Load up WAD Manager in homebrew, find your wad, and choose to install.

This forwarder looks in the following locations for a USB Loader boot.dol: To make things easier, you can download the one I use: Universal Forwarder Channel by Narolez.

The advantage of this is that it makes it simple to upgrade your USB loader without ever having to mess with the forwarder channel, since you can just swap the boot.dol to a newer version. A USB forwarder channel looks in specific directories for an installed USB loader and tries to run it. There’s quite a few USB forwarder channels out there, but they all do pretty much the same thing.

You can just install a usb forwarder channel that will allow you to access your USB Loader from the main menu, or install channels for individual games so that they show up on the main menu. There’s two options from here on out, and you’re welcome to do both. Create a “/wad” folder on your SD card (must be on the root of the card!) Any channels that you want to install must be placed here or else the WAD Manager will be unable to find them.Should anything go wrong, you have a backup you can fall back on, otherwise you are continuing at your own risk! Prerequisite Steps Please note that the steps here can and might damage your Wii! I very highly recommend you install BootMii into boot2 and back up your NAND before attempting any of the following steps. If you don’t, follow these steps then come back here once you’re done.

You obviously need to have the Homebrew Channel plus a USB loader installed before you can do any of this. Getting channels to go directly to the games, or the USB Loader is easier than you would think. Yet having to load the Homebrew channel, then going through to your USB loader can feel cumbersome sometimes.

If you followed my previous post on attaching a USB hard drive to your Wii, you now should have the convenience of loading games directly from your hard drive without ever having to worry about swapping discs.
