Brawl+ channel : a nice way to run brawl+ from any support (disc, USB, SD)

Mister Winter · Aug 14, 2009

removed due to possible copyright issues (WAD files containing Nintendo copyrighted code), plus there are better alternatives (Brawl+ Updatifier) to this

Sounds epic, I'll try it right now!!

EDIT: Wait a minute, why did you make THIS your first post? Sounds pretty strange to me, I think I'll hold back and see what others say.

Budget Player Cadet_ · Aug 14, 2009

Wat

Wait, what? Is this the answer to my prayers (NSTC B+ on PAL)? Can you do this over the non-snapshot method? And what do you mean "install the channel which suits you"?

Because I never use forums. You can use this, there is no risk of brick.

NSTC B+ on PAL Wii yes. Just find an NSTC copy of brawl and put it on a usb key.

One of the 5 next to "Brawl+ channel for other supports"

PKNintendo · Aug 14, 2009

Awesome first post man!

I am SO downloading this.
So what your saying is that I can play it without the original disk? AWESOME!

krazystitch · Aug 14, 2009

Well, I still like to be safe, so I'll just wait to see what other people say, sorry.

PKNintendo · Aug 14, 2009

You sir are a saint to man kind.

Question though... Does the Wad manager activate IN the wii, or do I install the channel in the SD (Ie using the computer) first?

Hang on... What's a USB key? Say I have an SD card, a Wii, and a comp that can read SD cards. Will I need extra hardware? My wii already has homebrew channel.

You have to run Wad manager on your wii (with the Homebrew Channel, Wad manager on the SD card) and then it install the channel on your wii.

PKNintendo · Aug 14, 2009

I put the Wad manager in the apps file and nothing happened.

If you have a 5Go sd card you can play games from it. You can also do it from an USB hard disk or from an USB stick, but this is not the subject of the thread. Google "wii USB Loader tuto". In prior requirement I put "be able tu run regular brawl from one of the 3 supports", you are not !

PKNintendo · Aug 14, 2009

Actually nevermind my post. Where does
Gecko 1.9.2 brawl+ skin channel.wad

go?
Apps

Create a folder in the root of the SD car called "wad". Then when you run the WAD Installer it will recognize the WAD and then you install it from there.

Budget Player Cadet_ · Aug 14, 2009

I have no idea how to use the wad manager in homebrew. Wouldn't there have to be something in apps?

EDIT: triple ninja'd. So I need something else. I see... I'll look for that stuff.

Mister Winter · Aug 14, 2009

In SD:\WAD\

From the Wad manager README :

[ HOW TO USE ]:
1. Create a folder called "wad" in the root of the storage device.
2. Copy all the WAD packages in the folder
3. Run the application with any method to load homebrew.

goodoldganon · Aug 14, 2009

This sounds too good to be true

PKNintendo · Aug 14, 2009

Me neither.

I placed both the Wad manager and the Gecko 1.9.2 brawl+ skin channel.wad in the apps section. Nothing worked. I then created a wad folder in the root of the SD, but nothing worked still.

You can get a WAD Installer app, he just didn't list one here for download

The WAD Manager and the Gecko 1.9.2 brawl+ skin channel.wad are both wads and belong in the "wad" folder of the SD Card. Now you need a WAD Installer APP that will work in the Homebrew Channel.

WAD Manager is a WAD Installer APP

another quote from the README :

[ DESCRIPTION ]:
- WAD Manager is an application that allows you to (un)install
WAD packages.
It lists all the available WAD packages in a storage device
so you can select which one to (un)install.

It's a DOL file, and how does it install it?
The wad manager I mean?

Where do you place the manager file itself?

lol XD

Create a folder in the APP folder for the WAD installer then put the boot.dol into the folder and you can run it from the home brew channel and install the wad.

PKNintendo · Aug 14, 2009

The folder can be named anything right?

krazystitch · Aug 14, 2009

I think so, you can just call it "WAD Installer 1.5" so that you know what it is from the name.

If you have a brawl original copy, you can use the gecko channel as you used it before when it was in the Homebrew Channel.

If you DONT have a brawl original copy or a way to run in (for me a can't run the NTSC brawl on my pal Wii), you have to use the snapshot way.

PKNintendo · Aug 14, 2009

Umm so I was in the installation process and got error.

Okay, so far I have a problem. The installer and the boot file go in the app file right?

Gecko 1.9.2 brawl+ skin channel.wad

This goes in the root of the SD in a new folder known as wad?

Edit: I tried again, but I keep getting an error message.

On the wad foldes.

Strop confusing, i've put a tutorial for the installation of the channel with Was manager on the first post. This was so easy for me than I don't explained it.

Gotcha.

So I managed to install your installer and everything but I keep getting an error message when trying to install the channel.

Mister Winter · Aug 14, 2009

what does it say ?

PKNintendo · Aug 14, 2009

Actually I tried it again.

It says
ret=-2011
(or is it net)

Mister Winter · Aug 14, 2009

ok i think this is because your wii is not in 3.2.
You have to downgrade your wii. Try to found tuto on google

I have to downgrade my wii? Aww man.

Going to try anyway.
PS: After I install the channel, can I reupgrade my wii?

Alphatron · Aug 14, 2009

Yikes, I'm 3.4. Then again, I use SD loader for B+.

Isatis · Aug 14, 2009

No, you don't have to downgrade, you have to get a cIOS which I'm not gonna get into because it's against SWF rules =\

CountKaiser · Aug 14, 2009

cIOS are against the rules?

And this nifty little tool as saved me so much time booting up brawl+. Thanks, dude! :D
