The Code Downloader is a tool for the Nintendo Wii that allows users to download WiiRD code files from the WiiRD code database and save them to an SD card. The files are renamed to match the name of the game they are used for.

To use the cheats in-game, the downloaded .txt code files must be converted into .gct format using tools such as wiicm or Cheat Manager Wii.

Create /txtcodes/ directory on root of SD Card (this is where the files will be downloaded to).
