Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the emmc of a Wii U basic/8gb model to have 32gb (or more) internal storage and using a hardmod to reflash the original nand contents. According to http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Hardware/EMMC_NAND, the 32gb wiis use a Samsung KLMBG4GE4A-A001 or a Toshiba THGBM4G8D4GBAIE. Both can be bought on AliExpress for less than $20. My only concern is that the Toshiba and Samsung chips are BGA169, while the 8GB chip is BGA153. Though it seems that both BGA169 and BGA153 are the same, with the difference being that the BGA169 has 16 NC pins scattered around the edges.
Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Is it possible? I know it is possible, and very easy on the nintendo switch due to the fact that Hekate can be booted to reflash the nand and the emmc is socketed, but how difficult would this be to accomplish on a 8gb wii? I would love to have 32, 64, or even 128gb on my 8gb wii, and I do want to practice reballing
