Hi all, turned my wii on for the first time in months perhaps years this weekend, updated to 4.3e then did some research into softmodding. After much faffin i went out bought lego indiana, and I have now got the Homebrew Channel on my wii main screen, Also downloaded Homebrew browser, and downloaded Doom! which was an almighty game when i was a nipper but now i want to get top shelf games!

Im not sure how i go about this.
Do i need Wad Manager? i tried downloadin it to SD card putting it into Apps Folder. renamed it to Boot.dol when i open homebrew I have a Wad Manager App there when i click on it, screen goes Blank and Wii does nothing have to reboot.

Do i have to download games as Wads? where can i get them from?

I appreciate any help in advance as you guys/gals get asked all the time stuff like this from dimwits such as myself

Cheers

you dont download games as wads,if you want games learn how to use bit torrents.when you say you have homebrew channel does that mean you have fully modded your wii?or you just have homebrew channel? normally you dont have to rename wad manager just put the wad manager folder inthe apps folder but make sure wad manager is not in a folder inside another folder

[royboyz]

not sure if its fully modded, just softmodded i think, Managed to get wad manager v1.4 on but when im installing it its saying error! (ret = -2011)
the guide im using is just pre 4.3e i think
What IOS setting am i supposed to use?

I know how to download torrents wasnt sure if that was the route for games thats all

right i managed to sort it last night, through the mauifrog tut

Thanks for the replies though

I now have usb launcher gx and load mii

so do i just download game torrents? can i put them on a usb pen drive how do i play them? is it through usb launcher?

also i didnt know how big the games actually was, i have an external hdd 1tb but i havent partitioned it and its formatted to fat32 so it would play on my dvd player and ps3.
Is there a way of creating a partition on it without deleting any data that i already have on it. Ive used up about 80gb with films, photos, data etc so i really dont wanna lose it if poss.
I dont have enough room on my laptop hd to drag it all onto there temporarily.

[renke_uk]

You can leave it as FAT32 and transfer games in the .wbfs format instead of .iso usin wii game manager

All you need it cios222/223 or cIOSxr19
And the best USB Loader - CFG USB Loader

game manager is a pc based app install that on your pc.
cios222/223 are mostly used for games with usb hardware get that here Digital Kaos - Downloads - custom cios222v5 installer
i wouldnt bother with ciox19 if your a novice try this Digital Kaos - Downloads - cios38 rev17
as for cfg loader put the wad files in your wad folder and install with wad manager
