    after update homebrew to admora from mocha,the wiiu doesn't detect the usb thumb drive

    Did you install the Aroma-compatible version of WUP Installer? You need the new .wuhb release. Your drive should be fine, you just need to use an Aroma-compatible version of the program, since Aroma hides non-proprietary drives from the Wii U by default. You can find a .wuhb version on Aroma's...

    Smash 4 Masterpieces how do I rip the files like the roms?

    The Internet is a pretty good resource. HxD is well-documented. A quick search will hopefully answer the rest of your questions.

    Smash 4 Masterpieces how do I rip the files like the roms?

    I'll try to make this explanation as simplified as possible, but I'm ultimately just reexplaining what the GitHub tutorial says in simpler terms. Since you specifically want Earthbound, I'll specifically go over the steps for that one. I agree that the audio problems would be nice to fix, but a...

    Hacking Homebrew Black screen when turning on the console with the SD card inserted

    Any visible numbers on the black screen? The Wii U Hacks Guide has some common errors listed if so. Just tread carefully, if you can. Haxchi, and especially Coldboot, are very particular pieces of legacy software. Make sure your SD Card is formatted correctly for the Wii U (FAT32 + MBR); that...

    Smash 4 Masterpieces how do I rip the files like the roms?

    It's not as easy as just forking the application. The GitHub you linked to was talking about a VC game, not the Masterpiece version. You'll likely just have to learn some hex editing. The original tutorial you posted is a helpful guide, and probably the best you have. What parts are hard for...

    Smash 4 Masterpieces how do I rip the files like the roms?

    I mean, it's possible, but it's wildly inefficient due to the extra layers of encryption and other modifications Nintendo throws in there. There's no real reason to do this. If your goal is purely to play Earthbound, then just use NUSspli. It downloads directly from Nintendo's servers, and it's...

    Hacking Hardware Flashing Orange led when trying to boot up to the minute menu .

    Sounds like a formatting issue. You've successfully written the boot info to the motherboard (hence your purple light), but the Wii U fails to load the exploit from the SD Card. If you haven't already, follow the install guide very carefully if you plan to reinstall. There's also a guide...

    Hi

    The Wii U is a fun one! I know my wife used one in college a bit with her roommates. Recently modded and fixed one myself. Welcome to the forums!

    Hi everyone

    Retro gamer here myself! I've always loved playing the older stuff, it's timeless (and, admittedly, nostalgic) for me.

    Henlo!

    Console repair was why I joined the forums myself. I work on computer software way more, so it was foreign territory. Glad to get the help I did, and you'll find a lot more awesome stuff waiting for you on these forums.

    Hello

    Another 30 something year old here, always love seeing new ROM hacks and mods on the site! I've made a few mods for a couple games (right now I'm working on a mod for Prince of Persia), and it's always fun to see what others can do. :yay:

    hemlo

    I don't play a ton of modern AAA titles. It's fun to take a look back in time and play some other content for sure.

    Brazilian gamer successfully sues Microsoft over closed account instead of buying games again

    It's definitely not a large sum of money, but it's better than the guy getting driven into debt
