I have PAL Wii U and I decided I want to the Vwii.
1. Do I must own a Wii game? (SSBB or Lego star wars...)
2. Can I use WB passport External hard drive with wiiflow with Fat32 format and keep PC files on it?
3. What power Cable do I need to buy for WD passport External hard drive USB 3.0? (I read that I need to buy some power splitted cable with two usb's)
4. What is the cheapest SSD that I can buy? ( I have 4gb and 16gn SSD's but not 2gb).
5. Is there any gamecube emulator for Vwii? if there is, can I play with Wii u pro controller?

Thank you.

1. Yes, you must own one of these games (pal version since you have a pal wii u): http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/WiiMode (second column for game names)
2 & 3. Yes, you can but most likely you will need a Y-cable to power for your disk. You will need a cable like this: http://www.amazon.com/Oyen-Digital-Y-Cable-Micro-B-Standard/dp/B0052OJ97O/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Not sure if the brand is the best you can find. But this is the type of pins you need for your WD passport.
3. Sorry, but I don't have time to answer that. Depending on where you live, search in Amazon, Ebay, Google shopping or other online shop aggregators you might have in your country to find something that suits your needs and budget.
4. Yes there is, it's called Nintendont: https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/ It's not an emulator but rather an interpreter but that's just a technical difference. Yes, you can use a wii u pro controller as long as it is original. My third party pro controller doesn't work for example.

Thank you, but can I use fat32 format?
or any 1gb sd card? (no sdhc)

You HAVE to use fat32, and any non-SDHC card will do for the install (so less than or equal to 2GB)

In wiiflow or USB loadergx, Can I use Fat32 format external hard drive? (so I won't have to delete everything...)
and 512mb sd will be ok? (I found one in my house) because I read somewhere that I must use 1-2gb SD card.
Thank you.

Yes to the first, and... well, I honestly don't know for certain to the second. As far as I'm aware it should be fine

You can, but there's no real reason to. I would actually advise against it, since FAT32 is worlds more stable than NTFS (NTFS likes to fragment a lot)

How do I install wiiflow on channel and on 16:9? (it's only let me do it through homebrow channel and on 3:4).
And if my HDD is already on NTFC, and I have a lot of files in there, Does it really matter?

It doesn't really matter for now, but you will probably be happier with FAT32. Regardless, WiiFlow works with NTFS, so your fine

Unless you're really set on using a channel, launch the app I'm attatching from the homebrew channel every time you launch it to fix the aspect ratio. If you want to use a forwarder channel still, I'll hunt the correct one down for you

  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?
    :rofl2:
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Pretty sure anyone buying the switch just for that got duped
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The switch was about 350 in 2017
  • Metoroid0 @ Metoroid0:
    mabe where you live

    Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took the stage at the outset to reveal that Switch will launch globally on March 3, 2017 for $299.99—earlier than some had expected at the price many suspected. https://time.com/4632820/nintendo-switch-nx/
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The NES launched at like 250 and the rob and light gun kit was like 350 or something
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I was near the test market for the NES and man did it make my 2600 look like ass lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    There has to be some mutual agreement with them all anything over $600 is just pc territory

    next system rumored to launch at $400

    but I don't really believe any rumors yet

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The 3DO and Neo Geo where like 700 bucks hmm the PS3 was stupid expensive at launch lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But at least the PS3 was only 500 for the cheapest one at launch
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My opinion is that 199.99 is the sweet spot but that spot is long gone lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just played some Micheal Jackson Moonwalker.... Those poor parents trying desperately to protect their children
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    400 is a decent sweet spot if we get enough out of it
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's not like how it was when we were locked down to a few options and that's it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For me just buying a Pi and some accessories fills that not a PC void new consoles have just put them close to PC prices and all the patching and updates makes me feel like I might as well just get a PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Were talking new Gen consoles at launch here
