since this thread for Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

can I ask if I softmod/hack my vWii in ver.5.4
can I update later to 5.5/5.X without any problem ?

thanks

Yes, and yes. vWii is completely separate from the Wii U side.

Thanks you

another question, in the tutorial to how to softmod my vWii it's required a 2gb SD card ( not HC card )
can I use a bigger HC card after I setup my HBC and wads

Just because they didn't release it doesn't mean it wasn't found and patched by Nintendo in a FW update since then.

or vice versa

 

[oPolo]

ah , didnt think on software revisions , good point , but as they didnt release their work i guess it wouldnt have been patched. Did they actually acheive anything more than whats due ?

So question; which homebrew apps are you most looking forward to on the Wii U once it gets hacked

A wumad installer.

A wumad installer.

What would that do?

 

[piratesephiroth]

What would that do?

wumads are the Wii U equivalent to the 3DS's CIA files.

 

[ShadowOne333]

wumads are the Wii U equivalent to the 3DS's CIA files.

And the equivalent to Wii's WAD files.

wumads are the Wii U equivalent to the 3DS's CIA files.

I can't wait for:

A better N64 Emulator
better GBA Emulator
A better method of blocking updates
Gamecube Emulator
Wii U downlodable and Wii U Backups (Of course)
Unique Wii U gamepad homebrew apps

I say N64 and DS emus are a must!
GBA emulator we already have mGBA for Wii, which is as best as you can get actually, a port of it for the Wii U would be the only thing required.

you cannot ever emulate a GC on wiiu, GC is way to powerfull, you can maybe make it semi native like nintendont does on vwii but it it works seminative on wiiu is unsure since gx does not exist and gx2 is there and whats changed no one knows for sure yet.

Actually, the Wii U does have the old GX hardware: it's needed for vWii mode, and provides 3 MiB of MEM0 RAM for the Cafe OS and IOSU kernels in Wii U mode.

is it possible to use the GX in Wii U mode? (with cafe os and everything), or we have to switch to a "semi vWii mode" where we get the new hardware of Wii U but no CafeOS/IOSU.

so we can straight up use gx code in wiiu mode? if so porting all wii homebrew should be much simpler since no one needs to port any gx stuff lol.
