When you hear about WADs, people are talking about files with the file extension 'wad'. WADs can contain a lot of data. Mostly, this data is a channel or IOS file. It might be handy to know how to install them.
WARNING
|
Make sure you get your WAD's from a reliable source! And always have BootMii and/or Priiloader before installing a WAD you're not sure about!
