    Section I - Patching WADs


    1. Visit the WiiLink Patcher releases page and download the correct patcher for your operating system.

    2. On Windows, run WiiLink_Patcher_Windows_vXXX.exe*.

      On MacOS, open a terminal window on the folder where the patcher downloaded, then run chmod +x WiiLink_Patcher_macOS-<arch>_vXXX*. Afterwards, run ./WiiLink_Patcher_macOS-<arch>_vXXX* and the patcher will launch right on your terminal.

      On Linux, open a terminal window on the folder where the patcher downloaded, then run chmod +x WiiLinkPatcher_Linux-<arch>_vXXX*. Afterwards, run ./WiiLinkPatcher_Linux-<arch>_v.2.X.X* and the patcher will launch right on your terminal.

      On Android, follow the guide here to launch the unofficial patcher script in Termux.

      Alternatively, you can rename the patcher file on MacOS or Linux to a simpler filename like WiiLinkPatcher and run the commands with that name in mind.

    *For Linux and MacOS Users: Replace <arch> with either x64 or ARM64 depending on your system architecture, and XXX with the latest version on the filename.

    1. Choose your installation setup:

    Express Installation

    • Press 1 for Express Install Setup. Follow the steps below:

      3. Select what language you would like for the regional channels as well as your preferred Food Channel version if you chose to install them.
      4. Select your console platform.
      5. At the Insert SD Card / USB Drive (if applicable) step, press 1 to begin patching.

    Custom Installation

    • Press 2 for Custom Install Setup. Follow the steps below:
      1. Select which channels you would like to install out of the list.
      2. Select your console platform.
      3. At the Insert SD Card / USB Drive (if applicable) step, press 1 to begin patching.
      4. It may take a moment for the patcher to download the files to your SD Card or USB Drive.
      5. Once it’s done, you can safely close the patcher. All of the files are ready on your SD Card.
      6. If it did not copy everything automatically to your SD Card or USB Device, copy the WAD and apps folder next to the WiiLink Patcher file to your SD Card or USB Device.
