solved the issue, using connectify on the laptop. Just like crayon2000 said its laggy. Tried it on a steam game, it lags. Tried it on sonic 3 complete and it only runs ok if I keep the window small.
My LAN adapters died and I don't have the cash for a new one right now so hotspot is my only option...which is also giving me issues. I used a android device, grabbed a hotspot app for it but the wii u wouldn't connect to it.
Ouch. Square one again.
How about this: I have a broken tablet (touchscreen dead but I can still turn them on and connect to my pc to access files). Would the wii u accept that as a storage device?
I need to make room for updates but I don't want to delete and re-download games. If I move my games to my flash drive is there a way I can see the files, move on to pc, delete the games from the flash drive then later add the files back to flash drive to move back to my wii u?
