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.

User guide

You will also find the following tools included:

  • WadMii - Packs and Unpacks Wad files.
  • U8Mii - Packs and Unpacks U8 archives (including headers).

  • Lz77Mii - Compresses and Decompresses files using the Lz77 algorithm.

The .NET-Framework 2.0 is required to run these applications.

Changelog

Version 0.3

  • Note: License upgraded to GPL v3.
  • Compiled with latest version of Wii.cs, this basically means several bugfixes initially made for CustomizeMii and ShowMiiWads.

Version 0.2

  • Aded CLI (Command Line) Usage for all except UltimateU8 (see CLI.txt for usage).
  • Added Tpl previewing to UltimateU8.
  • Added Auto-Header-Detection to UltimateU8. It will automatically select the Header of the file you opened, however, you can still change it if you want.
  • UltimateU8 will now temporarily save the Channel Titles, if you open 00.app's, so you don't need to type them again.

Version 0.1

  • Initial Release.
