How to do everything, Wad related, and everything made simple! (IDIOT PROOF! =O)
hehe, i know what guide number is this for me... i think 9, but i don't know but i hope this one helps a lot, since people want, need/desire for help, and i got many requests for this here it is, everything for wads, lets start by saying i hope this makes things ezpz
before we start
for anyone wondering, heres what a wad is more or less. Wad: more or less the exe of the wii, they are just installer, there are currently 3 types, IOS, Virtual console, and wiiware, they can brick your wii but its very rare.
while were at it, here are everything you might need prior, and PLEASE NOTE.. if you have above firmware 3.2 (wii > settings > top right = firmware) you must edit or downgrade to use this program!
and even though this isnt Wad related, i thought i would include IOS 51, and Cios 37, since people often want to install those while installing those needed IOS's, to use them, its the same as any app.

-sigh- its just BEYOND me how you dont get it, IT INSTALLS THINGS, if its ment to be a channel it will be a channel, do you think "ios 38" is gonna get a channel....
and yes you got to do the downgrade correctly...
and what the hell do you think starfall was far, RECOVERY MENU come on think people think
now admiral's gonna get mad at me..
how come you keep saying you need to downgrade to 3.2?
I've got 3.3E and everything worked perfectly, I loaded wad manager 1.3 via homebrew channel and installed a couple WADs...
and dind't even brick my wii
