Hi Guys

I am sorry if this has been discussed a thousand times.

But, can Wii games be installed with WUP installer on Wii U.

I managed to install Metroid Trilogy, and it shows on the Wii U menu, but when the game loads, it just freezes?

I have a Wii U running on CFW.

Thanks for your help.

a lot (maybe all?) of those VC titles don't have legit/patched tickets accompanying them. as a result, they're not verified for use by the Wii U, and won't launch. i imagine with Mocha or CBHC, they would work fine, but i got no clue since i haven't tried either of those

Hey

I actually dont know, since its been a while since I hacked my Wii U.

But I know it shows a message before booting up to Wii Menu, and I remember buying a game from Eshop in order to perform the hack.

What seems to have worked for me, is by copying the game to internal memory Metroid Prime Trilogy works, but hangs when I run it from external...

Cheers

What region of console do you have?
RegionHax doesn't go onto the vWii side and some vWii VC games will still not launch

How does one update CBHC?

Cheers
Download latest CBHC Installer from WiiUBrU Appstore (I suggest via PC) or from FIX94 github.
Then run it and let it overwrite your DS VC game again. Also same risks apply.

Guys

I am sorry, I dont know where to uninstall the old one, nor what exactly I need to download from that site ( just been looking).

can it not be updated directly from the Hombrew Store on the Wii u, like the apps?

Maybe I should just leave it as is.

Cheers

if u choose to uninstall first, this can be done with the cbhc installer. it may be best to install the new cbhc from @FIX94 's github. he's the one who creates the cbhc cfw.
