Hacking Issues about vWII emulators and forwarders on WII U menu and vWII

ExZardoz · Sep 13, 2021

I'm so sorry if I missed it, but I couldn't find anything relevant info on the internet also i hope i wrote this in the correct section (sorry if I was wrong)

I wanted to create a forwarder for an emulator in vWII...
i tried to inject the boot.dol of the wad using the TECOmoon injecting tool...but it gives me a DSI error, now I know that if it is a mistake of the program I should shut up and not complain about it, the reason why I write is that I believe that there is some error in the injecting that I have not paid attention to.
anyway, i've heard about other methods to have emulators (or forwarders) displayed on the WII U menu, for example... a user on youtube apparently managed to create forwarders of the emulators (core) and put them on the WII U menu... but did not provide any guidance or tutorial on how to do it.
i'm confused, can someone help me please?

i couldn't find any tutorials about it

@Yvaning for inject DOLs into forwarder WADs for Wii, use my newish tool Wii Homebrew DOL iNJECTOR, download it from here: https://gbatemp.net/download/nintendo-wii-homebrew-dol-injector-beta-version.37252/

For convert a Wii forwarder in WAD to vWii (Wii U) forwarder, use my new tool WiiForwarder2vWii, download it from here: https://gbatemp.net/download/wiifor...wii-u-forwarder-converter-beta-version.37254/

EDIT: I don't know how to make forwarders for Wii U (but for vWii mode yes), sorry.

But anyways, if you want for Wii or vWii, go use my tools mentioned.

Greetings

Hey @SaulFabre , thank you so much for all that you have done. I used your tool wiiforwarder2vwii with many of my wii wads. I have an issue where only 1 wad showed up on my vwii menu after installing them with the wad manager. Do you have an idea why the other wads did not show up on my vwii main menu?

All the wads work on my regular wii.

Thank you.

@Panchosfriend

Could you try installing the WADs using Wii Mod Lite, Multi-Mod Manager or Yet Another WAD Manager Mod?

I used Yet Another WAD Manager Mod to install the wads. All the wads gave me an OK when installing them.

so i think you're using YAWMM?
Try using either WiiModLite or MMM (Multi-Mod Manager).
Maybe you also need to ask @XFlak or anybody else about WAD installing on Wii.

But i'm trying to install my converted wads to vwii. Not on the regular wii.

WiiModLite & MMM (Multi-Mod Manager) are compatible with both original Wii and vWii mode of Wii U as well.
But that still needs to have the correct WADs for your type of Wii (Wii or vWii).

Hey I just found out that you can only put one wad in the INPUT folder at a time for the wad can come out correctly. I put all my wads in there at one time and that is why they didn't get processed correctly by your tool even though they created a vwii wad. Anyways I got all of the wads running on vwii. Thank you so much for your tool. It helped a lot.

Yep. I forgot to tell you that my WiiForwarder2vWii tool cannot handle more than one WAD file at the same time. You need to place only one WAD and convert one WAD to vWii per time you launch/use my tool.
