Hi, I'm having a problem when trying to launch my legit Wii eShop games from Wii U menu, every time I launch a Wii game the screen goes black, after about 1 minute the Wii U reset itself to the system menu... What happen? I can access to the Wii menu just fine :/

I played Metroid Trilogy just fine about one month ago, now I downloaded SMG2 and Kirby Return to Dreamland and cannot play them!

I haven't made any change on vWii recently, just installed latest HBC. On Wii U I installed haxchi with Kirby Mass Attack...

Not sure... I remember having aplied a fw.img once, I though it wasn't permanent... :c

At the time trying to play Wii games on Wii U I boot them directly, I didn't load any fw.img, not even started HBL or haxchi.
If it is rednand your problem is vwii doesn't work in rednand and neither does wii eshop.

So the titles worked when booting normally? Are these games legit or pirated?

No, they don't, what I mean is that even when booting directly I got black screen, they are legit eShop downloads.

Delete them all... Downloading Kirby RtD again, I hope it works :c, fingers crossed.
OSv1 should be installed within the first Wii VirtualConsole title right? How I'm supposed to screw that, never messed with system files, I'm not that advanced user to do that :c

afaik the wii u boots a fw.img in the content folder. I think that fw.img is booted with the help of OSv1

    @Xdqwerty No you heard wrong, and don't believe till you experience yourself. Fallout 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yes it had issues early on, esp with older hardware like the xbox1, but it is awesome, esp now being 4k on Series S/X or PS5

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, Then i think people were talking about fallout 76
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    that one was buggy too
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right there, fallout 76 was a letdown, but it not that bad now, they have fixed slot of issues they had at launch. Biggest issue with Fallout 76 is its a pay to advance further type of game, which sucks
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, I may probably download fallout 3 or new vegas on my ps3
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    cuz I didnt like fallout 1 that much
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    New Vegas is awesome, F3 was ok too.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I played Fallout 4 on PC, I enjoyed it honestly. Not my favorite game on earth but at the same time I didn't hate it at all lol

    Or worse, you downloading something, and someone calls your phone and interupts the download, good ole AOL. Of course that's before most you guys even were born yet.
