<b>TwlNmenu</b> is the name of an application that comes bundled with TWLSDKs and the [[SystemUpdater]]. This application installs TAD files, an installable archive developed by Nintendo, similar to the Nintendo Wii's WAD archives. TwlNmenu is able to ''install'' all types of NAND programs, however the NAND tab will only display user apps (TIDs starting with '''00030004'''). This may have been done to prevent developers from erasing necessary system programs.

The installable format, TAD share many similarities to the WAD format, including the same offsets for title ID's and using the same devsign as WADs. A TAD can be resigned using Wii resigning tools and a RVL devkey. However, due to TwlNmenu's anti-tampering methods, the tool lets you not install resigned TAD files.

The installable format, TAD, shares many similarities with the WAD format, including using the same offsets for title ID's and even using the same devsign as WADs. This can be explained by a commit to TwlIPL<ref>[https://github.com/rvtr/TwlIPL/commit/baca65d35d5d62d815c88e6374b895d5b0755277 TwlIPL r290 (GitHub)]</ref> where there's a mention of the WAD format being renamed to TAD.  Because TADs are derived from WADs, they can be resigned using Wii resigning tools and an RVL devkey; however, TwlNmenu has anti-tampering methods which will prevent you from installing resigned TAD files.

The TAD format can be created using a tool included with the TWLSDK, named '''Maketad'''. Only applications that can be installed in the folder 00030004 can be created with this tool. Neither TwlNmenu lets you install TAD files from a different folder if you have one.
