Some Yet Another Wad Manager Mod (YAWMM) is an application that allows you to install and uninstall WADs. It displays a list of all available WADs on a storage device, allowing you to select which ones to install or uninstall.

Disclaimer: This application comes with no warrant at all, neither expressed nor implied. No one but yourself is responsible for any damage to your Wii console because of improper usage of this software.

User guide

Supported devices

  • SDGecko.
  • Internal SD slot (with SDHC support).
  • USB device (1.1 and 2.0).

How to use

  • Copy the WAD(s) you wish to install to your storage device.
  • Run the application using any method to load homebrew.
  • The following 3 options can be skipped/pre-set, see the Config File Usage Section for details.
    • Select an IOS to use (must have proper patches), 2 commonly used IOSs are 249 and 36.
    • Select the device where you have saved the WADs.
    • Choose Nand Emulation Device (leave "disabled" to install to WADs to the Wii's real Nand).
  • Browse the device to locate the WADs (A to open folders, and B to go back).
  • Press A on an individual WAD to install or uninstall.
    • If no file is marked, the normal single file install or uninstall menu will appear.
    • If at least one file is marked, the batch install or uninstall menu will appear.
  • Press the Plus button to mark the selected WAD for batch installation.
  • Press the Minus button to mark the selected WAD for batch uninstallation.
  • Hold Plus/Minus for 2 seconds to mark all items in a directory.
  • A "+" will appear in front of the name of marked WADs for installation.
  • A "-" will appear in front of the name of marked WADs for uninstallation.
  • Press 1 to access the operations menu (currently, it only allows you to delete single WADs).

Note: To use the NAND emulation is necessary to have a complete copy of the NAND filesystem in the root of the FAT device.

Config file usage

wm_config.txt resides in sd:/wad, and it is optional. You will get all the prompts if you don't have this file.

  • If you are missing this file, copy and paste the entire [CONFIG FILE USAGE] Section in the readme to a new text file, rename it wm_config.txt, and Save it to sd:/wad.
  • To bypass any of the params, just comment out the line using a ";" at the beginning of the line*.
  • If you don't have any of the other parameters, it will prompt you for it.
  • The param keywords are case-sensitive at this point.
  • No spaces precede the keyword on a line.
  • If you don't have a password in the config file, the default is no password.
  • If you don't have a startupPath, the default is /wad.
  • Blank lines are ignored.
  • Password=your_password ("LRUD" only, where L=left, R=right, U=up, D=down on the WiiMote or GC Controller, max 10 characters).
  • StartupPath=startupPath (starting at the root dir "/"). Be sure that the path exists, else you will get an error.
