Homebrew Is it possible to load computer operating systems on a wii u through homebrew?

[Deleted User]

Hello everyone. I don't have much experience with using forums so please tell me if I'm doing something wrong. I was wondering if it is possible to run a second operating system like linux on a wii u? Is there a homebrew app that could do this? Thanks for reading.

Yes just google Linux WiiU

Also Windows 95 works

Ok. I would rather have linux on the wii u. I am new to wii u modding and I am a little confused. Do i put the linux loader files on my homebrew sd card, do I need a folder called linux, and once the files on the SD card do i load mocha or use something like cfw booter.

Another question. Could this brick my wii u?

Where would the two zip folders go?

Try asking in the WiiU Linux thread.

No, it's unlikely to brick your Wii U.
