Hi All,

Hopefully someone can provide assistance to my problem with WAD Manager.

Firstly i am running 3.3 Firmware with a D2SUN v2.1 Mod Chip - which is working fine. I have homebrew channel installed.

I also installed WAD Manager (Latest Version) on ran the application. However when i try and load a WAD to install a get an error of "Ret = -1 ". Then the Wii re-starts itself.

I then installed previous versions of WAD Manager and all come up with the same error.

I have tried two different SD Cards, and still the same error. The SD Card is set as follows:

Root - wadmanager/wadmanager files
Root - wad/title1.wad
Root - wad/title2.wad

I also installed Wad Installer 2.1 and ran the twlight hack. However i get an error of "Ret = 2" doing that, and the Wii Restarted.

I can only assume its do with a cIOS, but i have never installed custom files e.t.c, and im not sure how this works.

Therefore does anyone have a possible solution i can try?

Thanks,
envy :)

it means 2 things one either you dont have enough memory on ur wii left or two your wads are damaged or injected wrong when someone wanted to inject other roms into them.

Thanks Draknoiss, however i have now done the following:

1. Re-formatted the Wii System Memory including Gamesaves & Channels
2. Re-installed Homebrew Channel
3. Obtained new WADs.
4. Re-copied 1.21 Wad Manager & New wads to (2) SD Card(s)
5. Run Homebrew Channel and again the same error - "Ret = -1" - Click A to Re-boot Wii.

So its the same error. Therefore available space and bad Wads, are now ruled out.

Is there another solution? It is possibly the whole cIOS?

uninstall any custom IOS you have. It gets in the way of Wad Manager

However i had not ever installed a custom IOS. Unless its sneaked on with something.

Therefore i can only assume it was installed with an application, but i have only installed Homebrew & Gecko OS.

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Custom_IOS_Module just doesnt seem to provide much information.

So on the other side, shall i install a custom IOS made by Waninkoko? Such as Custom IOS36 rev 04?

I have the same exact problem. Double checked and re-formated the sd card, only put wads that i know work correctly, and ive never installed any cISO's. But i still get the same error. Ive been using wad installer/uninstaller in the past, but its such a pain to use. Has anybody found out what the problem is?
Im running 3.1u w/ wii key 1.9s

LoL I figured it out. I accidently copied my whole wad folder on my pc titled "wads" and pasted it on my sd. So i just changed my folder title back to "wad" and it worked fine. It was such a little thing i hadn't noticed at first.
If i were u i would miticulously double check everything again (even the folder names) and hopefully you get yours working. Let us know.

If you have already upgraded to the Wii System Menu v4.0u and are having the WAD Manager errors, you can fix it very easily.
