Creating Wii Game Shortcuts

Do you use a Wii backup loader and want to create game shortcuts to launch them on your Wii Menu? Then try WiiGSC (Wii Game Shortcut Creator), previously known as Crap.

WARNING

In the case of a brick, installing Priiloader is a must. Also, install BootMii (as Boot2 if you have an early Wii). Installing brick protection along with following the guide correctly should keep you safe from bricks. DO NOT CONTINUE UNTIL YOU HAVE INSTALLED PRIILOADER AND BOOTMII!

WARNING

Do NOT make a shortcut for the games "Mario Party 9" or "A Boy and His Blob". It will brick your Wii.

INFO

The Wii Menu is limited to 48 channels, not including existing system channels.

Requirements

Instructions

  1. Install WiiGSC, then right click on it and choose Run as administrator. If you do not do this, WiiGSC will throw an error when you open it.

  2. Select the path to the ISO or WBFS file on your SD or USB drive, and select the loader you use. The other options should be fine the way they are.

    INFO

    If you are on vWii, use the Wiiforwarder2vWii tool to convert the WAD for use on the vWii.

  3. Install the generated WAD with your WAD manager.

INFO

If you get an error saying "The system files are corrupted", don't panic as long as you installed Priiloader. Turn off your Wii, then boot into Priiloader using one of the available methods for your console. Enter the Homebrew Channel and launch your WAD manager to uninstall the WAD. If priiloader was not installed, proceed to BlueBomb.
