    Homebrew Teething questions - Wii U, Haxchi & Retroarch

    OK I managed to get a bit further. I followed this video: I'm now able to run Nintendont from my Wii U and then launch GC games with gamepad support from within. I don't know if I'm doing this in the best way, but it does at least work!

    Homebrew Teething questions - Wii U, Haxchi & Retroarch

    I'm sorry, I'm still quite confused. Googling for "Nintendont Forwarder Channel" is bringing up a lot of different things. Do I understand correctly that to use the Wii U gamepad for Gamecube games I should install USBLoaderGX on my vWii from /https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/? Am...

    Homebrew Teething questions - Wii U, Haxchi & Retroarch

    Great, I've got Nintendont working in the vWii now, thanks for the pointers. Is there a way to use the Wii U Gamepad to control GC games in the vWii? (I've seen videos of this but they're old.) Is there a way to launch GG games from the Wii U homescreen? (Drbadass: I haven't got Retroarch...

    Homebrew Teething questions - Wii U, Haxchi & Retroarch

    Thank you. The guide's to mod my vWii says that, to use Method 1, "You need your Wii U on firmware v5.5.1". Mine is on 5.5.4. So it sounds like I will need to use "Install method 2 - vWii. The old method, inherited from the Wii era". Is that correct?

    Homebrew Teething questions - Wii U, Haxchi & Retroarch

    Hardware Wii to Wii U transfer failed - dead end?

    Great news! Folllowed the steps above, and when the Wii was copying, it only listed my savegames, so I wasn't hopeful. However, you were right. When I go to the Wii U Wii shop I can redownload everything. Very chuffed about this, got my Miis, my software, and can even restore the NAND backup on...

    Hardware Wii to Wii U transfer failed - dead end?

    I have a Wii and a Wii U. The Wii is soft modded, running Homebrew Channel, BootMii. I did a NAND backup of the Wii. Then I downloaded the Wii U Transfer Tool onto it. I went through the Wii Transfer Tool on both Wii and Wii U, but there was a problem with the size of the SD card. When I...

    Hacking USBLoaderGX Gamecube rip: "not enough free space on device"

    Strange outcome: I tried connecting the hard disk to windows instead of linux and found that the files weren't in a wbfs folder, but were just loose in the root directory and unrenamed. I have no idea what happened there. Anyway, renamed them, moved them, and they now show up in USBLoaderGX...

    Hacking wbfs2fat.py

    I just ran this to convert my WBFS drive to FAT32 and ended up with a directory called /wbfs containing further directories for all my games. Each of those contained files like RLBPWR.wbfs. When I connect the drive to my Wii now, it says I have zero games on the disk! Do I need to do a further step?

    Hacking USBLoaderGX Gamecube rip: "not enough free space on device"

    I set up my Wii back in the day when WBFS was the only option. I've just used wbfs2fat.py to convert it to FAT32 and, when I read it on my PC, it has a wbfs folder containing a directory for each of my games. Within those, there are files like RLBPWR.wbfs. When I connect the drive up to...

    Hacking USBLoaderGX Gamecube rip: "not enough free space on device"

    Tonight I updated my USBLoaderGX to 3.0 and installed DIOS MIOS using Waninkoko's WADManager 1.7 with IOS 249. Now, when I try to rip a gamecube game (I've tried Donkey Konga 2 and Killer7) it says "Error: Not enough free space on device." "Install Error!" However, USBLoaderGX shows at the...
