Hi! WiiVC Injects don’t work on my WiiU, when SD-card with Aroma is in the console. All VC with Wii games don’t work: official and from special program. But when SD-card isn’t in the console, everything works stably. I can suppose, that console have problem with booting in the vwii from VC, because games show me Wii logo on the gamepad screen, but after that catch endless black screen(but I can boot vwii by the same icon on wiiu menu and it works fine). I changed my WiiU region from Jap to Eur(and same with the vwii, I changed vWii NAND). Has anyone come across this? Upd: I deleted all the files from the SD card, but the VC games still won't launch. So the problem isn't with Aroma.

Quake 3 is being ported to Wii U

I spent my last few months porting Quake 3 Arena to most consoles that didn't have a port yet (Wii, PS3, PS4, Xbox One), but my main roadblock was always the Wii U. Thanks to all the experience I gained from my previous ports as well as a new toy I'll release later I decided to give it another shot and I got much farther this time. The port is far from playable at the moment, but I lifted most of the roadblocks I ran into last time, which made all this very promising. Since this is my most important project so far, I'd like the first release to be very, very polished. However, I'm still unsure about which name I should pick this time around, so I'll pick the one with most votes the moment I have to do the release. Main features Crossplay with other Quake 3 clients, either via LAN or online Gamepad + Pro Controller support as well as other controllers through Bloopair Mod support Open Arena, Team Arena and CLASSIC (specific build to crossplay with Dreamcast clients) support. Installation This homebrew can only run under Aroma. Place ioquake3_wiiu.wuhb for Quake III Arena, ioquake3_ta_wiiu.wuhb for Team Arena, ioquake3_oa_wiiu.wuhb for Open Arena and ioquake3_classic_wiiu.wuhb for Classic inside wiiu/apps/, then follow the instructions below where to place the required files. Quake III Arena Place pak0-8 in /quake3/baseq3/ from your own Quake III Arena copy. Open Arena Place all the pak files in /quake3/baseoa/ from your own Open Arena copy. Team Arena Place pak0-3 in /quake3/missionpack/ from your own Team Arena copy. Quake 3 Classic Place pak0-8 in /quake3/baseq3/ from your own Quake III Arena copy, as well as dc-mappack.pk3 inside quake3/baseq3/ Latest release Pro and Cons compared with each of my ports: Wii + More stable framerate + Mods can load more reliably + Higher resolution, higher quality models and textures + Team Arena support + Automatically sets Player name based off User's Mii (with limits, due to characters limitations) + XInput support thanks to Bloopair - No mouse and keyboard support - No additional video modes PS3 + More stable framerate + higher quality models and textures, but not as noticeable as Wii's + XInput support thanks to Bloopair - No native OSK (for now) for text inputs - No mouse and keyboard support PS4 + Faster boot times + XInput support thanks to Bloopair - No native OSK (for now) for text inputs

Pretty much the title. I know quite a bit of C# and C, so I'd love to take a stab at what I could do on the Wii U

It completely depends on what you want to do. Homebrew? Or, making exploits, or..it depends.

Look at Dimok's port of Pong to the Homebrew Launcher. (The version with dynamic libs.) Also, I'm thinking about releasing parts of the homebrew I'm working on in order to help people make more homebrew. (Such as my custom-made graphics functions.)
