I have a copy of the wii menu wad but i need to convert it to an iso. Apparently there used to be a program called "wad2iso" but it used an installer which no longer works. I've also heard that you can do this using "WBFS Manager" but doing that requires getting the .wad onto a WBFS formatted drive, which I currently have no way of doing. Any help would be appreciated.
Why exactly do you want to convert it to an ISO? Because what you're asking makes no sense.
I'm trying to edit the wii menu disc channel screen for a personal project, but I have no experience with wii romhacks and I figure there's more documentation on editing ISOs than WADs, but again I don't really know because I have no experience with this sort of thing.
Can themes help me edit this screen beyond texture replacement? I want to remove the gamecube disc and move the wii disc to the center

I'm not sure, I'm planning on using it with dolphin though, not a real wii. Dolphin already boots the .wad just fine so I imagine converting it wouldn't change anything regarding bootability.
I don't think it can boot, even if you manage to change the wad file to a Wii game file structure it won't be recognized as either a channel or a Wii game. Also those channels are supposed to be run and are installed on your nand, and won't launch without it.

Even if you could convert it to ISO it probably wouldn't be a working ISO and I doubt you could convert it back to a working WAD. They're two completely different formats.
If you extract it with a tool such as ShowMiiWads, and locate the banner file, from there on it would be the same as editing the banner of an ISO as the banner format is the same.
This worked and I can now access the banner and edit it. Thanks for the help!
idk how to convert a wad to an iso cus i need eather an iso or a wbfs to put onto the wii virtual console and my game ROM is a wad not an iso

Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.+1 -

and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses) -

There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"

i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect

Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
- fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection) -

That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.+1

I live maybe 3 minutes from a Dairy Queen, so I would just go there for ice cream anything anyways. I usually get the Oreo Blizzard, or a Peanut Buster Parfait.
