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

How was it?

@@Mr_Grape It was great! Got to see a few friends and got a few streetpasses at the border :P

Glad that they are helpful. And thanks for that follow on Twitch!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

@@Xemns I have a question though, what file do you use to make a vwii home brew channel forwarder bc I can’t find a boot.dol in my sd card

@@dartanyandrinkall You have to extract the WAD for the homebrew channel for that. If I recall correctly, the title id is LULZ.

@@Xemns where do you extract it from?

@@dartanyandrinkall Use Wii Mod Lite

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Yes, WBFS files work just fine :)

You can safely install them on the NAND. I just recommend moving on there after installing to a USB. Just keep in mind if that CFW isn't enabled you cannot launch the games.

@@Xemns All right thank you! Now I just installed Mario Kart Double Dash following your Gamecube video and it worked perfectly, the same with Super Paper Mario (through Nusspli) and also worked very well. I understand that Tiramisu is a permanent CFW, because I could install these games and others of Nusspli without problems, and every time I go out to the menu or turn ON the console, the Wii U Gamepad screen appears glitched with a white horizontal line below, I suppose that happens when Tiramisu load in the console, like a "CFW that is loaded by default/automatically" isn't it? Last question. Because of this, can I also install Nusspli games on the NAND? I know that it is recommended to install them on a USB but it is curiosity, sorry xD Also thanks for responding quickly, you have been very helpful!!

You can install anything on your NAND! Sorry for the late reply.

Of course dude!

It needs to be Wii U formatted.

Yes they can be. I think you'll need to find a backup in which they are not split, since the use of splitting is for partition related reasons.

The differences aren't as big as I thought they would be.

I use a 256 USB Sandisk Flash Drive and it works perfectly on my Wii U. If you decide to use an HDD Go into Data Management, hold down on the d-pad, +, and -, and the option to disable hard drive sleep will show up. This keeps your files from potentially getting corrupted. It's happened to me before and it's not a fun time...

@@Xemns Sounds good. I think a 256 GB card might be too small for what I want to go far. At least UWUVCI doesn't show a plugged external HDD so I'm not sure if that works

@@syeo501 You have to install the inject through WUP installer GX2 if that is what you are confused about.

Yes it will! And thanks for the support, it is very appreciated!

You can also try googling it.

Look at my gamecube setup video.

Nope, the data will be shared between both.

Try using another backup to inject the game.

Yea it should be fine

Yeah you are right. I use Sony Vegas, but I'm not very experienced with it right now. Additionally, my PC is in need of a new graphics card right now and effects lag a lot.

@@Xemns I don't know what GPU you have, but I've got an old 750 ti if you want it

@@TheDeadCactus I think my current Nvidia GPU is more powerful. It's totally fine though. I'm going to buy a new one soon. Appreciate the offer though!

@@Xemns No problem! The GPU market is crashing to the ground right now so it's definitely a good time to buy! Hope it all goes well for you!

I haven't been able to get Wii Play: Motion working myself. Can't tell you about Pokémon Battle Revolution.

Glad I could help!

I think it should work. Let me know how it goes.

Back it up again or find version that isn't split.

Uh oh... Try using bootcamp then

Yeah you should be able to.

What is your question? Just check out wiiu.guide and it should have a good amount of information to mod your Wii U.

I believe it does not matter.

What do you mean they don't load? Most Wii games without any special IOSs should work.

Yup!

That's fine it should still inject.

It is pretty funny

Pretty sure that the korean vWii does not exist so that might be why. Try out another base or game backup and let me know how that goes.

I would try just loading that from your OTP.bin file and it should work.

@@Xemns thanks bro, it was just taking a long time for some reason 🫡😂

Nope.

Try another storage device.

@@Xemns thanks for the reply. i asked around and the problem is my HDD stops for a second when loading wii mode, so i bought an ssd with a y-splitter and it worked.

@@realweifi Nice! Glad you figured it out.

Probably sure. If it doesn't either find it online or use your NAND backup.

I would try the same way you would normally. Your base region will be different though since there is no Korean vWii.

Yeah that happens sometimes.

I don't CTGP:R would work, but Project M should if it's a patched version of the game.

Yeah it should definitely work. I think you are better off downloading the game though.

You could’ve just downloaded the virtual console version that already existed

Find the common key from the internet or your NAND backup.

Try doing it again. I haven't tried that game on a horizontal Wii remote and know some levels require motion controls, so it may not be the best way to play.

Did you ever fix this? I'm having the same issue.

WADs will only work as forwarders if I recall correctly. Try reinstalling the program.

@@Xemns am i supposed to just use the wad file as an inject rom? If so, ive tried reinstalling UWU and even used a different pc but i keep getting the same error.

Yes, use the WAD. Try redownloading rhythm heaven feaver

I think in slot 0 (bottom slot if you Wii U is horizontal) they should work?

Doesnt seem to work@@Xemns

@@yann1ci Try the other slot. If not use USB loader GX or wiiflow and create a forwarder using wiigsc

Do you have enough space?

@@Xemns yes

@@Neptune1995 Try reinstalling the program.

Sure can!

As long as they are on your system memory.

Nope. All this does it create shortcuts.

Might not exist for your game. Try making one yourself

@@Xemns Actually had to update the App to 3.Z, i had version 3.F

@@TheFlashface101 Good!

Did you try the "use gamepad as" option in the injector?

@@Xemns so where is that option I have tried force classic controller and classic controller heard brawl as an bad ass mod that I want to try project m so that's why

@@cyberEXEgaming It's one of the configuration options in the injector. It should work if you choose to use the gamepad. Try the regular classic controller and don't force it if you are still having issues.

So use gamepsd as u got the 6 options u showed in ur video, but I don't have a wii remote nor sensor anymore and want to use my gamepad as the remote if that makes sense

@@cyberEXEgaming Does it still ask for the Wii remote to go into Wii menu? I'm assuming that's that the problem is rn.

The game supports the classic controller, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you. Try the "force classic controller" option as well...

Some games won‘t react to the gamepad but if you synchronize a wii mote once with the console then they will work.

You need to install the WiiWare game on your vWii system memory in order to get that to work.

​@@Xemns So basically it just becomes a forwader, huh?

@@acejosephcross Yup. No really way to emulate that since games get copied to your system memory even if you save them to your sd card. It's just how the system was hard coded.

There are plenty out there. Just do a quick google search.

I am confused about the problem you are facing. I have never had that issue. Try reinstalling and see if that helps?

@@Xemns I’ve already uninstalled it and even tried it on a different computer, I have no idea what might be causing it

@@chromozed6418 Did you try updating?

@@Xemns One computer was on the latest version of windows 10 the other one was windows 11 latest update.

@@chromozed6418 I'm talking about the program.

What format is it?

@@Xemns Nvm I had it in the wrong format I figured it out. Do you have any suggestions on where to get roms

@@Haha-vw3ff Google :)

Yes but they have to be on your system memory.

I think that the PAL version would be better to use but both should work.

@@Xemns Thank you. PAL as Base worked for me.

@@yann1ciGreat!

Close the program using task manager and try again.

@@Xemns I’m trying but it won’t close. Last time I turned the computer off and then I couldn’t open the application again. I ended up deleting the entire thing and redownloading, but this is what stuck me last time as well

Completely reinstall the program again.

Then you should be fine.

@@Xemns i injected links crossbow training but when i launch it its just a black screen

Well then... use an ancast key (google it).

The internet, due to the fact that my original disc was scratched up.

@@tievebauntraffic I know I commented this some time ago

If you can't extract it, then I recommend that you look it up.

@@Xemns Okay, is the ancast key required for this?

@@HorrorKidtheReviewer20 Yes

@@Xemns I've been trying to inject Castlevania the Adventure Rebirth but I kept getting the "cannot find the specified file" message. Should I use a different base?

Yeah try that out. If not ask on the UWUVCI discord.

Try a Japanese base instead.

@@Xemns Thank you for your reply but i cant find japanese base title key

@@Xemns It solved with another method base game did not matter Sorry to bother you

@@bt5601 No worries. Glad you figured it out!

Look it up

@@Xemns i cannot find anything for the c key man :(

Unfortunately, I don't think that will happen. However I think USB Loader GX has the option if you have the correct adaptor.

@@Xemns oh dang. I can only see the gamecube controller settings under nintendont, so I assume it's not for wii games?

@@kinnklem8534 Unfortunately, not through UWUVCI

@@Xemns I meant in usb loader gx, as you mentioned

@@kinnklem8534 Try following this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VbrpvjRIyzM.html&ab_channel=KrashPlays

Google or extract it yourself using the Wii U NAND dumper.

@@Xemns no what im saying is I have the otp.bin in my Wii U backups folder but it doesn’t let me press the button

@@tqanims5795 Then Google it

I think if you get the app hid to vpad, you can attempt to use that to emulate the gamepad. The gamepad would be emulating the classic controller or Wii remote. A bit of a process... but it would work in theory.

@@Xemns thanks mate, I have no idea how to do that lol. Any chance of a guide or video?

@@cchoudhury6991 I might make a video on it in the future, if I can get it working myself.

@@Xemns That would be awesome if you could get it to work! But it seems that hid to vpad quits after going into Vwii.

But it should work with any other game excluding Wii & GameCube since they enter Vwii.

Glad the tip was useful. Good luck with backing up all those games!

Try using another game backup.

@@Xemns you mean game base

@@Xemns not work

can I send you a video somewhere so you can see what happens to me when I start the game

Sure? Try using another source to download your game.

Nope, you have to use a program like WiiFlow to do that. I may make a tutorial on this in the future.

@@Xemns awwww welp, i tried using wiiflow for my vwii but it stops functioning after the wiiflow logo appears

And i tried using usb helper gx too but nope, it works but it doesn't recognize my games and i swear i tried everything

You need to have IOS files installed properly. Watch this guide starting from 7:20 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qMKfTAj9kog.html

Yes you just use the WAD instead of an ISO or WBFS file. However, it needs to be installed on your wii system memory first.

@@Xemns how can i installed in wii system?

@@goromakisan263 Get the WAD and install it with a WAD manager such as Wii Mod Lite. Your vWii needs to be modded for this to work.

Yes, but they have to be on your vWii system memory.

In order to download the bases you need to use them.

@@Xemns thanks 😊

@@monsterstorm78 No problem :)

Yup. Any region base is fine with any game.

Yes, but they have to be on your vWii system memory.

@@Xemns how do i install it there? install to nand?

@@crunchybee Yes using the WAD

No because it is copyrighted content.

@@Xemns well could you at least tell me how or where you got the base?

@@Neptune1995 It's in the video

Tiramisu isn't that hard to install.

That was a goal from a much earlier time in my RU-vid channel. It's a lot of work with everything else to balance such as streaming and my personal life.
