WiiWare: How? - nicodemus - 03-02-2012
hey there! new to dolphin. i'm trying to find out how to play wiiware games, but i can't seem to find an answer. can anyone help me out, or point me in the right direction?
i've heard mention of Wad files, but i have no idea what those are. all i've done so far is copy my Wiiware channels to my SD card, but then the only files i have are content.bin or data.bin. i'm not sure what to do with them.
any and all help is most appreciated.
thanks!

If you have got a Wii with Softmod (HBC, BootMii etc.), follow these steps:
1. Dump your NAND with BootMii
2. Convert the nand.bin with the Wii NAND Extractor
3. Place the folder into Dolphin/User/Wii/
4. Launch the Wii menu from Tools -> Load Wii System Menu 482p
Add: Not all WiiWare Games are working.
Or try this (Softmod with cIOS is necessary):
1. Download the Wad Creator by Waninkoko
2. Load the app with the Homebrew Channel
3. Dump your WiiWare Games to the SD card
4. Install the dumped WADS with Dolphin
