Is it possible to create a basic USB Loader GX forwarder that keeps the Wii U clock speeds?

If it is possible;
- Would this mean that any Wii or GameCube game loaded via USB Loader GX thereafter keeps the Wii U clock speeds? Or would it be reset when a game is loaded?
- Would this forwarder need to be installed to Wii U NAND and not loaded up as a .wuhb file?

My ideal scenario is to have two forwarders for USB Loader GX on the Wii U side - one standard forwarder (easy; already done) and one that retains Wii U clocks. I just don't know if this is doable.

Cheers.

Is there any game cannot reach 100% speed with a simple GX forwarder? I mean what is your goal for doing this?
Besides yeah currently the "official" GX forwarder can only be installed on USB

Yes. Some GameCube games can benefit further by running at Wii U speeds, and yes, I'm aware Nintendont already runs them at Wii speeds with improved performance.

Simplicity of being able to run Wii and GameCube games via an unthrottled USB Loader GX without individually patching, packaging and installing them. Understanding that some games might not play nicely with the full Wii U speeds, hence the 2 forwarders side-by-side.

Why does it need to be "official?" I'm currently running a GX forwarder WUHB file and that's just on the SD card.

I am no programmer myself, but I believe to achieve this (nintendont with Wii U clock speed) you need to reprogramm the code. And correct me if I am wrong, but there might be compatibility issues, because WIi is designed to be compatible with GC games, while Wii U is not. A simple point is that overspeed.

    @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.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    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

    but that's a long shot

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

    @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
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
