Dusting off the ol' Wii U.. getting ready for April 8th.. the solar eclipse, and Wii U servers going down. Coincidence!? Are they trying to tell us something? :rofl:

Anyway, before it all comes to an end.. I want to move from Haxchi to Aroma, so I can get Pretendo going.

I'm trying to avoid any unnecessary writes to my NAND, so I'm wondering if there is any good reason to update past 5.5.1? AFAICT, all recent updates just add "system stability" aka exploit patches. I already checked the Health & Safety app, since that needs an injection, and it hasn't been updated since 2014.. so I should be good there.

Update: Everything went smoothly, updating to Aroma on 5.5.1.

I'm still a little unclear how I'll handle transferring Mii, Saves, etc. to Pretendo.. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

They didn't patch any of the exploits used for homebrew. But all homebrew and patches are written against 5.5.5. It didn't change muche since 5.5.0, but to avoid trouble and strange tings no one can explain or reproduce, I would just update to 5.5.5

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Get you raspberry pi5, and you can play gamecube, wii, and ps2 games also. Those won't
  • T @ Texasauras:
    did you see them on google? preloaded rom consoles
  • T @ Texasauras:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Those preloaded ones are junk. You can Google raspberry Pi and find where they are sold near you, or on amazon.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, i don't think my parents will get me a pi
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You can get older ones even like the pi 3,4 for cheap, but they don't play gamecube, Wii etc very well. Be warned they use a Linux os, which you need to load onto a micro SD card yourself. You can find pre built images like "retro-pie" online free tho which makes it easy to setup.
