Hacking Wii U Homebrew Wish List - Homebrew Idea Thread

[PhyChris]

wiiu equivalent of nintendont running wii titles in HD with shaders

I mainly just want updated emulators. Get all the emulators for the Wii but add support for the Gamepad and Wii U Pro and add filters if possible. I'd especially love to see GenPlusGX to also include X32 games, and I'd also love an actually functioning N64 and Playstation 1 emulator, the ones for Wii and vWii are a joke. Though since development on N64 emulators even on PC is pretty much dead I don't have too high of hopes for a decent one on Wii U.

An updated Nintendont would also be killer, maybe also include Wii games compatibility? There'd probably be concerns over piracy so I would understand if they didn't add Wii game support.

Also, one of the most important things to add is a cheat application similar to Gecko. The first step towards Project M Smash 4 edition.

Considering the Wii was able to run DOSbox and subsequently Windows 95, perhaps not Windows 10 may work, but there may be another version that's older that could work, say, XP or 7 (Not Vista because it sucks).

DOSBox could run Windows 95 because it was internally DOS-based. For all modern Windows versions (XP, Vista, 7, and so on), the Windows NT core is used, which requires full 32-bit or 64-bit processor support.

"Partition tool"? What for? For a HDD? (Just curious. Messing with the eMMC isn't the best idea, though, if that's what you're thinking)

for any external hdd

If you have *n*x on the Wii U, boom, you have partition tools. (gparted)

i dont no if it would be possible but i would like to see someone add in compatability for using 2 wii u gamepads

AFAIK that's only for developers, but it might be possible once we control IOSU.

To add on to that, it likely requires a DRH firmware change, which I think we can't do without IOSU access, since the firmware is its own title.

do you mean its already possible but only for developers? although there wouldnt be any wii u titles that are compatable i think there could be some great homebrew possibilitys that could use this

Running back ups would be a nice idea, if no one had thought about it yet! I would luv to be able to back up my collection and use them.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, qemu was used to get Win95 running on the original Wii in conjunction with dosbox.....

Running windows 10 will not happen, even with something like qemu, the cpu emulation alone required to actually run it wouldn't have enough resources to work with on the Wii U. I could see maybe XP happening though

Don't know if it's possible, but streaming the 3DS screens to the TV using the connection between the Wii U and 3DS!!!

I wanted to make a thread to come up with some creative ideas of what homebrew you would like to use/play/have ported from Wii Homebrew.

I would love a nice game of Go.

Nintendo owns the printing money one.

 

[Deleted User]

Something that allows you to use UTAUloid on the WiiU.
Maybe even VOCALOID 1, 2, 3 or 4.

This. So much this. I bought my Wii U with the partial expectation that a "3DS Player" might turn up at some point, but Nintendo is still failing us on that one. If someone can get a 3DS to stream through the Wii U I will worship them

be careful what you wish for somebody might make one and then not release it
