Quote from Waninkoko

"I think WAD Manager LAN Edition is probably the best WAD Manager fork I've seen and very useful. I'm glad that my WAD Manager source code was useful to make an application like this.

Congratulations ;)

Also, I'll try to recommend people to use it for network wad installs."

WAD Manager - LAN Edition v0.3

It is not released yet because there are still some things to be implemented (directory navigation and some error checks). Subscribe to this blog so you will be notified when it is released!

This new version has a great performance improvement. Now it is only 10% slower than a local SD installation!

TO-DO:

* directory navigation

* remember last directory

* search server IP automatically (is it possible?)

v0.3:

* performance improvement

* config file created (server ip)

v0.1:

* initial version (not released)

* install/uninstall WADs from a single directory

Performance Analysis

I measured the average installation time for the following apps, always using the same WAD files.

WAD Manager v1.5

* Total Time: 37s

* Test Case: WAD file is already in SD card and it is installed from there

LAN Edition v0.1

* Total Time: 2min 40s

* Test Case: WAD file is downloaded to the SD card and then it is installed from there

LAN Edition v0.2

* Total Time: 3min 43s

* Test Case: WAD file is not downloaded and it is installed directly from the network (1KB chunks - wad manager default)

LAN Edition v0.3

* Total Time: 41s

* Test Case: WAD file is not downloaded and it is installed directly from the network (4MB chunks - new work)

LAN EDITION IS ONLY 10% SLOWER IN AVERAGE

WAD Manager - LAN Edition v0.1

With this homebrew app, you are able to install/uninstall WAD files directly from your PC to your Wii and it is based on WAD Manager v1.5 by waninkoko.

This solution consists of a PC application (server) and a Wii application (client). It will be released after the performance improvement during the WAD download!

TO-DO:

* performance improvement

* directory navigation

* remember last directory

* search server IP automatically

v0.1:

* initial version (not released)

* install/uninstall WADs from a single directory
