Most of the hacked wii u menus i see have icons that show the consoles and their names. (see attached picture)
I'd like to get these icons on my Wii U, however, i can't find anything about it, and what these icons are supposed to be.
Are these emulators? The 3DS, N64 PSP, PS1 and NDS ones look very promising.
Where do i find these icons?

They could be some forwarders to the homebrew emulators. You can change the icons of the forwarders via FTPiiU.

The 3DS is probably just for clickbait purpose, since there is no emulation for that on wii u.

I don’t know however if you could change the folder symbols in the wii u menu.

They are @MikaDubbz own creations and the 3ds one is for NTRview I believe, streaming your 3ds to wii u gamepad.
Correct your are sir.

They're all emulators (mostly on the vWii side, though a few are native Wii U emulators) being forwarded to with exception to the 3DS, DS, Wii and GameCube channels. 3DS is indeed NTRview, DS is Loadiine that I only filled with DS games and injects to give the illusion of a DS emulator, Wii is USBloader GX, and GameCube is Nintendont. NES is FCEUGX, SNES is SNES9XGX, GBA/GBC/GB is VBAGX, N64 is Wii 64 Rice, PS1 is WiiSXRX, PSP is PPSSPP, Genesis (and other retro Sega systems) is GenPlusGx, Neo Geo is GXgeo that I got someone to add Wii U pro controller support for me, the bottom right icon with many systems stylized as Arcade+ is Retroarch. And, sure I could consolidate some emulators into retroarch, but honestly, to this day I prefer the UI and user friendliness of those old GX vWii emulators even though Retroarch can take full advantage of the Wii U's power.
