    Hacking WiiFlow Lite

    I was looking at the settings file and noticed a couple partition=8 entries that I wonder if that's the issue? " [GAMECUBE] current_item= default_loader=1 devo_memcard_emu=no disable=no emu_memcard=1 favorites=no game_language=0 gc_games_dir=%s:/games last_cf_mode=1 partition=8...

    Hacking WiiFlow Lite

    Yeah, for some reason it doesn't want to see the sd card, it's the only thing with this issue. We're talking about a 1 minute 15 seconds long time to start up. If I accidently formatted as 32kb cluster instead of 64k could that be the issue?

    Hacking WiiFlow Lite

    I can try getting some logs for you now that it runs. WiiFlow is the only thing having issue with this SD Card, if it is the SD Card. It is an older/slower one, but it tested fine and all that. Perhaps something about the USB Partition plugin is confusing WiiFlow? Perhaps the Wii U partition...

    Hacking WiiFlow Lite

    Edit: Well fuck me diagonally. That actually worked. I'll try that I got the WiiVC games working. It was a bug in the USB Partition plugin.

    Technical differences between vWii and Wii "Virtual Console"

    Interesting. It sounds like it's actually using Virtualization and perhaps running some kind of VM type container? This makes me think that the term "Virtual Console" may actually be a reference to how they're running these things in a technical sense. But that could be a stretch. Can you tell...

    Technical differences between vWii and Wii "Virtual Console"

    I am very curious about how the vWii and Wii "Virtual Console" actually work? And how they work differently from each other? Is the vWii actually Wii hardware running on the Wii U motherboard? Or is it a translation layer type flange similar to Proton/WINE? Or is it something more on the level...

    Homebrew Tutorial SDUSB - The modern way to play Wii U games from SD - at full speed

    Edit/Testing Update: So the 3.0 version did work. And I discovered the plugin is running from the sd card's wiiu/ios_plugins folder. Not the hax/ios_plugins folder from haxcopy. I can see that 5usbpart.ipx is in "/storage_slc/sys/hax/ios_plugins" as it should be. Am I derping on something, or is...

    Homebrew Tutorial SDUSB - The modern way to play Wii U games from SD - at full speed

    I'm having trouble getting Wii VC games to run from an NTFS formatted HDD using your USB partition plugin. Any tips or tricks? I read that Wii VC games only work on an SD card? Is that correct?

    Hacking WiiFlow Lite

    Edit 3: Wii VC games should work from an HDD while using the USB partition plugin. SDIO told me to try v3.0 of his plugin to see if that works. I'm still very curious about how WiiVC games work differently from the vWii. Edit 2: I tried installing Mario Galaxy 2 to the eMMC/MLC(It didn't give...

    Tutorial Homebrew app USB Partition - Use partitioned USB HDDs with the Wii U

    Edit: I confirmed that USB Loader GX works and runs games from the FAT32 partition. It's only launching Wii games from the Wii U Menu(installed from NUSpli) and WiiFlow that black screen crash. I'm now having what I believe is the same issue. I have a 750GB 2.5" HDD on a y splitter cable...

    Hacking WiiFlow Lite

    Edit 2: I tried your boot.dol and nothing changed. I did finally actually install and test a game with USB Loader GX on the FAT 32 partition. USB Loader GX works. It's just WiiFlow and launching Wii games from the Wii U Menu that black screen crash me. I am using the USB partition plugin that...

    Hacking WiiFlow Lite

    Edit 4: I came across several similar issues. One recurring issue involves only Japan Region Wii games working. I'm going to download one and try it after I go run some errands. I'm coming to suspect that what corrupted my eMMC also did some damage to my vWii system. I'm going to look deeper...

    Tutorial How To: Upgrading / Rebuilding Wii U Internal Memory (MLC)

    I tried to Rebuild my MLC without and eMMC replacement and it again got stuck at the GO GO GO screen. But this time with a solid orange light. Nevermind, my mistake, I didn't have it proper in the wafel_instal folder.

    Dump OTP.bin with PRSHhax fails with black screen

    Thank you! I wish there was a guide/write up that explained these things. Some people are fine enough blindly following a set of instructions. I need to know the why and how behind the instructions. Also for preserving this information for the future these kinds of technical explanations are...

    Thank you. The guide kind of indirectly says so, but I wanted to be sure before I went that far. As I said in a previous reply it's ok(for me, this in unusual) if the eMMC corrupts again. I want to try this first as a learning experience. My intent is learn all the ins and out of rescueing...

    Dump OTP.bin with PRSHhax fails with black screen

    (I derped and meant to type defuse, not redNAND) I was trying to say that it's not clearly stated anywhere when to use the dump otp.bin with PRSHhax. If you start searching to find similar issues to figure your own problem out you find multiple instances of people being told to use PRSHhax to...

    Dump OTP.bin with PRSHhax fails with black screen

    Ok, this is not clearly stated in any guide that PRSHhax is exclusive to using redNAND. I've run across threads stating to use PRSHhax specifically to dump OTP.bin. Which to someone restoring their Wii U for the first time leads to a lot of confusion and potential mistakes. I am very thankful...

    Dump OTP.bin with PRSHhax fails with black screen

    I can't dump my otp.bin with PRSHhax. It gives a message that's too brief to get a good look at. And then stays stuck on a black/blank screen. I'm using the ISFShax guide with PTB. I've been unable to install ISFShax to the SLC. I don't understand why the PRSHhax version of the OTP.bin dump is...
