on the SD card. Associated with WAD file generation are forwarders, which when loaded simply load another arbitrary application. WAD file creation seems to be an intricate process and tools are difficult to locate, and most are based on the.
If a WiiBrew app isn't installed as a channel, it can usually only be launched from the Homebrew Channel itself. WAD files are often installed in the Wii System Menu to appear as channels, making launching easier. If you wish to discuss legitimate WAD files, please ensure you make clear which file you are talking about and what you will use it for, to prevent people jumping to conclusions about your intentions. Wiibrew does not in any way endorse piracy, and as such these uses of WAD files should not be discussed. Is any of this possible? thanks for reading, btw I used boot.wii as an example for the first file (since i do not know what it is).Unfortunately, WAD files are often used to distribute pirated channels (both Virtual Console and WiiWare), due to the fact that they are also used by Nintendo and therefore easy to rip from the Wii and, for some WAD files, Nintendo's servers, and easy to create installers for. If that is not possible what about editing the boot.wii file to try to read a flash nand backup from a Usb dongle (Abit like devhook for the psp?) and u could modify those files (custom themes etc) without worrying about bricking the wii’s nand flash because you’d be modifying the usb’s nand dump and if you brick the usb’s nand dump then when you boot it would try and boot from the usb but it cant so it would just boot directly from the wii’s nand?
boot.wii, I made that up) And rename the original File (which the wii uses to boot up) to something like boot2.wii and make a boot.wii that has some code that when you press 2+1 it takes you to the recovery menu which allows you to flash a firmware dump from the sd card to the flash nand and if u dont press anything it just boots up as normal but it wont if you’ve bricked you wii but you could have a chance of booting into recovery? (Even make the file a read only hidden file)?Ĥ. is it also possible to make a recovery file, well the first file the Wii’s IPL Memory tries to read (e.g. So This Html has Images right? From what I understand You could just possibily edit them in photoshop and just repack them for a customized Setting menu? Is that correct?Ģ.Would it be possible to Redirect all the enteries for the 4mb file just to one 4mb file or are they all different?ģ. It’s based on Opera, but it’s not exactly the same - the Opera channel uses the same (Did I mention that each of those channels has to store its own individual copy of that 4MB of crap?)ġ. Think of it like a DLL that’s packed with the channel that gives it an HTML renderer. There’s a 9 MB chunk of code called “news are the ones that come to mind.
Then, we will be free to do whatever the hell we … well. This is why I haven’t pursued this yet - I want to wait until we’ve created a recovery mechanism.
but BE VERY CAREFUL - if you fuck it up, you’ve bricked your Wii. Yes, all of these can be extracted from the System Menu WAD - and then, in theory, repacked and installed.
