Wiiload enables transferring .DOL and .ELF files to a Wii/Wii U (in Wii mode) via the local network, provided the console is connected to the internet and shares the same router with your PC on the same (W)LAN. The homebrew channel must be launched without accessing any submenus.

For loading entire apps on the SD card, create an app-named folder, put the relevant files (boot.dol, meta.xml, etc.) inside, zip the folder with the same name, and send the ZIP to the Wii as a normal boot.dol.

Usage

Windows

To run Wiiload, just slide a DOL, ELF or a ZIP with the app onto the wiiload.exe. Of course you can also use the command prompt.

macOS

Start the terminal and enter
touch .profile

if there is no .profile file in your home directory yet. then lead
vi .profile

and add the following to the file:
export WIILOAD=tcp:YOURIP

Then close the file and then use " cd PFAD" to go to the path of Wiiload. Then enter the following there:
chmod 755 wiiload

Close the terminal and reopen it. Place a boot.dol of any app in the same directory as Wiiload and see if it works. Go back to the path of Wiiload with " cd PFAD" and run Wiiload:
./wiiload boot.dol (or .elf, depending)

Linux

Open the .bashrc/.zshrc or other file your shell uses (usually in your home directory) and add the following to the end of the file:
export WIILOAD=tcp:YOURIP

Then, in the same directory as Wiiload, open a terminal and run Wiiload:
./wiiload boot.dol (or .elf, depending)
