Hi There,

You can download a copy of Zelda: The Twilight Princess from a reliable source on the internet and also the same region as your wii and install the HomeBrew channel and the WAD manager that way, it doesnt have to be an original disc to be able to do this as you have a modchip.

I would suggest you follow the HomeBrew Channel install guide in the forum on this and install the WANANIKO WAD manager. :)

all you need is wad manager on your SD card, since you already have the homebrew channel.

ps2: v7 scph-39001 - independence exploit - hdloader 0.8c - maxtor 300gb hdd
(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 6.60 PRO B10
wii (powered by bootmii/priiloader): 4.1u - d2x v10beta53-alt (base 56) - configurable usb loader v70r51/devolution r188 - wd scorpio black 7200rpm 320gig w/ ams venus ds2 enclosure

got a whole lot more to list . . .

Thanks, but.....

I keep trying to run wad manager from homebrew channel, I see it, I select it, and it says "Not a valid wii application". Is this my ISO 3.4 screwing it up, or am I doing it wrong? Got a link to wad manager i can try again?

I had the same problem, at first. The issue is that you are trying to run elf files that are not properly formatted for Homebrew Channel. According to the Homebrew Channel website, you will need to get those elfs in proper format. I found an application that will automatically convert elfs/improper DOL's to proper DOL's that the Hombrew Channel can launch.

The name of the program that does this is appropriately called "DOL to ELF converter" by Yossi, Pegasus23 and sk8rboy^. It can be found at WiiBrew.org under "Applications" -> "PC Utilities." Simply put the files in the zip file in your "APPS" folder in your SD (Secure Digital card) card and run the .Bat file. The whole process is automatted, so you just need to double click the .bat file. AFter doing this, your apps should no longer give you that nagging message.



Hope that helped!

hanexs, you need the October 23rd wii fix for the V3.4u, go here http://gbatemp.net/index.php?s=572be6275...howtopic=112945 and follow the wii fix guide.

The OCT 23rd 3.3/3.4 fix guide that CJ007 linked you to says to update to latest firmware DO NOT UPDATE TO LATEST FIRMWARE!

Just skip step 1 (again do not update to latest firmware) and go directly to...

Step 2:
Using "The Homebrew Channel", open "WAD Manager".

You need to follow that guide to fix the 3.4 limitation that it places on WAD/cIOS installation.
