WAD Manager is an application that allows the (un)installation of packages in WAD format (homebrew and official packages). It allows the browsing of a storage device to work with the available WAD files in it. | |||
==User guide== | |||
===Notes=== | |||
Installing a faulty WAD file can cause serious damage to your Nintendo Wii, known as a "banner brick" caused by incorrectly sized banners. Therefore, it is crucial to be cautious when downloading WAD files and to ensure that they come from a reputable source. | |||
To safeguard your system, it's essential to have a brick protection in place before installing multiple WAD files. One of the most effective solutions is to have a NAND backup with [[BootMii Wii|BootMii]]. This allows you to restore your Wii to its original state if something goes wrong. Another option is to use Preloader, which can help uninstall bad WAD files. Having either of these tools can provide peace of mind and protect your Wii from the dreaded banner brick. | |||
