My vWii stopped working and Decaffenator didn't work either, it just says that the Wii U is already up to date, I tried to restore the update folder and I couldn't

so i cant post links, but search up exactly Wii U Virtual Wii Nands for all regions, install the one for your region, go onto tiramisu and get vwii nand restorer. and create a vwiinandrestorer folder (spelt exactly like that) onto the root of your sd card, and then put the extracted folder on the root of that folder. after that press (copy extracted nand to slccmpt) when that's finished, press fix modes. and it should work :) (tell me if it works or not, I just told you this with memory)

    @SylverReZ been thinking about hooking back up my Dreamcast cos whenever I play some Saturn I wish I was playing Dreamcast instead lmao

    @SylverReZ, alright
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @realtimesave, I frankly don't have my Dreamcast anymore, I sold it to buy other stuff. Good console but only games that I'm interested in playing are adventure-type games like Sonic and PSO and nothing else.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    First time I ever got to use a Sega Saturn was at a video game museum, got a good go at Daytona USA. Never owned one in my life frankly because of how expensive they are.

    @SylverReZ, those are the only good Dreamcast games also including crazy taxi, the shenmue games, and jet set radio

    @K3Nv2, lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Not a huge variety on the Dreamcast, only games that were licensed by Sega, well until the Mil-CD stuff got broken.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, it doesnt help that it was the last Sega console (and the genesis mini doesnt count)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    From what I've heard, rumours say that some members of Utopia had employees working at Datel who knew how the Mil-CD format worked. I doubt it but it's an interesting insight as to what not to do when adding protection to your console.

    @Xdqwerty, Here's an actual true case of what happens if you drink over 40 coffees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdViWjj47lU
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, oh..
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    A lot of caffeine content can affect the activity of the brain, like in this case where you have a manic episode and feel a lot happier than you normally would.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, stuff like that is why I don't like coffee
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    As long as you only drink one cup of coffee you'll be fine, I wouldn't go too overboard.

    @SylverReZ, maybe when I get home I will play some Mario 2 (both the doki doki panic one and the lost levels) and also finish downloading marvel vs capcom 3
