Homebrew Your Wii U NOW. 

@@newogame1 there is definitely a lot more potential with the Wii U. But the Wii sold much more so I guess it’s only logical that the Wii homebrewing scene js much bigger.

@@quitechrispy yes, and the wii is dirt cheap

im hoping aroma might change all that

The Wii U is great since it can’t only run all Wii games, but almost all Wii homebrew too!

welp if you think about it, it is actually bigger, since you have both the wii's homebrew AND the WiiU's homebrew scene

the essence of homebrewing isnt piracy, but the act of using the hardware you purchased how you want to. some people want to pirate games, and all the power to them, but as a general rule its reccomended to only do so if you have no other means of accessing it

@@CleanDeeds kkwkwkww

That's basically what I did 2 weeks ago. I mean I homebrewed it in the past but it collected dust when I bought the Switch. Now I revived it with Aroma, a home menu dark theme for the Wii U as well as vWii, all the amazing new ports (GTA 3, Vice City, Super Mario 64, Portal, Half-Life, Sonic 1/2/CD/Mania) Pretendo to play online, WiiLink to get all those beloved old Wii Channels back to glory and what should I say? It's kicking a$$es! What an amazing console it still is. There's even an Aroma-compatible port of RetroArch that you can find in Ploggy's signature on gbatemp. This thing is a beast, playing anything from NES/GB up to Wii U.

Mine was riping in the cellar for 6 years :D didn't expect it even would work with all the moist. But yes no problem it works like new and with the homebrew I love it more than my PS5

great to hear! you won’t regret it. thanks!

Wiiwowow

I actually did that and it was pretty cool. I also attempted to play minecraft 3ds edition on my wii u but by that point the lag was so bad that it broke and stopped streaming😂

Iwkwkw

I modded mine a couple years ago and basically did the same thing. I did the U side first and waited a few weeks to do the vWii. Finally getting both homebrewed was awesome. I wouldn't recommend using SD cards for loading games as it tends to make them fail way sooner. Be sure to back up your SD. I use two HDD's, one for U side and one for vWii. My Gamecube and Wii games are on the same HDD. I only use SD for homebrew and transfering Wii U games.

@@r3tr0sp3ct3r Only using the SD card for about 5 GC games I'll play. Have a dedicated GC console and a GCloader ODE for that.

Wait, how do you have two HDDs hooked up? Do they have external power supplies? My current HDD requires both rear USB ports. I also didn’t know the Wii U could detect multiple HDDs. This would be super useful, I need more space!!

@jeremysart If you use Aroma, there is a built in plugin to disable the hdd nag screen in WiiU mode when a second hard drive is connected. Just enable it to “true” in the plugin menu and format it NTFS or FAT32, if you want to use it in vWii mode and still have your WiiU hdd connected. Both my USB drives are portable using Y cables. Two in the front USB ports and two in the back USB ports.

wtf i can use my phone as a second wii u pad

wait wait wait OMFG SHORTS DONT EXIST ON THE WII U RU-vid APP CUZ ITS A PRE COVID VERSION KDJLKHFJDSIUHE;OGR

You need to mod it as the store shut down. Mod it, download the ROM, enjoy. Nintendo shouldn't care, they can't make any money on it anymore

How

@@Iegally How?

@@Orangatann by a church friend in 2016 that didn't want it

@@Max_Toons by a church friend that didn't want it

@@Iegally Grrr… lucky!

Is it basically just the switch kart 8 deluxe or is it different?

Same here. I used to own one but I don’t know where it is. I haven’t used it since 2020. Maybe I lost where it is when we moved out in late 2020 after our house had an electric fire. My mom managed to retrieve most of our assets but not my Wii U for some reason.

I just like being able to do what I want with my shit. Also physical games are literally dying.

I like hacking and modding in games and prefer to do it on real hardware as opposed to cemu, thats my reason why

@@OfficalKennyMcCormick Not me. It’s because Nintendo keeps killing their old consoles.

Kenny wouldn't say some gay shit like that, Ur a fake

@@Max_Toons yeah i agree with ya.

Try under your bed. It's usually under the bed

@@deansmits006 It’s not under my bed. If it was, I would’ve found it when I moved away last year because I moved my mattress to my new apartment AND my bed frame. Thank you, Mr. Helpful!

@@deansmits006 THANK YOU MR HELPFUL

Look up a video it should be very simple, you will most likely need SD card and SD card reader tho

I think it’s easier than modding a 3ds. Anyone can do it

not all games are injectable right now. i hope that changes, i bought all these retro switch controllers to play them with the original controllers.

Ieieieiww

@@LetsPlayHomieGamer thanks man

@@quitechrispy no problem!

you ain't popular

@@A340AirFrance Maybe, but from my stats i get 5k to 9k views

YAUAIA

Not at all! One of the strenghts of modding a Wii U is how easy and quick it is. If you follow the guide correctly, you'll be done in 30-45 min. Kinda like the 3DS.

@@supdan okay but what about SD cards isn't that what you need to do it? I think I lost the one that came with my Wii U

@@tzarg Well, yeah, you need one. Personally I use a 32GB one and it's more than enough. If you want to have a lot of Wii U games, those will be stored on an USB stick or external HDD/SSD, so don't worry too much about the size of the SD card. The only reason I could think of for needing a big SD is if you download a lot of games from the unofficial h-shop (it's the e-shop but everything is free), because they will be downloaded to SD fist and only then installed to either USB or the internal storage. You can delete the file afterwards, once it's installed, to reclaim the space on your SD, though. Also, if you want to have a lot of Wii and GameCube games on vWii, those are all gonna go either on the SD or on the USB. So keep an eye out for that too. The bottom line is, if you want a lot of games on the Wii U side, you'll need a big USB, not SD: a 32GB card will be perfectly ok. However, if you want many games on the vWii side, then you'll need either a big USB or a big SD. The choice is yours, you don't need both for that. If I wasn't clear in any way feel free to ask.

​@@tzargpretty sure you just need a generic SD card. Less then $10

@@deansmits006 ok admittedly that was a dumb argument, I've bought an SD card now but I'm using it to homebrew the Wii side instead

Ok

Get one

I got three, keep up mf
