WODE Flow ver 0.1 (wad/channel) Now Availible for download.

Greetings:
I have been into Wii modding ever since my friend introduced me to a cool new thing he'd found for the Wii, known as 'homebrew'. Since then my love for hard/soft modding has greatly increased and has become more varied.

About seven months ago, I pre-ordered a new "Awesome looking" Wii Hard-mod, known as 'WODE' standing for: 'Wii Optical Disk Emulator'. Much has happened since then, and in the mean time many of the people who brought WODEs were waiting in anticipation for the upcoming 'WODE CHANNEL'. Many of us waited for a long time, and soon the first WODE game booting HBC app was released, later on the WODE Flow HBC app was released. Some of us were still hoping for and expecting an actual Wii menu channel, but it was noted by 'WODE' moderators, that general Homebrew info and tutorials was beyond the site and said would have to be posted on another site (such as this one).

About a week ago after enquirers for it on the WODE forums and my own want, I decided to create a custom ver 0.1 WODE Flow forwader channel, for other people to download (and change if they wanted). Along with the download I included a full tutorial on how to safely install this .wad onto their Wii, and provided help to anyone if they had a problem. Only one guy was able to download the file before I was told that the thread had to be deleted, the reason being: The people at 'WODE' did not want some 'not so talented technical people to try and install this and then balme the WODE forums for any problems'.

Well anyway... Now I am posting the download link and full tutorial on how to install here on this site.

Here is the download link for the ver 0.1 'WODE Flow' (wad/channel) Here: WODE Flow - WIIF.zip

TUTORIAL:
NOTE: This tutorial for installation is broken up into individual stages, so the user can clearly comprehend what needs to be done.
ALSO NOTE: I will accept NO responsibility for any potential damage done to your Wii console.

Preparation:
1. I'm asuming you have allready installed the HBC, if not, look up 'HomeBrew Channel' and you should find some simple tutorials.

2. You are going to need a USB device or SD card.

3. You are going to need a Wii console (If not, I recommend not going any further in this tutorial)

Actuall Beginning of Tutorial

1. After downloading the file from download link above, Create a folder on the root of your USB device/SD card, named 'apps'.

2. Download the HBC app called 'wad manager' from here: WAD Manager 1 5 - Download from mediafire.com - Filestube.com

3. Once you have downloaded 'wad mannager' open the file with 'Winrar', if you do not have this program you can download it here: WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files

4. Once you have opened the .rar file, extract the folder inside and place it in the 'apps' folder you created on your USB device/SD card earlier.

5. Now on the root of your USB device/SD card create a new folder and name it 'wad'.

6. Put the .wad file you downloaded earlyer in the 'wad' folder you just created on your USB device/SD card.

7. Insert your USB device/SD card into your Wii and start up your Wii.

8. Find your way into the HBC and then your will find an app called 'wad manager 1.5', load that app.

9. Once you have loaded 'wad manager', press A to continue to the next screen.

10. Select the IOS version you want to use (If you are stuck or are confused here, just stick to the default offered, IOS36) and then press A to continue to the next screen.

11. Select the storage device you are using and then press A to continue to the next screen.

12. Now you will select the .wad you want to use, you will be selecting 'WODE Flow - WIIF.wad' press A to continue to the next screen.

13. You are going to want to select '< Install WAD >' then press A to continue.

14. Wait for the .wad to be installed and then find your way back to the Wii menu.

15. Congratulations, your WODE Flow ver 0.1 channel is installed!

16. IMPORTANT!, I am expecting half of you guys who tryed to install this, ran into an error at stage '13', this is because you have not yet installed the 'Truncher bug' or 'fakesigner bug'.

NOTE: I will cover a full tutorial on how to apply the 'Truncher bug'/'fakesigner bug' in my next post...

Feel free once you have installed this channel to comment on what you like, don't like and what you maybe like in the future!

ENJOY!
Wait! Don't forget to thank me!
Not all of you have been thanking me!

OK for those of you who had an error at stage '13', mentioned in my previous post, I am now creating a full tutorial for how to fix this error.

1. Download the HBC app, known as DOP-Mii from here: Downloads - dop-mii - Project Hosting on Google Code

2. After up-ziping the file, place the folder in the 'apps' folder you created earlier on your USB device/SD card

3. OK, now put the USB device/SD card in your Wii (If you have one), and turn the Wii power on.

4. Find your way to the HBC, then find the DOP-Mii app and load it.

5. Now Press A to continue to the next screen.

6. Press down on the D-pad once, to select 'Install IOS36 (v3351) w/FakeSign, then press A to continue to the next screen.

7. Press A again to continue to the next screen.

8. If you are connected to the internet in some way press a to sellect 'Downlaod form NUS'.

9. Press A again to select 'Yes".

10. Press A again to select 'Yes".

11. Press A again to select 'Download from NUS'

12. Once DOP-Mii has finished installing, press A (yet again) to select yes.

13. Again press A to select 'download from NUS'.

14. Do what it says, (Press any key to continue).

15. Find your way back to the Wii menu (or wherever).

YOUR NOW DONE! Congrats, you should have no probs installing the .wad now.

If ya have any probs please mail me, oh, and please say thanks if either of these posts was helpful!

Nice to see a fellow WODE enthusiest and ODD you might want to remove that post as theres a thread made by the same op in the intros forum. :p

Yes, 'may heaven smile and the devil have mercy!'

OK i'll see what I can do...

:011:Works like a charm. You are the BEST!!!!

What a forwarder channel do?

Just links to the program instead of having to go into the hbc to boot and can be classified as a shortcut.

Isn't there anything about these instructions that make it more difficult or dangerous than the instructions for installing WODE Flow?

sync00 are you asking if installing a wad channel is more dangerous than installing HBC and DVDx needed (currently but not for long) to run WODEflow.

Short answer is yes definitely.

HBC and DVDx alone are rather vanilla modifications to the Wii with a correspondingly reduced risk of a brick during the installation process and during normal use with the WODE.

However that risk increases considerably when changes of the nature required to install a WAD are implemented. Those changes are to replace and or alter IOS within the Wii.

Just for context.

I am the WODE moderator that suggested to Jake@War that WiiHacks is a more suited forum for the channel he has made, and the guide he has written. I think there is a need for a guide and a channel such as he has created and I further feel that this outstanding forum is the right place to host both. This is after all Wiihacks :003: and not a product support forum alone.

If I have not got your question correct I apologise and ask could you try once more. :D
