    Hardware Are these adapters/controllers any good?

    Yeah, getting an SNES style controller to be able to play both NES and SNES games is probably the best idea for me. The wireless 8bitdo ones have their own USB controller which I could plug into the Wii U's front ports (I'm using the back one for my HDD) but I'm not sure they will actually work...

    Hardware Are these adapters/controllers any good?

    Thanks for your advice Zense. I don't know a lot about this but I had read that the 8bitdo controllers are good. Wireless can be a bit more convenient but I think if the wired controllers are more versatile (e.g. they definitely work as Wii classic controllers and for VC titles) then I'd...

    Hardware Are these adapters/controllers any good?

    I was thinking of getting some adapters and controllers for my Wii U so I can play retro games but wanted to make sure I don't buy the wrong stuff. Is this a good NES/SNES adapter? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00B2K0C8M/ Are these wireless controllers any good or would I need to get...

    Hacking The different WiiU game's formats, and how to convert them

    How do I transfer decrypted files to a Wii U formatted USB HDD? I thought I might be able to use the FTP app to transfer them directly from my PC but that only seems to provide access to the SD card.

    Hacking [RELEASE] WiiVC Injector Script (GC/Wii/Homebrew Support)

    I have no idea why but I was able to install the games to my USB HDD using WUP Installer GX2 when I tried again yesterday. I tried renaming one folder to remove the game name I'd added to the start but that wasn't the problem, as I left another folder with the added name and they both installed...

    Hacking [RELEASE] WiiVC Injector Script (GC/Wii/Homebrew Support)

    OK well I didn't do that. I only used letters, numbers and spaces.

    Hacking [RELEASE] WiiVC Injector Script (GC/Wii/Homebrew Support)

    Well WUP Installer GX2 didn't work. It gave an error saying to check that all the WUP files were present. I did rename the folders to add the game name at the start so that I knew which was which but that wouldn't stop it installing would it? So how do I install them?

    Hardware wiiu external hdd compatibility

    Thanks. I just bought a 2TB external PSU HDD as that should be more than enough for the Wii U stuff and I'll buy another USB powered HDD to use for backups, etc. as it's more convenient to be able to move it between machines without needing a PSU.

    Hacking [RELEASE] WiiVC Injector Script (GC/Wii/Homebrew Support)

    After I've run my games through this tool and created folders on my PC like WUP-N-RB4E_...... how do I then get them installed on my USB HDD? Do I just need to put these folders in the root of my SD card and then use wupinstaller to install them to USB?

    Hardware wiiu external hdd compatibility

    Hi, At the moment I've just got a couple of Wii U games installed on the internal 32GB and a 64GB USB flash drive with a few Wii games on. I haven't been able to play the latter yet as I haven't got the right controllers yet but they all loaded OK when I tested them. Even so, you may be right...

    Hardware wiiu external hdd compatibility

    If I bought a 4TB HDD, would I be able to use 2TB for Wii U games and format the remaining 2TB as an NTFS partition and use it to backup my movie/music files? It's just that 4TB drives tend to work out more cost effective than 2TB ones, so if I can use the extra space for something that would be...

    Hacking System version and update

    OK, thanks. Yeah I'm using CBHC. I was worried 'cos it says System Update but if it's just a game update that's OK.

    Hacking System version and update

    I've successfully hacked my Wii U which was on v5.5.2 E. Now the version shows as 99.99.99 E. Is this normal and just a side-effect result of the hack? It's also notifying me that there's a system update. I thought 5.5.2 was the latest, so is it just seeing the v99.99.99 and thinking that's...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Ah OK, I thought the cIOS d2x installer could override the information in the WAD and allow me to chose the slot (and base, wish I knew what that means but it's probably not important at the moment!) So I can only use the zips with the ciosmaps.xml and .app files with cIOS d2x installer?
