===Piracy===
WAD files are often used in piracy. Homebrew such as Wad Manager by [[Waninkoko]] installs these WAD files, more often than not pirated VC games, so it can be playable on the Wii.

Unfortunately, WAD files are often used to distribute pirated channels (both Virtual Console and WiiWare), due to the fact that they are also used by Nintendo and therefore easy to create installers for. Wiibrew does not in any way endorse piracy, and as such these uses of WAD files should not be discussed.

If you wish to discuss legitimate WAD files, please ensure you make clear which file you are talking about and what you will use it for, to prevent people jumping to conclusions about your intentions.
