Homebrew Wii u wad on wii?

[Duncan Idaho]

I recently saw that apparently DK64 was available on the shop of the wiiu (via YT) I was wondering if there was any way to install in theory the DK64 game on a wii, or would that cause the wii to brick?

There's no difference between a Vwii application and a Wii application

(this reasoning does not apply to (C)IOS, Wii Menu, MIOS, and mode-changing titles: basically everything with a TitleID-high of 00010000)

Hmm, so if I somehow got hold of the wad I could install it? I am just curious since DK64 is a game I've never played and I have heard good things about it.

Yes (though I don't think Vwii got more VC games than a real Wii)

Aha, read carefully the description:

"This classic game is part of the Virtual Console service, which brings you great games created for consoles such as NES™, Super NES™ and Game Boy™ Advance. We hope you'll enjoy the new features (including off-TV play) that have been added to this title."

That's a WiiU mode emulator, not a Vwii mode emulator!

You may be able to play DK64 in other ways (injections, not64, ...) but not as you planned to

The Wii does not have enough memory for DK64.
