This package contains a collection of useful tools for packing and unpacking WAD and APP files.

Note: Editing Wad and/or related files can result in a brick of your Wii. Only use these features if you have a bricksafe Wii, meaning either Preloader or BootMii/boot2 is installed, and if you know what you're doing. Also, your Wad files could be destroyed, so be sure to have a backup.
