My question is the same as stated in the topic post. I have a lot of virtual console games an wiiware but I ran out of space on my wii u so I was wondering if I could play them off the sd card. Any help would be great

I haven't tried this yet on the vWii but on a Wii you were able to install a VC/WW title to your nand then move it to the SD card and load it into memory from there

Yeah that's what I tried doing but it's not letting me the message I get is "Failed to launch" can if I try to move it back to the Vwii it says "game may have not been moved" or something similar.

It works with authentic wads, meaning purchased VC/Wiiware.

The answer for how to do this with pirated/injected VC games/Wiiware would result in several vWii bricks.

Please read carefully the next time!!
Only tempered and injected stuff "failes to launch" from SD card!
I have many clean dumps moved to my SD card and they all launch perfectly fine.

Hey I'm sorry about that lol but clean dumps? what's the difference? If you don't mind explaining it to me. Where would I go about getting clean roms? I really do appreciate all your help thanks so much.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
