do you have the correct folder structure?

did you embed armboot into nswitch?

did you try the github link or the svn one?

folder structue:
has to be on the root of the sd card (not in a "nands" folder or similar)

armboot/nswitch:
as far as i remember you have to use raw2c to get .c and .h files which you can use for nswitch

but I wrote something about this whole neek/vwiii thingy some time ago, which I try to find as it contains additional info (I did also struggle first to get neek working on vwii)

edit:
this is the thread, maybe you can find additional info:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/build-sneek-for-vwii-linux-helper-script.580819/

edit2:
regarding nswitch:

-> apps/SNEEK/
  • boot.dol (build from nswitch with armboot from mini-tree-mod [raw2c armboot.bin provides armboot.c and armboot.h])

ensure you're using python2 not 3

(it seems I had also issues, from the script:
sed -i '/#!\/usr\/bin\/env python2/d' mini-tree-mod/makebin.py
# force python2, python3 is usally default nowadays (TODO: switch to python3)
sed -i 's@python@python2@' mini-tree-mod/Makefile
)

just some notes:

- if you want/need to change region of sneek emunand you can use SettingsEdit (windows) on pc
- You can install more wads, but then you have to use sort48+, which has a issue on vwii as it wont show/recognize wiiu menu channel as system channel (at least the version I tested behaved like this, not sure if there is one which fixes this)
- Dont forget that you can also use "regular" cios emunand which works for a lot of games, so maybe just install the one which wont work there in sneek emunand

Hi, I'm trying to get Sneek running on my vWii but even though I've managed to compile using this and the Linux guide, I can't get passed the black screen. What am I doing wrong? I'm not using DI since I'm only interested in running WiiWare games, I've got the vWii NAND dump in the root of the SDCARD and I've replaced the boot.dol from nswitch, but still nothing.
Any hints appreciated, alternatively a link to a precompiled kernel.bin for sneek only. Cheers

@SaulFabre , try as I might, I cannot get regular neek, uneek+di in this case, to work with ustealth. I tried using your libfat.a files, two of them, and no dice. there's no activity with the activity light, almost as if it can't find the nand. I don't have this problem without ustealth.

Code:
svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/sneek/code/trunk sneek-read-only
It gives me an CMD error:
C:\projects\wii>svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/sneek/code/trunk sneek-read-only

You need to have it add cmd path when installing tortoise svn.

Setting Up SNEEK
Extract SD.zip to (you guessed it) the root of your SD card. Copy kernel_sd.bin to SD:\SNEEK and rename it kernel.bin. Run the SNEEK app from the HBC and after a few seconds, you'll reboot into an emulated NAND. Congratulations!

My Wii U freezes when I entered in SNEEK. I did what the part tells me to do.

if you're using ustealth, that's why. I tried modifying it to use ustealth, but it didn't work. problem is that it's simply too old. neek2o does work with ustealth, but that's from like 2018 or so while normal neek is from 2015.
