How to install Boot2vWii (as a noob)? Wanting to boot into the Wii Menu in 480p.

[moch123]

Hi guys! As the title suggests, I'm kind of a noob when it comes to modding my Wii U and I'm getting an mClassic in the mail soon, so I'd like to be able to launch into the vWii menu in 480p without having to manually change the resolution every time. I heard that Boot2vWii allows me to do this, but after reading the Github page and some threads on this site I've realized I have no clue where to start. I've seen some "precompiled" versions floating around, but I have no idea how to install them. I appreciate any help y'all can provide!

Iirc, boo2vwii is for aroma, so make sure you install that. using a precompiled version would just entail putting the wuhb in /wiiu/apps on the root of the sd card. I'm on my phone for the rest of the night, so I can't explain compiling it yourself. It's about as easy a compile as possible as it's only like one file in the source code.

Ohh I see! Best case scenario I would love to be able to compile it myself to enter into the vWii menu (in 480p), but the only ones I've found are for specific channels (HBC, USBLoaderGX, etc.) I'll have to keep looking, thanks though!

Look up installing devkitPro. I think updating with pacman -Syu then pacman -S wiiu-dev will get you all you need. Think it uses wut tools, which is part of wiiu-dev. Then, just follow the instructions on github.

I got it to work! (first try somehow LOL) vWii menu booting up in 480p. Here's the .wuhb file if it helps anyone:

Congrats. I might use your wuhb, so that I don't need to make my own.

Could you please compile a 720p version?

hey all, can someone tell me where the edits need to be? i'm guessing it's the dollar sign. thanks.


ifdef TID
CFLAGS += -DTID=$(TID)
endif

ifdef DISPLAY
CFLAGS += -DDISPLAY=$(DISPLAY)

ifdef FORCERES
CFLAGS += -DFORCERES=$(FORCERES)

edit, my mistake, the options must actually be typed after the word make, in the command line, as outlined by the github
