Hacking Hacking the WiiU: A Simple Progress Guide

[driverdis]

I hope someone hacks the Wii U to be able to run emulators and homebrew,with gamepad and offscreen play support even! That would be epic and renew my faith in the hacking community!

Fixed that for you

So had Wii flow working all good and then Wii U updated to latest update and all games loaded from wii flow go to black screen for a few seconds then soft resets to the Wii wenu. Is this a known issue and is there a fix?

 

[nando]

i don't know, but i still can't get wii flow to launch any wii games off of a hard drive. i tried 2 different drives with y cables. one in fat 32 format with the 32 clusters and one in wbfs. it sees my games but all i get is a black screen. a couple of vc games work on emunand, but that's about it.

games do launch off my sd card, but then i get no sd card support.

Configurable usb loader works after it crashes 3 times pretty consistently. so to play a game, it freezes. so then i have to pll the power cord. i repeat this process 3 times and on the fourth launch, the games work. but by then i've killed about 10 minutes.

You do have the correct IOSes installed, right?

It can only be that your U is not set up correctly with the correct IOS's as suggested above. Have you been through the threads stickied in this forum?

 

[nando]

Im pretty sure i followed the instructions verbatim. Ill double check this weekend.

No don't care about emulators!

 

[F. Lobot]

So Devolution can upres Gamecube games to 1080p with anti-aliasing right? Do you think the WiiU has the potential to do this with Wii games as well? Is there anything inherently different about Wii and Gamecube games that limits the upresing potential or has it just not been coded yet. Is the WiiU powerful enough to run a 1080p or 720p Wii game?

 

[HackMan]

I remember Softmodding an Nintendo Wii. Do I still have to convert the games from wbfs to iso for vWii?
Also, Can you play n64 games with classic controller on vWii?

 

[jayjay123]

WBFS works fine on vWii afaik. Not sure about the classic controller and n64 though. Perhaps ask in the Nintendont forum here:
http://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont-crediars-new-project.349258/

It says 'several controllers' supported.

 

[HackMan]

Okay thanks.

 

[Muyfa666]

The classic controller work fine with N64 wads for me. No problems.

[smellflowers]

Nice tutorial but can anyone tell me how and where to find my firmwareversion of the wii-U?

 

[LawnMeower]

´go to the settings menu and look at the top right corner. it should say 4.0.2 e

 

[somewhereovertherainbow]

One question pops into my head .

Can we play Wii-U games on USB Loaders?

It doesn't actually render the internal resolution to 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720 AFAIK.

 

[Kargaroc]

I'm pretty sure that we're gonna need a Wii U mode exploit to run anything at all at any resolution higher than 480p. Once we have that, then we can see.

 

[EMarius]

quick and mostly likely noob question, got a wii u to play around with for xmas . just looked at the list of expliots for the wii u for homebrew , its mostly lego games and smash , i am guessing the twilight hack does not work on the wii u ?
