WiiWare (.wad) loading in Dolphin


JCSRT05

Recommended Posts

Sometime in the past perhaps 3-6 months there has been a change with dolphin and the loading of WiiWare (.wad) files. Previously, you could just load the .wad and Dolphin would load the game as normal individual game such as a .wbfs file. Now, it appears that not only do you have to install the .wad to the nand but I'm also not certain on how to actually load the .wad directly rather than going into the Wii menu.

Am I going crazy? Has no one else noticed this?

I am setting up WiiWare and facing the same. You can run the wads directly tho, but you will get a popup asking to install it.

@JCSRT05 did you find a way of bypassing this?

 

EDIT: A friend found a way!

For everybody struggling with the WADs, you need to:

  • Go to ..\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Config\
  • Open Dolphin.ini
  • Find EnableSignatureChecks = True
  • Change it to False
  • Save and close the file

That's it!

BONUS: You can find in that same file ConfirmStop = True, and change it to False, so every time you exit a game, it will close right away without any popups or warnings.
