You need an app called Gecko OS and a cheat manager. Enter the cheat code files (.txt) into the manager through the handy "open" button, select the cheat codes you want and send them to the SD. then change the settings in Gecko OS to allow for cheats and play with cheats.

How do you put it on the Wii?

Download it from Wiibrew.

I have the program, but how do I put it on the SD card so the Wii reads it?

find the HBC folder in it. copy the Gecko192 folder into the "apps" folder on the SD card. It should appear in the HBC.

Thank you, I'll try this

That should only get the Gecko OS app on. You also need a cheat manager and cheats.

EDIT: OK, I can't seem to find them. If someone would care to step in...

Just to make sure...do you have HBC installed yet?

EDIT: And cheat manager is found here : [wiibrew.org]

EDIT: And to get cheats, use code downloader, found here: [wiibrew.org]

Download codes with code downloader, then use cheat manager to generate a CHT file, then use Gecko OS with Ocarina cheats enabled to run the game.

Yeah. You need the Homebrew Channel already installed. If not, Here is how to install it.

I just installed it last night. So I assume i no longer need the software I used to install it. by the way, Will it work ok on my Wii if it's not connected to the internet? also, does the "apps" folder have to be all lowercase?

Yes, apps needs to be lowercase.The Wii doesn't need internet.

Ok, thanks, I think I'm good now. I can't wait 'till I get home and try this.

If he wants to use code downloader, he needs an internet connection.

What folder to you put the cheat code files in on the SD card?

The Ocarina Cheat Manager sends them to the correct folder by default. Slect the SD card drive letter and it makes the folder automatically and writes the codes to it.

So, is this done on the Wii or the computer?

The Cheat Manager is on the COmputer. It reads Cheat code TXT files and exports the to the SD as GCT files. Then Gecko OS (the replacement for Ocarina) Loads the games with cheats assuming you have told it to in the settings.

Where is the cheat manager for the computer?

I think Cheat Manager is used on the Wii actually maniac. And the link is in my post above.
