The WAD Manager (un)installs packages called WADs. Things such as Wii Ware games, VC games, Wii channels, hidden channels and other updates come in these WAD packages.

To properly prepare the sd card (i assume you already formatted it, if not follow the link in the supplies list to thundaboys instructable.) you need to make a folder called 'apps' without the quotes and a folder called 'wad' without the quotes.

Ok, by now you could successfully have accomplished Step 1 and Step 2, and now it’s time to set a launcher of your choice.

The launcher (or loader) is your “jukebox” of backup copies of Wii games (vWii, if you prefer), through which you will trigger or incorporate a nice range of features, such as: changing from PAL to NTSC, change the aspect ratio of 4:3 to 16:9, change the default language of the game (if available), setting a parental lock (for games with violence or adult content) – so it’s worth to compare and see which is the one that best suits your needs.

There are many out there, but there’s one that stands out for its good compatibility, beautiful presentation and a list of very interesting features: we’re talking about the WiiFlow. Honestly, I most identified myself and use it daily.

The WiiFlow can be found here on their downloads page – the most current version is 4.2.1

Here’s a tip: Avoid the .wad and use the .dol.

The boot archive in WiiFlow is a “.dol” type – It means that you will trigger it from the homebrew channel.

The “.wad” file types are able to create “channels” right from the opening of your vWii screen – but it is risky! Not all .wad is formatted for vWii and yes, they can “brick” your Wii – partially compromising your Wii U.

I’ve walked around seeing some tutorials that teach how to apply WADs on Wii U, to get to WiiFlow as soon as channels are shown on your vWii mode. I also saw that there are ways to create WADs specially made for vWii … in all cases, I’m not 100% sure to pass on the method and insert in my tutorial.

Installing your WiiFlow couldn’t be easier!

1. Download the file (v 4.2.1)
2. Extract it to the root of your SD card – which brings us the following structure: X:appswiiflowboot.dol (among some other files)
3. Start the homebrew channel, click the WiiFlow icon and then ‘Load‘

In terms of softmodding, you’ve just completed the procedure. Congratulations!

The homebrew channel is operational, the loader is working … from now on is up to you. I intend to make some other pages, like another tutorial with the basic usage of the Wii Backup Manager (for those unfamiliar with the tool), but it ‘s likely that many people already know how it works.

Cleaning up the mess:

To avoid the risk of accidents, I recommend that you delete from your SD card all appsthat will no longer be necessary for the operation of unlocking your Nintendo Wii U. (As a precaution, make additional copies of your backups – NAND, keys, etc.)

My appsfolder got really “small”, after all discarded, there were only two subfolders of WiiFlow and Media Player – mandatory: the launcher folder (in my case, wiiflow).
