So I have a freshly CBHC hacked WiiU and a blank 400GB SD and a black 1.5TB USB hardrive...

I have my wee games all downloaded as wbfs and GC games as iso's and i've read that the best way to install these onto my wiiu is with UWUVCI is that correct ?

thanks

For wii and gc games use a injector. They appear then on your home menu.
If you have a 400 GB SD Card, don't bother installing GCN games on your Wii U, just use a GamePad compatible Nintendont forwarder. And maybe NKit to trim your disc images. 400 GB can go a lot further that way.

Use the injector for Wii games, and WUPs for Wii U.

guys i'm a total newbie although tech savy in lots of other ways so I don't know anything about wiiu's ...can you just explain in a little more info as I dont know what an injector is and if you say injector can you name it....why can't I just use UWUVCI is that not a good method ? I want to just pick one method and go with that as when everyone starts listibg 15 million different ways it just gets confusing

Nkit trimmed games are only playable with dolphin ;)
Wii discs that is - Gamecube NKit-ISO is fully compatible with real hardware (and nintendont) :)

It definitely is (and the one I recommend), just be aware it's not the only one :)

ok i've now read USB helper is just as good as UWUVCI ..are there any advantages of either ? I'm shying away from UWUVCI as I apparently the only way to get a baserom is to buy a legit game from nintendo and that will cost £18 and USB helper should be free...is that true ?

as mentioned I have my wee games all downloaded as wbfs and GC games as iso's so will these work just fine with USB helper ?

Not really - you need the titlekey for a specific game (which you can't even legitimately buy without an American NNID) - how and where you find it is not Teconmoon's problem :)

Yes, you can use WBFS and (Gamecube NKit ISO) in that converter

I think you misunderstand something here. USB helper and uwuvci are not the same. Means, there are no advantages or disadvantages. Uwuvci is a vc injector. See here. And the usb helper is a cdn downloader. Means, it downloads games directly from nintendos cdn (Content Delivery Network).

This is NKit. It's not the most user-friendly thing, but it's the BEST tool for shrinking your Gamecube isos.

If you want to keep it simple, I uploaded my config for it. If you use this config and drag any Gamecube image to ConvertToNkit.exe (after downloading NKit and then putting my config in there after) it will trim them and save space. I've used it on everything and it hasn't let me down yet.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice

    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
