Hello everyone,
After plenty of messing around, I've made a guide on how to get ACCF Deluxe onto the Wiiu with these benefits:
- Gamepad support
- Classic Controller support
- Does not require your disc running in the machine
This guide must assume you already have a WiiU and that it has Aroma. In my case I have a copy that I dumped. Mine is called:
Animal Crossing - City Folk (USA).iso
Mine happens to be USA, English, and Rev0. It will matter later, but it'll be easy enough to figure out the minor changes needed. wbfs files work and can be converted mid process, don't worry. I'll also take this guide nice and slow. More people that can figure this out, the more towns we can all visit! By the way, this is my first time trying to format, so this post will likely get cleaned up.
Required Software + Downloads
Part 1:
- Download all files (minus the Gecko Controller File) linked above, then extract each into their respective folder. You can delete the zip files for the wit, dolphin, accfd, and isobuilder
- Open the "wit-v3.05a-r8638-cygwin64" folder, and run "windows-install.exe" to install.
- Run UWUVCI_INSTALLER to install it. You won't need uwuvci until the end.
- Open RiivolutionISOBuilder.
- Following the program, select your game. then select your riivolution XLM file located in ..\accf_deluxe_v1.1.2\riivolution the file required should match your version of the game. Mine is Rev0 and USA, so I click that.
- Thirdly, save the file into the "Dolphin-x64" folder as "accfd_patched".
- Say "Yes" for Core, and "No" for Classic Controller
- Open Dolphin. Set the game's directory as "Dolphin-x64". The game should pop up. Right-click -> properties -> filesystem
- Notice the data partition name. Mine, for example is "RUUE01". WIll be handy later.
- Right click Disc - > Extract Entire Disk. Instead of extracting into dolphin, extract into the main folder containing everything. In my case, the "tutorial" folder. It will be called "DATA"
Part 2:
- Open the "accf_deluxe_vX.X.X" folder -> "accf_deluxe" -> "game" -> "Brewster"
- There is a long list of module files ending in ".kmdl" Find the version that matches your game. in my case, mine is: "module.USA_REV_0.RELEASE.kmdl"
- Copy that file, and paste it into ../DATA/files which is the extracted game
- rename this file module file to "module.kmdl"
- Go back to the top folder (in my case "tutorial") and in the address bar, type "wit copy DATA accfd_final.iso"
- This iso file can be called whatever you'd like. It is an iso that technically works, but without the gamepad support.
Part 3:
The next steps includes gamepad support like you deserve.
- Remember that Gecko Controller file, and that disc partition name (RUUE01)? You need that Gecko website (here). Secondly, you need to go to Vague Rant's post on the Gecko Controller Code
- On the GCT (Gecko) website, name the "Game ID" your disc partition name/your game title name (RUUE01). Name the code title something like "Classic Controller"
- On Vague Rant's post, choose your version & region of your game and copy the code for the left stick control (it's the one that'll actually be useful compared to the right stick code) and paste it in the code box on the GCT website
- Click "Add Code", then click "Download GCT", then save it to the same folder containing your final iso.
- Finally, boot into uwuvci.
- Select "Get GCT File" to retrieve your gecko file. Next to it, select the "Classic Controller" option.
- I also check "remove VFilter" (personal preference). For the path, select your new, fully made and working iso file.
- Get your SD card ready for injection because that's basically it!
You'll have to figure out how to get online to work, but I say look towards WiiLink.
Lemme know what your friend code is, once you get it all figured out!
Thank you for everyone involved with the software and instruction on how to do it. I figured just a very simple step-by-step guide will help everyone that's newer.
