Nobody is using a WAD Installer to install firmware updates from Nintendo. What about WADs? Well, what kinds of things come packaged as WADs? I don’t believe there is much argument on this point. This doesn’t change the fact that the reason anybody in the world wants an ISO Loader for their game console is so that they can rip a game disc into an ISO, put it up on BitTorrent, and trade with their friends without “wasting money” on recordable media. I made some semi-brick fix ISOs, and we also made some Homebrew Channel Installation discs available, too. You can download a bootable Linux ISO (for your computer, and eventually for your Wii). Of course, this is not always the case and there are exceptions. Unlike other containers, WADs and ISOs are generally used for self-contained, bootable content. They are container formats (like ZIP files and TAR archives), which means they can contain all sorts of different things - some good and wholesome, some evil and foolish. WAD files and ISO files are very similar, in fact. There still seems to be some confusion about why we turn our noses up at WAD-manipulation tools, so I think an analogy is in order.
