+# Sharpii - A command line libWiiSharp tool
+
+Sharpii is a command line app for windows that I (person66) made, which uses leathl's libWiiSharp.dll (as of version 1.2 it acutally uses scooby74029's mod of libWiiSharp) to perform tasks such as:
+- Pack, unpack, or edit .wad files
+- Pack, and unpack U8 archives
+- Patch IOS .wad files with various patches
+- Download files from NUS
+- Convert a .wav file to .bns, and vice versa
+- Convert an image file to a .tpl, and vice versa
+- Send a .dol or .wad to the Homebrew Channel over Wi-Fi
+
