This guide will show you how to get free Virtual Console games for your Wii. Free VC Games.

Created by auroreon, Edited by Carson

This is a complete guide to installing VC games on your wii!

Step 1: Get the following:
1. An SD card (formatted to FAT, should be by default)
2. A copy of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
3. Newest version of WAD Installer
[URL="http://rapidshare.com/files/111082207/wadis21.rar"]RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting[/URL]
Pass:
wiiso.com
4. The Twilight hack file (Main Page - WiiBrew)

Step 2: Extract the .rar file that the WAD installer comes in and rename the file
'wad-installer.elf' to 'boot.elf'. You can get rid of the other files, the .elf file
is all you need.

Step 3: Connect SD Card to computer.

Step 4: If it does not already exist, make a directory called "/private/wii/title/RZDx/"
on your SD card; replace "RZDx" with RZDE, RZDP or RZDJ as appropriate for your
version of the twilight hack file.

Step 5: Rename your Twilight hack file to 'data.bin' and put it in the "private/wii/title/RZDx/"
directory on your SD Card.

Step 6: Move boot.elf to the root of your SD Card. (NOT TO THE 'private' FOLDER!)

Step 7: Extract the Virtual Console titles you downloaded if they are in .rar files.
You should get .wad files. The .wad files will probably all be named 'title.wad',
rename them to whatever you want but make sure they have different names.

Step 8: Create a folder on the root of your SD Card called 'wad' in this folder put
all the .wad files you have for all the VC games you want to install.

Step 9: Now that all the necessary files are on the SD Card we can begin. Unplug the
SD Card from the computer and plug it into the SD Card slot on the front of the Wii
(which is located next to the disc slot, behind a panel).

Step 10: Insert the Twilight Princess disc into the Wii. Start the game. After
starting the game it will ask you if you want to create a save data on your Wii,
(this only happens if you don't have a Twilight Princess save data already).
Select yes and it will create a save file.

NOTE: If you already have a Twilight Princess save file on your wii that you want to
keep, back it up on an SD Card before continuing to the next step, as you will be
erasing the save data from the Wii.

Step 11: Go back to the Wii Menu, click on the Wii button in the bottom left of the
Wii Menu, go to Data Management, go to Save Data, go to Wii.

Step 12: Erase the Twilight Princess Save Data from the Wii.

Step 13: click on the SD Card tab, you will see an icon that says 'Wiibrew loader'
on it, click on it, click copy and it will copy to the Wii memory.

Step 14: Go back to the Wii Menu.

Step 15: Start Twilight Princess again, this time there will be a save file called
'Twilight Hack' and it will have all 20 hearts, load this save file.

Step 16: You will see a man standing in front of you in the game, go up to him and
speak to him. The game will immediately freeze as you speak to him and lines of code
will appear on a black background. DO NOT BE ALARMED! THIS IS NORMAL!

Step 17: Eventually it will ask you to press the reset button on the Wii, press the
button and it will begin to install the VC games.

Step 18: When it is finished it will inform you that it is going to go back to the
Wii Menu in 10 seconds and count down.

Step 19: When it reaches 0 it will either reset to the Wii Menu or the screen will
go black and the console will freeze, if this happens it DOES NOT matter, just
switch off the console and switch it back on.

Step 20: When you return to the Wii Menu you will find your brand new FREE Virtual
Console games sitting proudly in your Wii Menu. Congrats.

Not really either. You don't have to have anything modded for this to work, nothing at all. Just Twilight Princess, SD Card, and SD Card reader

That's a good idea... I may do that. Buy like 5 on eBay, fill them up with all VC games, and sell. Would you be interested?

Now I'm sure this works.

Check and make sure you used the right Twilight Princess file. There are 2 for USA.

I would link you to the thread, but they moved it to Premium. Try another WAD file.
