Hello,

so Ive been reading me into the issue with playing Wii/GC Games on the Wii U from the same HDD as the one where the Wii U Games are installed.

Didnt really get if that is actually possible, and if how good, though.

So as far as I know you can do that theoretically if you create Injections of the Wii/GC games either with the WiiVC Injector or the Wii U Usb Download Helper right ?

For testing I tried to create a Injection of a Viewtiful Joe 1 Gamecube Iso that Ive got, with the WiiVC Injector I couldnt since I dont know where to get the title ID since apparently it doesnt exist for this game (Isnt on the Eshop after all) ?

And with the Wii U USB Helper it was pretty much doable without any issues.

Is there a Application between the two that is to favor over the other, since I noticed the USB Helper apparently always shrinks the game, or doesnt it make any difference ?

And another question I have is, how do these Injections run on the Wii U ? Are they run via Nintendont so that the compatibility doesnt suffer or are they run in another way unpreferable to nintendont ?

Hello,

with the wiivc inject wizard (wii and Gamecube), you install your games either on an external hard drive or the wii U's Nand and you will start your games from the wii U menu.

For Your Viewtiful Joe Game ID ==>https://www.gametdb.com/Wii/GVJE08

Um do you mean something different from this ?: https://wiidatabase.de/wii-u-downloads/pc-tools/wiivc-injector-script/

Other one that I am using is this: https://github.com/FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releases

I just noticed though that this just aks for the title ID of a Game called "Heavenly Father Feather" instead of the one for Viewtiful Joe.
