Hacking Getting a wii u in a week

[Dmx001]

What should I look forward too and or do first. I still have my original wii with hbc and everything working with gc and wii backup loaders. Wondering if I could do the same with the wii u, not so much with the wii u games cause I could just buy the 3 good game on it but for the wii and gc things

As long as you have a entry point, such as smash lego batman twilight princess, you should be good for vwii. Also, the wii u doesn't have a native gamecube port sooo...

Also, things aren't as cool as with wii hacking though.

Ah well I guess I'll use it for smash 4 and mario maker. Seems like this system still has a long way to go before besting it's predecessor in hackability.... or at least for now.

The Wii U has a virtual Wii inside it meaning you can run Wii and Gamecube backups almost the same way you would on a regular Wii. 99% of the Homebrew you'd use through the Homebrew Channel works on the vWii so there's no issue there either. Honestly it's just as good as the old Wii end-user for hacking (especially since it outputs natively over HDMI) wise it's just some things take slightly longer to setup. Also with the Smash 4 GC adapter you can use GC Controllers with any GC game through Nintendont.

Wait seriously it all works on this vwii thing awesome cause I was lacking a sensor bar for my wii so if the wii u didn't do it I'd have to buy a new one and carry both systems

Wii U should have come with a new sensor bar for the wii side of things.

The sensor bar is just infrared lights by the way. You can use two candles if you don't have one.

That's actually pretty cool thanks for the advice
