    What can I do to future-proof my WiiU?

    I have a Hynix chip D: So I mean, it clearly still works. NAND backed up just fine. But... still feel like I should install the NAND-AID, just to be safe. Buying a 32 GB console seemed like such a good idea at launch... Edit: Though now that I think about it, since I have a NAND and save data...

    What can I do to future-proof my WiiU?

    Thanks for all the advice! Lots to think about. I've got a sturdy Samsung SD card coming tomorrow--I'll update to Aroma and run WiiUIdent. If it's not Hynix I just... won't worry about it for now (besides creating a backup). Good to know about *not* keeping the console plugged in. I think mine's...

    What can I do to future-proof my WiiU?

    My WiiU works. I haven't used it in ages and it's running Haxchi. I believe it is not a coldboot as I need to start Haxchi from the system menu upon boot. I went into Homebrew Launcher and I found an app to backup all my save data (sorry I don't have the name--it's backing up right now!). Next...

    ROM Hack Is there a way to modify VC CIAs that I already made?

    Thanks for the reply! Yeah I didn't save the projects :s By extracting the CIAs, you mean extracting the ROMs from them, I presume? I already kept all the original ROMs I converted so, that would be an unnecessary step for me. So I guess I have to remake all the CIAs then :s bummer, but could be...

    ROM Hack Is there a way to modify VC CIAs that I already made?

    I recently converted a large chunk of my GB/C collection to CIAs (it's... a larger number of games than I realized when I started). I used New Super Ultimate Injector and did not realize that all of my converted CIAs were set to be in pixel perfect size. Now that's not the worst thing in the...

    Hacking Help with Region Free Disc Loading?

    Got it working! For anyone curious: Apparently OurLoader doesn't work with Homebrew Channel when it'slaunched as a channel proper. I had to boot it through Haxchi and it worked flawlessly. That said, if anyone has any advice on getting Regionhax to work, I'd love to hear it, if it's an easier...

    Hacking Help with Region Free Disc Loading?

    Hi! I've been searching around for a while now and haven't found an answer. Apologies if I just didn't look hard enough! I just imported my first WiiU game, and went ahead and hacked my WiiU using the Haxchi method. I expected it to be patched automatically into a region free mode, but...

    Hacking Cannot Get Brawl Data Copied onto vWii

    That's what I thought, too, but it wouldn't let me copy it at all :/

    Hacking Cannot Get Brawl Data Copied onto vWii

    I successfully transferred my Brawl Data onto my SD card using Priiloader's nocopy removal hack from my Wii, but I just can't figure out how to get the Brawl data copied onto my vWii. I'm using Savegame Manager GX, but the program is utterly incomprehensible to me. No games saves show up where...

    Hacking Gateway Save to retail cart?

    Do I have to use both, then? I'm really not sure how to use either. Starting to think I shouldn't even bother transfer the save over; didn't realize it would be this complicated!

    Hacking Gateway Save to retail cart?

    I was wondering if it was possible to transfer a game save from a rom on Gateway mode to the original cart? The game uses 6.0 save encryption, but my Gateway compatible 3DS has sysnand 9.2, and it's a card1 game. All the information I can find seems to indicate that it needs to be below 6.0 save...

    Gaming Ugh, really convincing Fire Emblem fakes on eBay

    Sorry to triple post, but I've just noticed that the seller of that Fire Emblem cartridge, after pulling all GBA listings, put them back up, and there is now a stamped production code clearly visible on each one. They are certainly still bootlegs, though, as the "GAMEBOY" part of the log on the...

    Gaming Ugh, really convincing Fire Emblem fakes on eBay

    Somewhat related: Does anyone know if the presence of that two digit code stamped on the label *ensures* that the game is legit? Cause that same seller had a couple other GBA games with the digits plainly visible on front (and a Zelda without), and I'd be a bit surprised if they were selling...

    Gaming Ugh, really convincing Fire Emblem fakes on eBay

    Well that's a bummer. I went back through my entire collection just now (a bunch accrued from eBay, Amazon, and flea markets) of GBA and even GB/C games, and found that two digit stamp on the label of them all. The few that had worn labels I opened and they looked find inside. No black goo, etc...

    Gaming Ugh, really convincing Fire Emblem fakes on eBay

    I'm no stranger to watching out for fake GBA games on eBay, and I was familiar with the look of the fake Fire Emblem cartridges (with the three characters on front, slightly faded) so I thought I was okay. Found one for 23$ and jumped on it (figured it was someone who found it in a drawer and...
