I've installed over 20 wad files to my sd card using wad manager.. At first the few I choose to play worked fine.. But last night I when to play a few of the VC/WiiWare wads I installed and I get a "Failed to Launch" error.. I could just delete them I guess and play them in the emulator off the homebrew channel, but I'd like to play them from the sd channel instead.
Any idea or tutorials out there to help with this?

Do you have the same problem with those wads if you install them to NAND?

I'm not sure.. At first when I was installing the wads with 1.4 wad manager I kept getting the 2011 error.. I did some research and found that if I un-installed my current IS061 and installed cIS042 it should work.. The forum I found had all the files and detailed instuctions to do this and it worked perfect! problem was solved.. I installed all the wad and the ones I happened to check worked fine..(Excitebike, SuperMario All Stars, Castlevania Rebirth)... I should mention that I install them on the Wii Memory, then "move" them over to the SD Card.
So last night I decided to install a sh*t load more and moved them over the SD Card and when I went to play them I got the "Failed to Launch" error.. But I didn't know if it was me, or the Wad itself.. I went back to Wiiso.com and see alot of postings of people complaining that the wad don't work and I see other postings of links that do.. So you think it might just be a bad Wad??

I just went back to WIISO and saw that the poster explained that for many of the wiiware games you will need "IOS 53, 55, and 56 installed to run most of these games - Just install them with WAD Manager"
I currently have IOS42 installed, how many IOS's can I have installed on my Wii?? Should I install them all and have all four of them on there?

You can have as many as you want. IOS 53, 55 and 56 are official Nintendo files. I had to get them when I tried installing Lost Winds 2 and it wouldn't work. Installing just those 3 shouldn't disturb anything else.

I've had this error before... it's a region error. just download the wad again and be sure to get the correct region.
