Today Wii fans, I made my own program that allows you to inject YouTube videos (converted to Shockwave Flash [SWF]) into WADs [Nintendo Wii channel format].
This is an injector program created by mrt84 that allows you to convert YouTube videos from SWF (Shockwave Flash) to WAD format.
 
'''REMEMBER:''' Make sure that the YouTube video that you're injecting is 5 minutes. Longer minutes or larger MBs than 15 MBs won't work.
 
'''WARNING! Some Anti-viruses might detect that my program has a virus. If that does, is a false-positive. There's no viruses or malware in my program. If your PC goes strange or acts up, let me know.'''


==Guide Installing==
Please note that the YouTube video you insert must be no longer than 5 minutes and less than 15 MB in size.


Here's the things you need:
Additionally, please be aware that some anti-virus programs may flag this program as containing a virus, but this is a false positive.


# YouTube video
==User guide==
# SWF Converter
What you will need:
# My program, you know the YouTube video SWF [Shockwave Flash] Wii WAD injector.
* YouTube video.
* SWF Converter.
* YouTube video SWF [Shockwave Flash] Wii WAD injector program.


'''STEP 1:''' Installing the YouTube Video SWF [Shockwave Flash] Wii WAD Injector program
===Step 1 Download the program===
Download and extract the YouTube Video SWF [Shockwave Flash] Wii WAD Injector program somewhere on your PC.


Here's the download link for the YouTube Video SWF [Shockwave Flash] Wii WAD Injector:
Note that some anti-virus program may prevent you from starting the program and you may need to temporarily disable your anti-virus to proceed.
https://gbatemp.net/download/youtube-video-swf-wii-wad-injector-beta.37346/


'''STEP 2:''' Turning off your Anti-virus
===Step 2 Find a video===
Download a YouTube video & converting it to MP4.


Well, you don't have to though, but if your anti-virus detects that you're aren't able to start the program & not have an inappropriate way, make sure you turn off your anti-virus just incease.
To find a video to inject, you can visit www.youtube.com or use yt-dlp. Please keep in mind that the video should be no longer than 5 minutes and the file size should be 15 MB or lower. This is because the Wii can only handle SWF (Shockwave Flash) files of this size.  


'''STEP 3:''' Downloading a YouTube video & converting it to MP4
Additionally, it is important to select a video resolution of 480p, 360p, 240p, or 144p. If the file size is larger or the resolution is higher, the WAD may not work on your Wii console.
 
Go to www.youtube.com & go find a video you want to inject or if you use YouTube-DL, you could use that program. Also please make sure, once again that the video is 5 minutes or short due to the MBs, and the Wii can only handle the SWF [Shockwave Flash] file being 15 MBs [15,234] or lower MBs. If the MBs is more than 15 or lower, then your WAD won't work on your Wii console. Also please make sure you choose either 480p, 360p, 240p, or 144p.


* For 5 minutes, choose 240p or 144p.
* For 5 minutes, choose 240p or 144p.
Line 52: Line 42:
* For seconds, choose 1080p [HD], 720p [HD], 480p, 360p, 240p, 144p.
* For seconds, choose 1080p [HD], 720p [HD], 480p, 360p, 240p, 144p.


For 1080p & 720p though, the FPS will be slow but the audio will be fine. I recommend you use 480p, 360p & 240p for better FPS. But for 144p, which is bad quality. The FPS is either 10 or 15 FPS. For the qualities & minutes though. I recommend you go to Y2meta, some other site that supports it, or an application you use.
While 1080p and 720p videos may have good audio quality, their frame rate (FPS) may be slow. To ensure better FPS, it is recommended to use 480p, 360p, and 240p resolutions.  
 
'''STEP 4:''' Converting MP4 to SWF.
 
Alright, so you now understand step 3? Okay then, you're good to go. Use either a software/application you use for the conversion like Adobe Media Encoder or any other software, or a website that has the conversions.
 
'''WARNING!'''


If you use Convertio.co for the MP4 to SWF conversion, when you test your WAD out, there's 99% chance that the audio will go left behind & weird sound glitches as well. I recommend you use a different site, otherwise use the Aconvert site for the conversion like I use.
However, please note that the quality of a 144p video is poor and the FPS may be as low as 10 or 15. To find videos with appropriate quality and length, you can try using websites such as Y2meta or other platforms that support these options, or an application that you use.


'''STEP 5:''' Renaming your SWF to "wii_shim" & "wii_dev_shim".
===Step 3 Convert the video===
Convert MP4 to SWF - You can use either a software/application for the conversion like Adobe Media Encoder or any other software, or a website that has the conversions.


Once you're done converting your MP4 file to SWF. Make sure you rename your SWF to "wii_shim" & copy your "wii_shim.swf" & paste. Once that's done, change "wii_shim - Copy.swf" to "wii_dev_shim.swf".
Warning - If you use Convertio.co for the MP4 to SWF conversion, when you test your WAD out, there's 99% chance that the audio will go left behind & weird sound glitches as well. It is recommended you use a different site, such as Aconvert.


'''STEP 6:''' Extracting the YouTube video SWF [Shockwave Flash] Wii WAD injector ZIP archive.
===Step 4 Rename the SWF files===
Once you're done converting your MP4 file to SWF, make a copy of it so you have 2 SWF files.


Extract the ZIP archive & extract it somewhere in your PC's location. For example "C:/Users/username/Documents/YouTube Video SWF Wii WAD Injector [BETA, v.1.0.0] by mrt84".
Rename one SWF to "wii_shim.swf" and the duplicate SWF to "wii_dev_shim.swf".


'''STEP 7:''' Copying & paste the SWF files in the SWF input folder.
Copy the SWF files in "YouTube Video SWF Wii WAD Injector [BETA, v.1.0.0] by mrt84\YouTubeSWFFlashWii\SWF_INPUT".


Copy the SWF files you just did in step 5 & paste it in "YouTube Video SWF Wii WAD Injector [BETA, v.1.0.0] by mrt84\YouTubeSWFFlashWii\SWF_INPUT".
===Step 5 Inject SWF into WAD===
Open the batch file to begin injecting the SWFs into a WAD:
*Press Enter when you are ready, the command will then unpack the WAD.
*After it checks the SWF files from the SWF input, press Enter to continue.
*The program will then ask if you want to inject the SWF, press "Y" for yes.
*Repeat this process for all the SWF files you want to inject.
*Once you have finished injecting your SWFs, the command will pack the WAD. Press Enter to continue.
*Next, it will ask if you want to enter a new ID for your WAD. It is recommended to do so.  
*After entering the new ID, it will ask if you want your WAD to be region-free. It is recommended not to set it as region-free as it may not work, but you can choose to make it region-free if you wish.


'''STEP 8:''' Injecting the SWFs into a WAD.
===Step 6 In the finish line===
You can now install the injected WAD on your Wii, vWii, or Dolphin.  


Open up the batch file & press enter when you're ready & the command will unpack the WAD. Once it checks the SWF files from the SWF input, press enter to continue. Next, it will ask you if you want to inject the SWF, press "Y" for yes. Once it is succeed, go to the next one. Then, the command will pack the WAD after you have injected your SWFs, press enter. After that, it will ask you if you want enter a new ID for your WAD. I recommend you do. Once you're done entering your ID, it will ask you if you want your WAD to be region-free. I recommend no, because I don't think that will work for region-free but you can set your WAD region to free, if you want.
For vWii and Wii, it is important to have brick protection/anti-brick tools such as [[Priiloader Wii|Priiloader]], [[BootMii Wii|BootMii]], and Dump Mii NAND (for vWii only) before installing the WAD.


'''STEP 9:''' In the finish line!

And now & you're done! Install your injected WAD on your Wii, vWii, or Dolphin. For vWii & Wii, make sure you have a brick-protection/anti-brick such as Priiloader, BootMii & Dump Mii NAND (vWii only) before you install your WAD. Have fun making YouTube injects & I hope you enjoy.

Step 4 Rename the SWF files

Once you're done converting your MP4 file to SWF, make a copy of it so you have 2 SWF files.

Rename one SWF to "wii_shim.swf" and the duplicate SWF to "wii_dev_shim.swf".

Copy the SWF files in "YouTube Video SWF Wii WAD Injector [BETA, v.1.0.0] by mrt84\YouTubeSWFFlashWii\SWF_INPUT".

Step 5 Inject SWF into WAD

  • Press Enter when you are ready, the command will then unpack the WAD.
  • After it checks the SWF files from the SWF input, press Enter to continue.
  • The program will then ask if you want to inject the SWF, press "Y" for yes.
