    Need help with Priiloader hacks, WC24/Wii-link , and vWii UTC Patch Generator.

    Yes, Priiloader has no way to know what time you're supposed to have, nor does the actual Wii for that matter. So when appropriate, you enable the correct hack and disable the other one. Not a big hassle considering you only have to do this tweak twice a year, assuming you frequently use the...

    Need help with Priiloader hacks, WC24/Wii-link , and vWii UTC Patch Generator.

    1. There's no point in using the "always enable" hack when you can have the system settings enabled, enable WiiConnect24 from there, and then the setting will be persistent. Making the other hack redundant. Only way for that to get overwritten is if you use a Wii VC game (either an Inject or an...

    Transfer vWii save file into VC inject of same game?

    The saves for Wii games are always on the vWii NAND regardless of how you are playing the game (disc, wbfs file on a USB Loader, VC Inject). So you don't need to do anything. The save is already on the NAND ready to be used.

    Tutorial A Comprehensive Look at the Wii U's File Formats and How to Convert Between Them

    Hey, I think you'll be happy to know that I found a way to get an installable WUP from a decrypted WUP. Though this has a few caveats and still doesn't mean we can recover the original encrypted WUP from a decrypted one, the new section goes more into detail about that but I hope you still find...

    Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

    Yes, you're missing the fact that Aroma has no Homebrew Menu/Launcher, Homebrew apps just show up on the Wii U Menu. You also don't need a GamePad to just open the Wii U Menu.

    Tutorial Project How to set up ISFShax + Stroopwafel

    Just a heads up about the guide proper, the Manual Download section is broken: I assume this was supposed to a nice table, but you get this mess instead

    Hacking Homebrew IOS56-64-v5918.wad file

    Just use the vWii Decaffeinator and in the advanced options, only toggle IOS56. That will delete the file, which will then make sure a system update is available to redownload a clean IOS from Nintendo's servers. If you need a guide for the Decaffeinator, check here...

    Question about Wii & Wii U disk drive interchangeability for gamecube gae-mes

    No, because the Wii U's disc drive is console specific and there's checks to make sure the disc drive is present or not. ISFShax can allow you to bypass those checks to use the console without a disc drive, but that makes the vWii mode unusable (which is where Nintendont runs). So no, no way to...

    Homebrew ROM Hack Installing CTGP-R while ISFSHax installed

    That guide is horribly outdated and shouldn't be used. All you need is to boot the CTGP app from the Homebrew Channel in the vWii, exact same process as on a real Wii.

    Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

    Hence why I said it was included in case the user didn't have it already, it's a good idea to cover all bases if possible. The changes haven't been upstreamed by the way, maybe making a pull request might help?

    Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

    I'm sure you don't need the payload.elf included in the ISFShax files at all, since there's nothing unique about it compared to the one included with Aroma. I installed it just using the Aroma file just fine. It's just included in the ISFShax guide in case you don't have the file already so you...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    That means an issue with the game file itself, in my experience modifying it via Wiimm's ISO Tools caused that issue no matter what. Only way I was able to get a wbfs file with working masterpieces was to use TinyWiiBackupManager to convert a clean iso to wbfs and then strip the update...

    Tutorial A Comprehensive Look at the Wii U's File Formats and How to Convert Between Them

    You could extract the files using ZArchive, but at best you'd be restoring the decrypted contents of game/update/DLC. That's why it's irreversible, you can't restore a WUD/WUX/Encrypted WUP (what you need for installing to a Wii U) from a WUA. Those decrypted contents you can restore would only...

    Misc Copy game update with Dumpling and convert it to Installer GX2 format

    That won't work since what is being asked is a way to change a decrypted WUP to an encrypted WUP. I wasn't able to find a way to make that possible. In theory you could try NUSPacker with the decrypted contents though, but I don't know how reliable that would be. Then again since the OP is...

    Tutorial A Comprehensive Look at the Wii U's File Formats and How to Convert Between Them

    Introduction In this thread I wanted to provide a single easy to follow resource for explaining and understanding the different file formats for Wii U software and the uses cases they can have, either on original hardware or on the CEMU emulator. This is also the result of a few months of...
