Hi,
I just got a wii u from ebay. I hwant to mod my vwii in it and have some questions. I have a normal wii and have hacked that to olay wii backups via usbloader GX and it has been perfect. I want to mirror that on my vwii as best as I can?
1: Im not sure what version firware will come with it. if it is below 5.5.1, can I update to that specific version, or will it automatically update to teh latest and greatest?
1a: If it is at 5.5.2, and I still hack the vwii only for usbloader gx and nintendont?
2: Once the hacking done (Im going to follow the guide in this thread), will I also be able to install wiiware/vc wad files with YAWM. I want to move them to my SD card jsut like my normal wii if possible? Will I still be able to jsut isntall the WAD and play? Are the wiiware/vc wads I used on my regular wii safe to use on my vwii?
3: I have a 4 TB HDD that has 2 partitions, 1 is all my wii games formatted as WBFS through WBFS manager. Can I jsut format teh other partition as Fat32 32k and store my GC ISO's on that? How will I know what partition is which? Every Time I hook up that HDD to my PC it wants me to format it obviously because it cant read WBFS. Is there a way around that so I can have both GC and WII games on the same HDD while using USBloader GX
4: Once all this is taken care of will I have to worry about system updates breaking my homebrew on vwii? I want to keep the internet alive on the wii u because there are some eshop games I want to buy. How might I get around that. Will and updates from a game disk, like Zelda:BOW break homebrew by updateing my system?
Thanks for the help
