If I am going to uninstall some of my Wii channel installed wads do I need to keep the original wad install files on my wiiu SD card ?

when I load wiimod lite it only seems to see the original source wad file and gives me the option to install or uninstall it, if I delete the original source wad file then how would I uninstall it as wiimod lite can’t seem to see the channel it installed ?

thanks

alors comment puis-je le désinstaller car wiimod lite ne semble pas voir la chaîne qu'il a installée?
Hello,

you can keep your Wads files on your PC, and if you ever need it, you'll know where you put it.:wink:

you can uninstall the channel(s) from "data management" <<===wii settings

wait for the opinion of other Wii experts :D

If the channels appear in data management u can just remove them from there. It won't fully remove it like uninstalling the wad would, but it's close enough.

U can also fully uninstall channels using the Any Title Deleter app or equivalent. Not generally recommended as it's easy to brick yourself if u delete the wrong thing. Same goes for uninstalling (or even installing) wads without knowing what you're doing. This is why it's best to use some yawmm mod as your wad manager of choice, it is the only one with built in brick protection to prevent someone from doing something catastrophic (not only is wii mod lite missing this, it has a bug that can cause it to crash after installing wads, and if it happens in the middle of a region change or something similar it can result in brick, so I advise against using wii mod lite unless there is no other option)

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
