Thank you for your answer Katoche.
I have buy today a new sd with 90Mb/s...and it's the same..the sd is new so no need to defragmenter.

It's sometimes..during a level,or end of level..and after if i change the level it's ok...it's strange.
With Hyrule warrior or an other,I don't have this problem.

Today I play the level 1-4 no problem,and after I play the level 2-2 and..after 2 minutes I have an important slowdown..
I finish the level...and the level 2-3 it's ok ..and after no problem...

So it's sometimes but I don't understand why ^^

@dragoncity your backup copy placed once time, or you make several copy / paste the same time? if the second solution : defragments your SD (Auslogics Disk Defrag is good soft -> http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/ )

There is no reason to defrag solid state memory. It will just shorten the lifespan.

Is the new layout confusing? Should I remove the headers and just have that text as the spoiler tags? @Onion_Knight, tagging you for feedback since this was your idea
Ex:

PURCHASING A WII U

Spoiler: Which Wii U bundle has 5.3.2 or lower on it?

Nintendo has started shipping updated bundles! It appears to only be the bundles with the game(s) preinstalled. I highly recommend purchasing a bundle with the physical discs for a bettrr chance of having a lower FW. I'm not responsible for your purchasing of a Wii U that does not have a released exploit.

2.1.0:

Spoiler: Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land Deluxe Set

Spoiler: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Set

3.1.0:

Spoiler: New Super Mario Bros U and New Super Luigi U Deluxe Set

Spoiler: The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD Deluxe Set

5.1.2:

Spoiler: Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land Deluxe Set (Preinstalled)

Note: Console purchased from Walmart in Illinois on 10/17/15 was on 5.3.2.​

5.3.2:

Spoiler: Splatoon and Nintendo Land Deluxe Set

Spoiler: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Preinstalled) + DLC

Note: Console purchased from Best Buy in Canada on 10/17/15 was on 5.4.0.
Note: Console purchased from Argos in Dublin, Ireland on 10/22/15 was on 5.4.0.
​

FAQ:

What about refurbished consoles?

Nintendo automatically updates the console to the latest FW when refurbishing. You'd have to be extremely lucky and basically receive a console that was refurbished before 5.4.0 even came out and has been sitting around. Don't count on it.

GETTING TO (AND STAYING ON) AN EXPLOITABLE FIRMWARE

Spoiler: Should I Update My Wii U?

If your Wii U is still on firmware version < 5.2.0 and you want 'easy' IOSU hax in the future: don't update

Nonetheless, it's a IOSU userland flaw only at the moment. It should be more relevant if it's possible to attack the kernel with it.

The flaw itself was patched after 5.2.0, so, the general rule applies, if you're on a low firmware already, don't update. If you have already updated then don't worry about it.
You're not missing out anything if you updated your console, this is just a warning for those who still are on a low firmware version. By not updating you will have access to more attack vectors in the future.
The plan is still to provide a full exploit that works up to the latest firmware (that means IOSU userland and kernel access up to 5.5.0).

Advantages of updating to 4.1.0 or 5.0.0:

• Have the most reliable Kernel Exploit
• IOSU Exploit may be released on these first
• Can use TCP Gecko and Cafiine
• IOSU Exploit soon™

Advantages of updating to 5.3.2:

• Can use all available hacks

Advantages of staying on 5.4.0 if you are there:

• A Kernel Exploit is coming soon™

Spoiler: Which games have 5.3.2 on them?

Note: While it is unlikely, Nintendo could have printed new discs with a FW greater than 5.3.2 on them. I'm not responsible for your upgrading a Wii U with a disc above 5.3.2.

USA:

Splatoon
Mario Party 10
Yoshi's Wooly World: Check the back of the game box above the barcode. 101997A has 5.3.2, while 1011216A has 5.4.0 (needs confirmation)​

EUR:

Splatoon
Mario Party 10
LEGO Jurassic Park
Yoshi's Wooly World​

Do you need a wii u with EXACTLY 5.3.2? Can you use something with like 5.2?

Do you need a wii u with EXACTLY 5.3.2? Can you use something with like 5.2?

Most of the hacks that are currently released only work for 5.3.2. You can do what I did and find a copy of Mario Party 10 / Splatoon and update to 5.3.2.



I've also got a couple of quick questions. I recently upgraded my Wii U's firmware to 5.3.2, spoofed to 5.5, and used WUP Installer to install game updates for Mario Maker.
1) I get a "the disc could not be read" error when I try to load the Mario Maker manual. The rest of the game works perfectly. Has this happened to anyone else? I tried Googling it and couldn't find anything, but I assume it has to do with the 5.5 spoof somehow.
2) I also bought a 64GB UHS-1 SD card for potential backup loading, but Windows won't let me format it as FAT32, saying that it's too large, and so the Wii U doesn't recognize it. I know people have used up to 128GB cards before-- do I just have to partition it?

Could you add a version that doesn't autoboot smash? While that is nice, sometimes I use pygecko which has to be launched after a game is selected in Loadiine.

You can press X instead of A on the game to install it but not autoboot into Smash.

Good to know, thanks!

I think the 1st post is a lot easier to navigate now! You can quickly skim it to the section that is relevant!

 

[DGenerateKane]

I've launched loadiing over a dozen times now and it has yet to boot into smash automatically. What's the secret?

You're using the A button? It is noted in the README that it doesn't work for everyone, for some mysterious reason. Dimok said that it works 100% of the time for him but never for golden45. Looks like you might be on that side of the magic line.

 

[DGenerateKane]

Yes, A. Of course, Now the last three times I've tried loading loadiine it has frozen on the screen telling me to press A to load it, so now it won't even load at all. Ugh.
