i bought a second hand wii u that has been soft modded to play games from a sd card but i found out you cant play these games online so i bought call of duty from cex but at first the disc would not even insert into the drive it , was almost as though there wasnt enough strength to drag the disc in! but , eventually after a bit of pressure it went in but says invalid disc.

do i need a new drive?
is it simple to change?
should i get my money back? it was £100 and the guy said i could have money back . he also said he had never even played a disc on it as he had all games downloaded.
im worried if i return it i wont be able to mod another wii myself ......
cheers for reading

It's less of molding and more of literally entering a URL. Anyway there's some slightly more advanced things and you can install these games to your home menu with online Play! ^_^

If you have a ton of storage (sd card or usb) why not keep it! I know by browsing the Temp in the Wii.U section you can find some important links! I'll edit the post if I find some.

This is definitely something to look at: http://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-u-usb-loading-install-wiiu-games-to-usb-or-internal-memory.445514/ ! It'll pretty much give ya the method and info. I recommend waiting for a bit though because it's still buggy and in development.

    I honestly can't recommend any of the big 3 this years I'd say buy a rog ally z1 if we're being honest
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Honestly after the PS3 and 360 I just went full PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah even bt support for Xbox one controllers are just as easy as pairing
     +1
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    considering the steamdeck can emulate the switch (yikes) theres almost 0 reason to buy the switch apart from playing online and using cartridges
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I remember having to manually put in drivers and what not
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah the 360 dongles sucked
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But the new Xbox pads? PIr it up and if a game supports it it just works
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most emulators even automatically detect them now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's a good time to be alive lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Pi4 and Batocera works with them perfectly too
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd like to see future tap to pair options like you hold it over a scanner and it just automatically pairs
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No need for additional cords buttons or anything
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hmmm yeah that is possible BT has an address like an IP
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Scan a QR code on your phone open a page with the controller and a QR code for the device, hit go and done
