Excuse me for being a noob, but so all I have to do is install a wad for a specific game and make sure the game is on my USB HD and it will make a channel?

(I'm still new to the whole Wii modding scene and I got my Wii modded by following guides from here. So this being my first post for help, I'd say I did pretty good.

Thanks Sociallyantisocial! I've downloaded couple of your WAD's and they work great!

I was wondering if you could share your settings in Crap. I've got a bunch of games I want to create channels for.

Thanks a bunch!

First a BIG thank you to sociallyantisocial for all the great info in this thread and the channels. I started looking into it and turns out it's super easy to make these forwarder channels so long as you have either a working image (.iso), the banner file from the .iso, or an image file already on a WBFS formatted HD.

I'm using [Only Registered Members May View Links| Click here to register] since it's the latest final release, and so far it's working flawlessly.

Here are my settings typed up as they are in the program (I load from .iso's):
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Loader - Usb Loader 1.6 by WiiCrazy
Type - USB Loader

Under the "Fixes" category I check "Newstyle 002".

"Wad Naming" defaults to the third option: {GameName} - {DiscId} - {TitleId}.wad

--> Create Channel (This will create your brand new .wad file

in the "Wad" folder)

Then I use the Test / Install button to confirm that the new .wad file works via HBC. So far it's been 100% success and a really quick process.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are a few of the channel forwarders I've made so far (all NTSC-U) -

These are all fully functional and installed on my 4.2U softmodded Wii, also bypassing an already installed USB Loader GX. I'd take a picture and upload it, but the SD card for my camera is sitting in my Wii right now..

I'll probably make a few more soon.

I don't know if the OP is still checking this thread, but in case you are feel free to add these links to your original post, to keep them all in one spot.

thanks so much, your the best!
excuse me i have a question my Mario kart wii.wad its just goes to the place where its saids safety and stuff then after that black screen the whole time i hope u can help me

**Ithian** · 11-04-2009 08:13 PM

I'm not sure where to start, you'll have to be a bit more specific.

Does the backup run normally through your usb loader and just black screens when you're trying to run the wad channel, or does it black screen no matter what? If it black screens even through your usb loader then I'd say maybe it has to do with your cIOS rev or you don't have the right IOS installed that the game runs.

Maybe check out the thread that details which games use which IOS' and see if you need to dl it.

If it's only black screening through the forwarder .wad and NOT in your usb loader, then I'd suggest trying to create a new one and see if that helps. For what it's worth I'm using the one I dl'ed from the original post in this thread and all is a-ok with it for me.

Hope this helps.

the game works fine on my usb loader (wii flow) but if i use the channel i get a black screen i have ciosrev 14

**GGXena** · 11-05-2009 04:50 AM

The wad probably has different settings to what you have config'ed to run it on your usb loader, or maybe even a different region (have you checked?).

This is the whole reason when someone posts a .wad for a channel or forwarder they should always list a.the region b.the path the wad points to c.what settings it is config to(i.e vid patch, 002 etc) and most importantly d.as the wad been tested before posting.

Hope this helps somewhat.

btw.. I find this a lot easier to make channels for usb games [Only Registered Members May View Links| Click here to register]

Even if you get the settings wrong you can press b and change them on load up.
