How to play VC Wii Games on redNAND

Do this at your own risk, I am not responsible if you brick or something (it's very impossible but who knows...)

Requirements​
  • Dimok's redNAND fw.img file *
  • redNAND installed in your SD (Check that it works)
  • Dimok's IOSUhax fw.img file
  • An encrypted (.app, .h3...) VC Wii game
  • An USB
* Note: I use this because I didn't try it with Mocha, if you do it, say me if it works and I will edit the post

0.- If you are noob and you don't have the fw.img files you can compile them from here:
https://github.com/dimok789/iosuhax
To get IOSUhax file do in a command line make cfw if you need redNAND file do make redNAND

1.- Open redNAND by CFW Booter or HaxChi
2.- Go to System Config Tool and install it in the USB (the NAND is the default installation device, remember to change it)
2.1.- Also you can install it with WUP Installer, WUP Installer GX2...
3.- Turn off the Wii U
4.- Extract your SD and connect it to your PC
5.- Change the fw.img and put the IOSUhax one
6.- Connect your SD to the Wii U
7.- Load IOSUhax
8.- Now install it AGAIN to the USB by your favourite installer
9.- IMPORTANT STEP: Check that you can launch and play your game in IOSUhax, if you don't do it, it will not launch in redNAND
9.1.- If your game has a different region that console you need to change one of them, if you have region free redNAND it will not launch too, if you have an EUR console and a lot of USA VC Wii games, the best method is change IOSUhax region

10.- After this remove your SD, connect it to the PC put the redNAND fw.img and you will be able to play VC Wii games in redNAND!!

Bye and Happy Hacking!

PD: I will do a video tutorial soon™ :D

Sorry for posting so much but I'm lost on step 1 and 2. Whats does it mean by "open red AND"? Does that mean run redNAND on the console? And what are you reffering to when you say "install it in the USB". Does that mean the system config tool? Or are you opening the system config tool to install something else?

Only because I'm new to modding and I'm terrified of bricking my Wii U. So, I used Mocha and redNAND because all of the brick safety reassured me that I wouldn't break my system

The only way you can brick is just by install unpatched SysConfigTool or system titles to Wii U. [And also changing system files but that requires FTPiiU_Everywhere and in other words, if you're very clumsy (Which imo isn't even a answer, i'm clumsy myself and yet i managed to do most of my stuff without bricking)]

There's no way to brick, even if you install out-of-region title. Nothing. Null. It will just not launch if you're not in sigpatched environment.
redNAND corruptions are pretty common so don't come crying when suddenly your redNAND corrupts and you lose everything, even your game progress.

Okay, but that wasnt my question, I was just answering yours when you asked why I use redNAND. No reason to get all upset.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
