Yea not to be mean but if you mess it up you will ruin your Wii U forever

If you want try to find Wii U games that are already decrypted, they come in a zip
file with 3 folders: "Content" "Code" "Meta" because decrypting the games yourself
requires some technical tricks like using Python and cmd prompt

Once you got the games saved, you need a Wii U on 5.3 there is no hack for 5.4-5.5 yet
but there's one coming soon.

If you have the Wii U all you need next is a microSD, set up your Wii U's internet setting so
it won't auto update and then use the Browser exploit to install "Lodiine" this will allow you
to run games from the Micro SD.

Here's some videos to help you out:


Good luck, It's not difficult but you can ruin your Wii U if you don't know what you're doing,
do some research the info is out there, if you ask dumb questions like "what's a backup?"
nowone will help you lol

Just read this:

As of December 2015, There are two seperate "IOSU" Based exploits currently in development. if successful, these will break the Wii U Wide open and allow Homebrew and Backup Launching capabilities similar to the Wii.

Which is awesome!

But does it mean that the Wii U will be able to play Wii and GameCube games as well? Will game formats (GCreEx) work?

I know it can play Wii games for sure but I don't think It can play GC games, but even if it can't
the best GC games are getting remake anyways, I wish they made a Metroid Prime HD tough

Metroid Prime is my favorite of all time, but with the MP:Trilogy, they probably won't.

but I heard they're remaking Skyward Sword or atleast just upscaling it to HD, and the Wii U desperatedly needs a Super Metroid,
one of the big reasons it failed was no Metroid and no Zelda

I thought you where cat not rat...
You do realize that if in a worst case scenario, big game companies (or whatever) can prove that illegal (copyrighted, etc) things are going on here they can close this forum?

That is why there are rules, those rules are not for bugging people, but to keep the forum civil and to be a source of information for all that have a interest in games and everything that come with it. Well at least the owners/admins/moderators try.. :hrth:

So think of that first before you post something ... always think of the concequences.

The whole point of the community is to exchange information and help each other out. I don't want this website to get taken down that's why there are PMs but when people side with The Man or start being elitists instead of helping their fellow Fresh water noobs then they're no different from the copyright dogs and greedy companies

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
