question about installing WADs
Good people of r/wii,
I only recently modded my Wii with letterbomb, I have system menu 4.3E.
I want to install a few WAD files, but I haven't quite figured it out yet, and information provided to me by google is both ambiguous and unclear.

I'm not sure what IOS versions are, but the homebrew channel tells me I'm using ISO58. The Wad Manager 1.7 asks me what IOS to use, I have tried a few, but most of them disable my wiimote, and the ones that don't give an error when I try to install a WAD. (I think it's error -20012)
I've heard that downgrading my system menu might cause brickage and I want to play very new discs, so I don't think that'll work.
If anyone can give me a simple guide to follow, I'd appreciate it enormously.
(On a side note, I'm usually against piracy, but not when it comes to retrogames or games that I've already paid for on another platform, which is what these WADs are.)

This patcher will make WiiWare patching easy to do to use Wiimmfi.
Usage
Put your WADs (there can be multiple of them) in the folder corresponding to your operating system then run the patch script. Below are instructions to run that.
Windows users:
- Double click the 'patcher.bat' script to run it. Don't run WiiWarePatcher.exe. After starting up the patcher, follow the instructions on screen. Also, don't forget to put .WADs into the folder with patcher..
Mac/Linux users:
- You need to install Mono if you haven't already. On Mac, install homebrew from https://brew.sh/, and type in a Terminal window. In Linux, use your package manager (APT for Debian/Ubuntu, etc) and install the appropiate mono package - Google is your friend if you don't understand.
- Open a command prompt (Terminal on Mac).
- Type 'cd' and put a space.
- Drag and drop the folder with the patcher (it either says Mac or Linux depending on what you choose) to the command prompt.
- Type in 'sh patch.sh'.
We recommend installing these WADs with WiiMod Lite.
