I bought my wii U last year after the wii eshop closed, so I could't download any WiiWare. The only thing I could do was add WADs, which I did today. I wanted to add the internet channel. I downloaded it and imported it to my sd card. I went to the WAD manager and picked the WAD I wanted. Then I closed the homebrew channel and the internet channel was there. I opened it and then... Nothing. A black screen. I couldn't close my Wii U from the power off button so I suppose it crashed. I tried this many..MANY times, system still crashing. Same thing happened when I made a USB loader WAD so I don't need to open the homebrew launcher and also because I wanted to try making a WAD Wii channel.

Anyone got any help?

If the Internet Channel is not working, it probably means that either the Wad is from the wrong region or that there is something you did wrong when softmodding the vWii. As for the USB Forwarder, you have to make sure that you are specifically making it for the vWii. Wads intended for the Wii, don't work on the vWii unless they are official Nintendo wads (WiiWare, Virtual Console, and channels such as the Internet Channel)

    The PS2 was quite a good console for its time. Imagine how many people in Spain are still using one LOL.

    @K3Nv2, Exactly. Take note of the Switch, for example. Its underpowered compared to how older tech was capable of doing just about anything.

    @K3Nv2, Not gonna lie, about half of its game library was shovelware like its counterpart, the Wii.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, and the other half were just 1st party games

    @Xdqwerty, The Wii U was essentially an early Switch, before the Switch was a thing.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They already had the technology but the price to performance wasn't there

    Older systems I love some of the games but without filters and enhanced graphics they are difficult to enjoy

    Especially the PS1....

    That thing needs all the bandaids lol

    I think my favorite PS1 enhancement is sub pixel precision, helps get rid of some of those wobbly polygons lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, By default, the polygons are filtered with differing to simulate depth, which doesn't make them clearer.

    Which GPU was hot in the ps1 era psi besides all of them

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There are ways to disable this by creating cheat codes, but this requires knowledge of the PS1 hardware.
