Hi !
I'm proud to announce that the tutorial is finished !
There is the tutorial with installation of all software programs, build the game and install it to a Wii U Unit

Here is the Google Drive link : Unity Wii U Tutorial

The 2 parts are available in English and French.

The Tutorial for Wii U Cafe SDK Deluxe (my tool to convert Wii U Dev files to normal Wii U unit) is here : GBATemp Thread

Note : Just one little thing, the v1.3.0 of Wii U Cafe SDK is not released (yet) but there is the automated installation tutorial, but all other things are the same. I will tell when the v1.3.0 will be available

I'm available by PM or here for any questions !

Known Issues :
#1 : The NDI display an error when log in
Screenshots :

Fix :
Can you log in on developer.nintendo.com, and to your profile (top right corner with your username, and "manage account").
Scroll down to the bottom, and check your developer roles. If the section doesn't appear or is empty, you need to add the roles to yourself

Option 1 :
If you have an edit button on the page, use it

Option 2 : (For team more than 1 dev/users)
Go to "Admin" (next to Getting Started and others), "Users Management" on the left, and select your account. Go to the bottom and click "Edit"

In both options, you need to be the company admin (you are if you're the only member) on the DP (Developer Portail), if you're not, contact it to do this.

From the page, you will be able to scroll down again and add the 3DS and Wii U Roles. ("Company 3DS User" and " Company Wii U User")
After that, login on the NDI and follow the tutorial like normal

Have a nice week and happy coding your Unity Wii U Game !

Even if they are discontinued you can still have access to the SDK. Just follow the first part of the tutorial and install the SDK with the Nintendo Dev Interface. At least if they don't change something. I think I will fully back up my Wii U + 3DS SDKs...
Note that Master editor and Config Tool are not on Internet Archive

 

[nullsrc1]

I have followed your guide, and i am stuck on a error when i input my Nintendo Developer ID.

Maybe you should, since i think the Wii U SDK on the Internet Archive is incomplete or something.

Not for now.

Seems strange that the NDI won't authenticate you. You used the installer from Nintendo Dev Portail or from my files. If you downloaded from me, check on Nintendo Dev Portal if there is a new release

Oh ok, i thought i need to download both of these tools, and yes i did install the Wii U SDK, the files were in the Wii U SDK Internet Archive page. And about the Nintendo Dev Interface, i can't find a page on the Developer Portal of the app.

Is the developer account needs to be a "Organization" or "Individual"?

Im getting quite literally the same error.
I attached the log file as a txt file cause gbatemp doesnt let me upload .log files.

Here's a screenshot of the error as well:

 

[RetroAndDev]

Normally, you can still access to the Wii U and 3DS SDKs
Check on Internet Archive, there is a full archive with Cafe SDK, License and Unity Wii U. You need to extract the SDK and add it from the NDI.
I will completely remake this full tutorial, but the Master Editor and App Config Tool is not mandatory.

Strange, I can't help you on that, It can be a bad account configuration. I don't know, I created my account many years ago

Hello! I've completed a full game port using Wii U, and for every build I made it worked perfectly, until my final build that I made today.
For some reason, whenever I try to launch this final build on my Wii U, I get this error:

Error Code: 160-0101
1) 5.5.6 U
2) WUP-001(02)
3) GW701793294
4) ABC0-0210-3375

Any help?
Also, no, my Wii U is not bricked, this only happens when I launch the game, not when I start my Wii U.

 

[ML87]

I have so many problems with this. You can no longer download the WIi U SDK from the NDI, even with a blank project, Unity still can't build it for Wii U, and The Wii U Cafe SDK Deluxe program you made doesn't even open for me! Plus, the "Version 3.0.0" isn't even out yet, making the supposed "Automated Install" completely out of the question! Some assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

From where you install the game ?
Can you try to uninstall and reinstall. Check your build options, they need to be exactly like in one of my older messages. I will get some more information about this error. Can you send me your build file by private message ?

Sorry about that. The kit is no longer available ? Can you send me a picture of the NDI when you need to select the kit ?
For the 2.0.0, I will make it when I will have the time. I know there is a lot of issue with the 1.X.X. I think the 2.0.0 will be make a Unity plugin directly. This need a complete rewrite, and I have 1 huge project who need to be finished in September when classes will restart (in France). If a v2.0.0 will be, it will after September 2024. To determine the issue with the installation, can you post a video/screenshots of you following the tutorial, so I can determine what’s wrong with your NDI

Basically, what i'm trying to highlight in the video is, the thing you have to download from the NDI is no longer put out by Nintendo. maybe you could send me a .megazarf of the install you need so that i can install everything straight from that? I'm all out of luck here. Edit: I don't know why, but I can't send the video, it's stuck uploading. so here's an image of the error I recieved.

Is you Wii U up to date? Your game might need newer firmware to run.

No Wii U OS update from years now, 5.5.6 also
I think I figured out why anyone cannot have access to the 3DS/Wii U kits

I didn't see any "Company 3DS User" and " Company Wii U User" options on my account, and I am already an admin.

 

[RetroAndDev]

No....
They tear down the SDK ?
I will check announcements to see if they shut down the SDKs for Wii U and 3DS. I'll keep updated !

Post automatically merged: Jul 27, 2024

I think they do it :
"If you are a new user, please apply for access to Switch information - Apr 4, 2023 1:02:04 AM" :
"The previously released Nintendo 3DS and Wii U development environments have been discontinued."

Check on https://archive.org/details/software and search for" Wii U SDK", there are an archive from this year with Unity (+Build Support) and the NDI SDK. I will not post a NDI Archive here

 

[gomus]

When i try to build i get these errors.
I suppose there is something wrong with the project because empty unity project doesn't throw these errors.
Currently i have no idea how to fix it.

Hey i want to develop games for the wii u but i cant see or add the Company Wii U User how do i add it i dont see this role in my edit profile menu

Can you tell me what build option you used ? Can you verify your setup and build method with my tutorial ? Here is the direct link : Unity Wii U Tutorial - GDrive

If you are the admin of the company in NDP (Nintendo Developer Portail), it can be Nintendo. I think they completely discontinued the 3DS and Wii U SDK for new users. I recommend you to use an online archive like I say here :

Skip the login when you start the NDI, go to Development Environments, install from archive and select the downloaded .megazarf
after I recommend you to check my tutorial, I assume in you have the NDP Roles (I install the SDK without the .megazarf). Instead of selecting "Create my own", you pick "Create from archive"

 

[gomus]

Can you tell me what build option you used

I tried all build options, but the result is always the same.
I'll try to download another version of the Cafe SDK and see the result, maybe this will somehow help.

Edit: I reinstalled cafe sdk and ghs multi, but still have these errors

 

[ShRBasti]

i didnt found a .megazart File but i found an Archive with all Files and the Café SDK can you Name me where i have to Pit the Files that the installer would place i dont get where

 

[RetroAndDev]

You can extract zip (i think I see what you found) into C:/Nintendo/WiiUSDK (for example, you can put it anywhere you want, that my own path and SDK Name). I attach you my setup guide for the SDK, goes to section 4.2 - Checking installation to see what the SDK looks like.
You can manage it with NDI after by adding it with "Dev Environment" -> "Link To Existing"

 

[gomus]

I found this in the log, which is probably why I can’t build. No idea how to fix this.
