Here is a quick step by step guide for installing wad files on your
Wii. First off you will need:
1-
Wii console
2- Remote and nunchuck
3- Copy of zela twilight princess, I don't know if a backup will work but it should
4- An
sd card at least 32mb
5- TP hack save file
6- Wad installer v2
7- Wad files you want to install
First you can get the tp hack here:
http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Twilight_Hack
The wad installer can be found by searching around, I'm pretty sure it's illegal so I won't link to it right now.
Steps:
1- If you want to keep your old zelda save, copy it to your sd card now and copy it to your pc or use a second sd card for the hack. This will delete your old save.
2- Prepare your sd card to use the tp hack as found on the site above, make sure your sd card is fat not fat32 formatted. (note E= USA in this case, not Europe, I think P= Europe and J= Japan)
3- Create a directory in the root of the sd card called wad. Your file structure should have 2 folders in root: private and wad.
4- Copy the wad loader elf file (there's a dol and an elf, ignore the dol) to the root of the sd card and rename it to boot.elf.
5- Copy the wads you want to install to the wad directory (don't ask where to download them, they aren't legal to distribute).
6- Eject the sd card from your computer by right clicking on the drive in explorer and click eject (can cause problems if you don't do this). This is for windows only, if you are on
linux or mac just right click the sd card on your desktop and click eject.
7- Remove sd card and insert into the wii.
8- Turn on the wii, go to data settings, wii console, find your tp save and delete it. If you never played tp before create a save in the game (the wii needs to have the save on there at some point) and go back to the menu and delete it. Go to the sd card and copy the tp hack save to the wii.
9- Load zelda tp and you will see the the hacked save file. When you load the save you will see a man in front of you. Either talk to him or just turn around and run backwards, either way activates the hack.
10- The screen will go
black and will tell you to press reset to start the installer. Do it!
11- If all goes well it will say what it's copying, if you get a bunch of hex values and the words "CODE DUMP" then there was an error and you will need to try copying the files again or try another sd card. I got this error repeatedly until I ejected the sd card properly. Don't skip that step!
12- When its done it will say press reset to reboot the wii. Do it!
13- Your new
channel should be accessable from the menu. It can be removed the same way as any other channel, copied, etc.
14- Enjoy!
