This tool allows you to analyze a Wii game ISO file, or directly the DVD on Linux, and provides you with various information about the game and its update.
This includes the region of the game, the region of the update, if there is a firmware update inside, and if there is a risk to perform the update. Additionally, it will also tell you if the update has already been modified by WUM.
In addition to analyzing the ISO, the tool also allows you to patch the update within the ISO. This includes the ability to put an inert update inside (Brick Block), as well as the ability to replace the update with another update. This feature can be used to make tests or unbrick a semi-bricked Wii.

FAQs
Beginners
- Can I download ISO file with WUM ?
No !!! WUM is not a leeching program. It just permit you to scan a Wii game iso file if you bought it and ripped it.
General
- What is a NOx update ?
When I analyzed different update, I found that there is 4 regions :
- - J : Jap NTSC
- - E : USA NTSC
- - P : Europe PAL
- - D : multi region (cannot brick your Wii, just add function regardless of the region = 100% safe).
So I decided to call the D region update NO1, NO2, ... like "No update inside".
- Can WUM unbrick my "settings access" semi bricked Wii ?
YES, WUM can help you to fix this type of semi brick !!!
Most of the time, you don't really know your actual firmware version, and cannot find it because your parameters page is inaccessible.
So just configure your settings with the right Wii region and uncheck the "Expert Mode" (very important).
Now download the latest firmware update by selecting it in the "Update to download" list and press "Download" button. Then take any iso, open it with WUM, scan it and perform a "Replace" with the update just downloaded.
Right now you should have an iso with the latest firmware update for your Wii. You can insert it in your Wii and do the game update when loading.
If no update has been asked, it is because your Wii contain a newer firmware... You just have to wait for a new game with a new update inside. But no need to download it, just use WUM to the above procedure one or tow weeks after the game release, WUM will know the update!
- Can WUM unbrick my "double channel" semi bricked Wii?
No, unfortunately WUM still cannot do it. But I am working on it right now.
Installation
- How to upgrade WUM version, and keep my settings?
If you want to use the latest version of WUM (recommended) and keep your settings, you just have to replace the .exe file by the new one.
To do so, download the latest version of WUM for your OS on the download page. Unzip the archive, and just put the .exe file where the old version was on your hard disk.
All settings like your Wii region are stored in the .ini file.
- How to run WUM on linux?
I order to use WUM under linux you need the libqt4 package (already installed with KDE, but need to install it if you use Gnome or other).
Usage
- What is the difference between "Brick Block" and "Replace" buttons?
- "Replace" button can put ANY update (localy aviable from WUM) in the current ISO file.
- "Brick Block" is a shortcut for the "Replace" button with a selected update to "NO" in the list.
- What "Fiability" rate does means?
This is the rate how WUM is sure to identificate the firmware version in the current update.
If Fiability is 100%, WUM is sure that the firmware version included in the current update is the one write beside "Firmware".
If the Fiability is 0%, WUM try to give a firmware version but it is not sure at all.
Don't forget that Wum database increase everyday, so maybe your Fiability rate is very low a day, and will be better some days after...
- How the "Replace" button works?
When you press the "Replace" button, WUM will replace the current update by the one selected in the "Replace with" list. So do not forget to choose the correct one before perform a "Replace".
