How to play any GameCube game through Wii U Virtual Console - UWUVCI Tutorial 2024 

Thanks for watching!

Thanks :D

No worries! Glad I was helpful in this video.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

That's awesome! Glad you enjoyed the videos.

Yes, I just mentioned doing it anyway. Thanks for pointing that out though.

@@Xemns oh yeah of course lol. I always would modding the vwii anyway when you do mod a wii u (especially if you don't own a wii)

@@therealmarioplumber7440 I found out that a Wii U console only can be cheaper than a Wii. As long as you have a gamepad to set it up and install CFW. You can also set it up to boot directly into the vWii as well. Maybe I'll make a video on this in the future.

@@Xemns Yeah that's true. I was lucky to get the wii u console itself for 25 bucks and have the rest given to me for free by a friend

So I can just inject the game file as I did the other consoles and just play? I don’t want to spend that much time tinkering so it’ll save some time

Thanks for watching!

👍

They should be installed on the hard drive formatted by your Wii U.

Yup

I'll get it around to it soon as a bonus video most likely. I personally just don't have an interest in using that portion of the virtual console.

I feel that HEAVY. There are only like two or three games I'm interested in at all. Thanks for getting back to me

@@funnyjoke9225 No problem!

Not sure if you can use a USB drive for both Wii U and vWii things. I think I remember seeing a tutorial for it years ago, but I don't think it's possible due to the encryption of the drive. You can use the GamePad using the GameCube and Wii injections

By banners I'm assuming you mean picture all around. The answer is yes, you can change the option in Nintendont configuration. I PERSONALLY do not like 16 by 9 for GameCube games.

@@Xemns I mean having artwork covering those black bars.

@@PlanetGamz I'm sorry. I don't think it's an option.

The one showed in this video (Rhythm Heaven) should work for pretty much every single game. My guess is that you got a bad rom, so try looking around for a better one. Thanks for the kind words!

@@Xemns Sorry, I meant smash bros brawl for the Wii, all my GC injections work great thanks to your tutorial :) I'll try looking for another rom then, cheers mate

@@dandensao428 For sure! Also Brawl works great for me, so it should for you as well if you found that rom.

Yes that would work as long as you have the adaptor.

Works on nearly all of them

There are other ones that exist such as TeconMoon's injector. I started out using that one.

I don't think so. Sorry about that.

The GameCube injects are all basically Nintendont. Then it loads the backup from the inject. You need Nintendont to run this and have to set it up properly. You can use a GamePad or a Pro Controller. Hope it works out for you!

@@Xemns Thank you!

Try another SD card. If that doesn't work it might be your SD card slot.

On nintendont or in game?

Yes. I think there is a setting for that in Nintendont.

You can delete it :)

Try injecting it again. The files might have been corrupted while you were copying them.

No. It is separate and will be saved to your SD card.

Force reset the application using Task Manager and try it again.

Try injecting it again. If that doesn't work, try using another SD card.

What controller are you trying to use? You simply need to sync the controller and make sure it is player 1 and it should work. You also need to decline using a Wii U gamepad.

What does the vWii have to do with Pretendo? Sorry I am confused

@@Xemns Sorry, I’ll just be more specific, how can I emulate memory cards when booting GameCube games from the WiiU menu?

I haven't tried the injector you are using, any issues?

Nope never. This program is pretty well made. Also that setup is outdated anyways.

@@Xemns thanks I'll give it a shot

Thanks! I haven't tried the 2 disc games yet but I assume the disc is switched automatically.

It should work on the NAND. I just prefer installing on a USB.

@@Xemns i figured it out my antivirus was deleting part of it without telling me when it injected lol

@@Lolbigfart Glad you found the root of the problem. It can be a massive pain sometimes.

Yes you can!

@@Xemns alright ty is cus i only got a lil bit of space in my sd card 😅

I feel your pain before I upgraded mine

I really can't help you with that since I have never used it. I don't recommend using discontinued software.

Do you have the adaptor? And is it connected to the back of the console when you are using them? I'm sorry, but I'm not sure cause I don't own an adaptor myself or even any gamecube controllers. I'll try to ask around and get back to you.

@Xemnas I've been using the front ports. My external ssd is plugged into the back ports.

@@Eatpeople From what I heard you could use the Smash 4 Gamecube Controller ports to USB. If not you can try an alternative method. I know for a fact that some homebrew loaders let you use them!

You can save them on your SD card, but unfortunately this method doesn't allow to run them off your SD card. For that you want the Nintendont forwarder on your Wii U menu.

I am getting the iso files from the internet.

Hey there! Have you tried updating your program? Also, I would like to point out that issues with folders appearing usually has to do with special characters, so make sure to remove those!

you might need java on your pc, not sure tho

@@maxduif4728 Yeah try that out

That happens sometimes if you click many at once. The best thing to do is to save and reload the game.

This is a feature from Nintendont: press - (minus/select) to switch the button mapping

Yes if you select it when booting it does.

@@Xemns sorry, but the option that says "Disable gamepad" i don't quite understand, although i have a vague memory of me playing the game with my gamepad, it's weird, like where it is say to "boot it with gamepad" i just like to be specific and stuff like that, sorry.

No problem :)

Also, I would have to inject every single game again if I changed something, would I??

@@ZFighter14 Yes you can change them and just generate another config file anytime. These are just my suggestions. And no, you don't need to reinject the games.

@@Xemns okay, awesome. Thanks for the help! 🙌🏼 Also, would you know by chance if the bonus disc for Pokémon Colosseum is supposed to be treated as its own inject, or if it goes in the disc 2 slot as part of the main game?? I tried to put the two together, and it, like, froze after a while.

@@ZFighter14 Pretty sure it goes in as it's own game since I don't know which first game you are referring to.

@@Xemns Pokémon Colosseum. You've never heard of it?

Go to titlekeys.ovh Can't help beyond that

There aren't enough buttons to do that so I don't think it's possible. You can also use a Wii Pro Controller

You can use a pro controller or the GameCube adaptor with the controller. But yes if you keep the option you can play with the gamepad. Hope this helps!

@@Xemns Thanks

Try injecting it again. The game is corrupted.

What is it saying? If you are having issues, do a LIGHT reinstall of your vWii using this video and follow the instructions are the end. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qMKfTAj9kog.html

I did mine with aroma and it worked fine

Tiramisu and Aroma are CFW

cfw means custom firmware

Try a different iso file.

@@Xemns yeah I'm getting it with most of the isos I try

Did you download Nintendont properly?

Possible solutions: 1. Make sure that you have the most up to date program: github.com/stuff-by-3-random-dudes/UWUVCI-AIO-WPF/releases/tag/v3.0.1 2. Make sure that games with special characters do not have any or WUP installer might fail to install them properly. 3. Make sure that you are installing to a USB first and then the system memory. 4. Install .Net Core on your PC: dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-3.1.6-windows-x64-installer 5. Make sure that CFW is correctly installed on your Wii U. 6. Use another SD card. 7. Use another base in the injector.

1. Launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel in vWii mode. 2. The saves are located on a folder on your SD card /saves. They are saved in a .raw format. You can convert them using a program called Dolphin.

​@@Xemns Unfortunately I can't change the Nintendont settings this way because the games are injected and installed on an external USB that's formatted via the WiiU as external storage (per the hack instructions) so they don't show up in Nintendont when loaded because Nintendont can't read the external drive when I click on it in the app. With that said, I figured out I can change the settings in the Tecomoon injector app on the PC by loading the ISO file of the specific game into it, then clicking on the Nintendont options and changing them, then clicking regenerate nintendont config file, and voila, it works when I reload the game on the WiiU. What I'm trying to figure out now is how to get the game to be 4x3 but fill the screen top to bottom, without stretching it. Gamecube games load up in the center of my 4k tv and are letterboxed on all sides. People online are saying that Nintendont has a bug where it can't present the gamecube games correctly, you either have it stretched a little bit or smaller on the screen, and then use your tv zoom feature to fix it. Unfortunately my tv when it zooms in, it loses v-sync on the gamecube game and I get tearing in the image. Very weird!

@@fixorbricks Thanks for the information. Glad you could figure that out.

They should work correctly. GameCube games are confirmed working so try going through the guide again and make sure you have all required files.

@@Xemns do you think because i used flash ?

@@goromakisan263 No that should not cause any issues

@@Xemns do you recommend to delete ninconfig and nintendont and do all steps from begining?

@@goromakisan263 Yes

Of course!

@@Xemns Thank you!!

It will close your game. Unfortunately I don't think Nintendont supports save states or anything of that nature

@@Xemns shame! just wanted that feature for when I played at work and had to sudden pause for something urgent, not a dealbreaker tho, thanks!

@@kojithecow4758 NP!

Try exiting the program and trying it again.

@@Xemns do you mean, try to inject the game again? using uwuvci? because after booting the game my console automaticaly turn off, already trying booting the gamecube inject again three times and my wii u always turn off by itselft. thanks anyway for replying my question.

i found the problem, its because of corupt raw saves file. i deleted the file and problem solved.

@@UncleLuzer Glad you figured that out!

Thanks! No I'm still very active in answering comments. I'm planning on releasing some new videos soon!

I think so. You can connect multiple pro controllers at once to the console.

@@Xemns yea but is it also possible with injected Gamecube games ?

@@ProfessorUFC From what I've heard, yes.

Can you hit the Wii U home button while playing a GC game? Can you leave the game through the home menu or do you have to press a specific Nintendont button combination? And can you add controllers or change the controller order while you’re playing the GC game? And is it possible for example to have the Gamepad as Player 1 and 3 Wii U pro controllers as player 2, 3 and 4?

You can try using the Wii virtual console instead in the vWii to play those games. It's not perfect unfortunately. Here is a link to the program: www.mediafire.com/file/6oheiqpiu0b35hl/WII+INJECT+TOOLS.rar

Probably. Try another one.

@@Xemns The game is LEGO Star Wars 2 and every iso I download seems bad. I might have to rip the disc I have using my Wii.

@@willmorris8334 it could also be your USB

@@Xemns The other games I've injected are fine. LEGO Star Wars 2 is the only one that's like that. The iso I have works every time through Nintendont but the injection only works half the time. I've been trying all kinds of stuff but nothing works

@@willmorris8334 That's weird. Never have heard of issues like that with Nintendont

Follow through ALL of the steps in the guide and make sure memory card emulation is ON in your Nintendont config file.

Google :P

No you do not need it, but I do recommend keeping all of your backups in one spot if you have the storage to.

@@Xemns awesome! Also I was wondering, earlier I did install a game and it worked but I had it in the forced HD I saw how it looked and you were right lol. I went to fix it but now when I install an app with ??? Shows up. Any idea? Thanks for the reply btw you’re a really helpful dude!

@@TheLimedew Try reinjecting it! This happens then the banner or icon gets corrupted.

Google is your friend for that.

@@Xemns do u need to import the game images in manually ?

@@monsterstorm78 Some games have them already made.

@@Xemns hey is there an way to make the quality look bette on the tv as well when playing on the Wii U when u inject games on this software ?

Not that I know of. In my experience, games look better in 4:3.

Not from what I know. It goes into Wii mode so it automatically goes to 480p.

Yes, it should work as long as your vWii is modded. Let me know what the outcome is.

@@Xemns The games work pretty good, and surprisingly I didn't needed to hack my vWii. Thanks for this amazing guide, you've got a new suscriber!

@@dinguspingus7832 Thanks for watching!

Try exiting the program and trying it again.

@@Xemns thanks for the help! My issue was solved by just waiting a bit. The file was bigger than i expected.

@@roberta.8747 No problem!

Are you turning the gamepad on? That might be causing the issue. If not, try resyncing everything and using a wired pro controller. The Wiimote is not supported.

​@@Xemnsthanks for advice I'll check it soon 👍

@@aerosmithuuu4962 No problem. Good luck!

Might be an issue with your external drive.

Never heard of this issue. Are you sure you have Nintendont installed correctly AND the config file?

@@Xemns Yeah both of those are as they should be. I think it's coming down to the SD card or USB flash drive I'm using because anytime I insert the usb drive, it has to format on the wii u but then that will undo the fat32 format I did on my pc

@@Xemns I don't think you mentioned in the video yourself but by are you any chance using a flash drive to download and store your games to play or are you just using the sd card?

@@MewTooie I am using this program, which switches out the ISO for the game I injected and runs off the USB OR your system memory. The SD card is where the saves are stored since there is no other place for them to go. Sorry if that is a little confusing.

If you are using a USB drive, it must be specially formatted with your Wii U.

i don't se on this ovh site for my games, and Rhytm heaven so?

Look it up since this is copyrighted content

You need to use that to save your data

@@Xemns so the sd card only holds save data of games and apps like nintendont and vwii?

@@limitlessboy6423 It holds the gamecube saves. Everything else is saved to your USB.

@@Xemns and snes and gameboy saves are also saved on the sd card? And do i need a specific loader for gameboy and snes games like nintendont to inject them?

Nevermind i‘ve injected a couple of games and it worked.

Yup! You need the Wii U Gamecube adaptor attached to your Wii U and the controller should work.

@@Xemns yea I got a pdobq third party adapter that doesn’t work. I heard the may flash adapter works though so I’m going to try that out

@@superthot8359 Let me know how that goes.

@@Xemns may flash adapter works. Everything running smoothly

Cool!

What games are you trying to use? All of them should work. Also, make sure you mod your vWii wiiu.hacks.guide

Try using another SD card, another slot on your pc, or cleaning the pins with rubbing alcohol.

@@Xemns i know im a year late but this worked, thank you.

It should! I've had many PAL Wii U owners in the comments

What game is it? All GameCube games have been pretty much confirmed working.

@@Xemns Pikmin 2

@@enternam_6856 That one has been confirmed working. Try another ISO and make sure Nintendont is installed properly.

@@enternam_6856 This happened to me with simpsons hit & run. I had to remove the special character "&" and replace it with "and", then it loaded. So make sure there are no special character in the title name when you are creating the injection build.

Thanks for pointing that out

I've gotten this question before, and from what I know you cannot. You can use a GameCube controller instead if you prefer to.

No, but why do you need to use another region base?

@@Xemns Thats fine then, I could only find the keys for a base that was a different region to my console. Thats all.

@@Username-vb9if I understand. Let me know if you have any other issues.

It should work? Try another game backup

@@Xemns could it be because i used the pal version and not the ntsc ?

@@Calle_1999 Might be

I don't think you need it (as mentioned in the video), but I recommend just doing it anyway.

There is a dark filter? I never knew/realized that.

@@Xemns The WiiU VC of NES, SNES and N64 have dark filters on them which makes the games much darker and makes the colours pop out less. Its for epilepsy reason

@@Xemns I’ve not tried the other VC games so not sure if it’s on them to

@@AZBCDE That makes sense. For the most part they don't bother me, but I know they can ruin the image quality a bit. Not sure how you can remove them for anything that isn't N64.

@@Xemns I have used this tool before and there is no option to take off the dark filter for N64 games. So they end up being very dark

Please force restart the application using Task Manager.

@@Xemns did that already, didnt help(( also tried to wait some time, but didnt help either, the program stands as frozen as it was(

Try reinstalling it. If that doesn't work ask on the UWUVCI Discord.

? Check the site in the video

@@Xemns it wont work

@@falco4evr it should check it again

Have you tried using it plugged into your Wii remote? From what I know, you can't. You need another Wii U Pro Controller or GameCube one with the adaptor.

The saves are created on your SD card.

Yes

Did you start the Nintendo Config tool and generate the file properly? If not check out: 3:08

@@Xemns ah no worries, I figured it out. Thanks for all of ur hard work tho!

@@totallynotjp Thanks for watching!

They should work correctly. GameCube games are confirmed working so try going through the guide again and make sure you have all required files.
