The first thing to do is download the file from GitHub: https://github.com/Clownacy/Sonic-Mania-Decompilation/releases/tag/v0.2
you have to download your version of Mania, normal or Plus

when you have the file you will need the "Data.rsdk" file from your copy of Sonic Mania for PC, I recommend that you have SonicMania.rpx or SonicManiaplus.rpx and Data.rsdk in the same folder for the following steps

Now I will use FTPiiU and FileZilla to put the files in the SD, but you can do the same process with your SD connected to your PC

now in the "wiiu/ apps" directory copy the .rpx file or if you like to create a folder called Sonic Mania and copy it there

now in the root of the SD you create a folder called "RSDK", inside the "RSDK" folder you create a called "v5" and inside "v5" copies Data.rsdk, in the end it will look like this: [sd card]/RSDK /v5/Data.rsdk

and congratulations you will have Sonic Mania/Sonic Mania plus on Wii U, when you open it you will have to wait for it to load (a black screen) but after a while the Sonic Mania logo will appear, if it stays on the black screen try to press start

You need an icon for the hbl folder, they are everywhere, a few in the other thread... And the game takes about 40 seconds to boot.

Other than that your folder structure or your RSDK is wrong?

Thanks for the answer, I will try it when I returned to home, I double check the path of the folders for both files, well it seems that I need to check other 2 times, hope this help

Just tried out this. Works great!
I noticed that it have the same issue as the Vita version. The bonus stage where you are chasing that running thing runs slower.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
