What firmware do you need to be on to get this to work?
5.3.2. They're looking into porting it to 5.4 and 5.5, but we're not sure when that'll happen or if it ever will. It will take a very long time at least as the badass hackers need some more time to figure out some more exploits. Tbh, I think we may have a 9.3+ exploit for 3DS before we have a 5.4 exploit for Wii U but that's just my gut talking.

I'm googling around on how to identify what firmware the system comes with when bought new, nothing. You got any suggestions?

Do you already have a Wii U? If so, then you can buy a console only version for pretty cheap (I already posted the link to two of them for Asia81).

If not, I'm not sure. The 5.4 update hit in June I know, so you may be able to find a bundle with a date before June. I don't know if they stopped producing Wind Waker bundles but they've been around for quite a while. I know they stopped bundling ZombiU so I'm almost certain if you can get your hands on a ZombiU bundle that it'll be before 5.3.2. TBH, I'm not entirely sure how to update to 5.3.2 if you find an earlier version as I never had to do it but I'm sure there's a way.

Loadiine can run region free. I was just playing a EUR dump of Yoshi's Wolly World on my NTSC system. And I just checked and yes my NTSC system can use the French language as well as Spanish, and Portuguese.

At this very moment I'm uploading a three part video series on how to use Loadiine (The first is extraction, the second is setting up SD card and running the games, and the third is how to update games).
That's excellent, I have a Wii U on 4 point something but have been afraid of doing anything in case I stuff it up, as the process is a lot more complicated than with the few other consoles I have played with (3ds, PSP, vita)

Wish I could tell you how to update to 5.3.2 but you're certainly going to want to. There's really no reason not to at this point. Just be careful not to go to 5.4 or 5.5


Didn't mean to derail the thread.

I'd still recommend eBay for people looking for 9.0 3DSes. Also people sometimes trade them in the trading forum here. I bought mine here.

Edit: OH DUH! I KNOW HOW TO UPDATE TO 5.3.2! Just use the disc update! Try Mario Party 10. Unless they're reprinting them with a later firmware now, it should update you to 5.3.2.

It's OK, I have heard Yoshi's wooly world has the right update so I'll buy myself a copy, use it to update, dump it, and then sell it again. It is a shame that the only game I really want to play isn't compatible yet (WW) but modding consoles is fun in itself, if there is no game to play at the end of the process I really don't mind too much.

Oh, you may be a bit out of date if you think WW isn't compatible! Check out the new list. http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Loadiine_compatibility_list

I also mentioned it in my second video as working without needing Smash Bros. If only they can get Bayonetta 1+2 and Super Mario Maker to work then I'll be in paradise. I edited the post you quoted to say that Mario Party 10 also has the 5.3.2 update. If you can rent it, then you'll save some money unless you're planning on returning it or something.

Just finished making it my friend.

Part 1: Extracting .wuds
Part 2: SD card setup/Loading games
Part 3: Updating your games.

And here's a playlist with all three videos.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo59pBvZG2_nbarZS66CtDJNzg6-wx6HA

I was really trying to make it the most noob friendly tutorial out there.

Thanks, I'll take a look in a few. Just wondering since I have been out of the loop they still need to play from the sd card and not from usb or network?

The video will explain it but yeah it's all done through the SD card. In the case of Super Mario 3D World you'll have a 22+gb wud file that you find online. You'd then use my first video to extract it so that you have 1.56gb of needed information. In the second video I show you how to put that info on your SD card and load the game. In the third you'd learn how to update your game (though I don't think SM3DW has an update).

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Shouldn't this thread be moved to the wiiu section? :P
Yeahhhh I didn't mean to derail it this much!

NO WAY!!! She's really sweet in person, she fooled me because I didn't realize I was "talking to her" until she had walked away and someone said 'DUDE THATS TAYLOR SWIFT'.

Lol really? I am just going to her concert :-p

She's never been to Austin before and she asked me "what was good to eat", I said "I dunno try that italian joint. Its ok." I came back in that direction again, because I had to park 5 blocks out from where i work, and she asked me again but this time she wanted me to join her. I said I had work and she kinda rubbed it in my face that her work was hard too and all she had to do was sing. LOL.
