Hi,
I can run rc8 if i goto homebrew channel then load the rc8 app.
How do I changed it into a wad so I can install it as a channel on me main screen?

thanks

Three methods:-

1) Load a forwarder channel (a channel that loads the boot.dol in a specified location on your SD card) - can be easily updated to RC9, RC10 simply by copying the new boot.dol to the folder.

2) Wait for someone to create a Wad and load that - might have to wait a while.

3) Create one yourself - could be a semi-brick waiting to happen.

Thanks.
Is there a recommened forwarder to use?

Use any one you like the look of, there's plain, animated, musical, blue, white, green. It's all down to taste.

I don't want to take away ther pleasure of finding them for yourself.

Just look for something like 'USB Loader forwarder channel' There's loads out there.

Is there a good location to find forwarders for the array of homebrew applications? Since I do not know whats out there, a gentle push in the right direction would be appreciated.

Or maybe a howto on how to create your own forwarder would be grand as well

You could try [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register]

But be careful creating your own as if you do it wrong then you could be back on here asking for help how to unbrick your Wii after you bannerbrick it.
