Superb, will get started with that then.
make sure you follow the vWii guide AND vWii files only, NOT standard wii files as you will fuck the wii side of the console.
Also be careful with vWii's system IOS, I heard if you replace them the WiiU won't update anymore and you will stuck on 5.2.0
In general is not needed, I remember replacing my IOS60 with my regular Wii so I could load pirated games directly from the SD Card Menu. But to make USB loaders to work it shouldn't be necessary to touch system IOS.I don't think I've ever replaced an IOS on my regular Wii, why would one need to do that and at what point should I pay extra attention?

Be careful with certain wads. Wii ware is fine but it's easy to brick if your installing system files using wadsGreat, all I need on the vWii side is to be able to runs ISOs from the USB and nintendon't along with some WiiWare wads installed on the main screen. Thanks

Top tip, thanks. I was going to use this guide:

Sticking to the 1 USB, non hotswap version. It seems that the vWii isn't as customizable/easier to brick than the regular Wii so I'm going to keep it basic. Any tips?

STOP!! - The most important step should be done first. ...and that is blocking Nintendo Update Servers with either TubeHAX or your router!

Following the vWii guide will keep you out of trouble, I'd install nintendont too so you can play GameCube games as well
For vWii modding, THIS is the guide you will want to follow. If I remember correctly, though, in the OP, the folder structure is not displayed correctly. So, see my post, HERE, for folder structure.Fantastic, thank you. In the dearth of info and stickies in here that was what I was seeking.
Everyone has their own opinion about USB Loaders. I use two—WiiFlow and USBLoader GX (links to both are in my sig). Both have Nintendont capabilities.Good call, does that integrate into any USB loader (also which USB loaders do you recommend for vWii and Wii U? If not can I install it into the dashboard via a forwarder?
This must be compatible with 5.3.2. I mean everyone is on that firmware now.Do not update it IOSU is supported for 5.2.0 and under. Just needs to be built by someone who cares. Devs are working on it right now, but if you want the easiest route to IOSU, stay on that firmware, it's perfect <3
It only works for 5.2 and under.This must be compatible with 5.3.2. I mean everyone is on that firmware now.
Who wants to be on 5.2.0 anyway .
Yeah was talking for the future.It only works for 5.2 and under.
Yeah was talking for the future.
So wait, is there an advantage to staying on 5.2.0? I read the earlier link that stated that whatever weakness there was had already been patched in 5.2.0 ergo making the leap to 5.3.2 seem the best thing to do?
DO NOT UPDATE!
5.2.0 or under is best for potential iosu exploits in the future.
