   Is there a way to get a wad on a console?

   • No, WADs are for wii channels or virtual console games and that's it as far as I know. Games are ISOs, WBFS files, or .rvz files. Get them from either the megathread or Vimm's Lair. ohh okay thank you! I’ve only ever used a WAD manager (yawmm) how would i get these onto the console since they aren’t wads?
