Hacking Could you install USA VC on a EU Wii U ?

Der_Blockbuster · Jan 24, 2017

I was just wondering if it would brick yo console

NO it won't brick if you using a cfw with regionfree it will launch like normal.

If you cfw doesn't have regionfree it just won't launch

This is particularly useful for 50Hz PAL Wii U VC games

NES
Balloon Fight
Kirby's Adventure
Street Gangs
Ufouria: The Saga

SNES
Donkey Kong Country 2
Harvest Moon
Legend of The Mystical Ninja
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Pop'n Twinbee
Pop'n Twinbee: Rainbow Bell Adventures
Super Metroid

N64
Donkey Kong 64
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Paper Mario
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Pokémon Snap

You should always install the US (60Hz) version of these 16 games, if your PAL wiiU is region patched (CBHC or Mocha).

Now that we're at it, here's also a (this time incomplete) list of 50Hz PAL Wii-era games

50hz only: (confirmed)
Call of Duty 3
Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 + 3
Gottlieb Pinball Classics
Harvest Moon Magical Melody
Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility
Harvest Moon Animal Parade
Heatseeker
Little King's Story
MadWorld
Mario Party 8
Samurai Warriors 3
Scarface
Sega Bass Fishing
Super Mario All Stars
Tenchu Shadow Assassins
Tiger Woods 07

Unconfirmed?
Baroque
Bomberman Land
Dragon Ball Revenge of King Piccolo
Kororinpa Marble Mania
Samurai Warriors Katana
Some licensed titles, probably

576i/480i (non 480p)only titles:
Case Closed
Metal Slug Anthology (and maybe other compilations)
Rune Factory Frontier
Sakura Wars: So Long My Love
Trauma Center Second Opinion
Trauma Center New Blood

Luckily none of them has been re-released on the Wii U eshop, I believe.

And here's an updated (mid January 2017) list of the 14 VC titles only available in US eShop for WiiU and not in EU eShop

-Baseball Simulator 1.000 (NES)
-Bases Loaded (NES)
-Car Battler Joe (GBA)
-City Connection (NES)
-Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Gray Wolf (SNES)
-Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town (GBA)
-Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town (GBA)
-Metal Marines (SNES)
-Rival Turf! (SNES)
-Sky Kid (NES)
-Stinger (NES)
-Super E.D.F.: Earth Defense Force (SNES)
-The Ignition Factor (SNES)
-Vs. Excitebike (NES)

(props to "GoneFishin" from nintendolife)

So if you're in Europe you should download at least 30 US vc games
- 16 because PAL version is the inferior 50Hz version (see my first post in this thread)
- 14 because they outright don't exist on PAL eShop

i did not know VC titles worked, but do the wii vc's work too ?
:wtf:

and if they do , how do you start them off? do you install it in USB (just like the usual USB method of installing WiiU main titles?) and once installed you will see it in the vWii ?
