So I wanted to log back into an NNID I had years and years ago, but I cannot remember the e-mail or password. And Nintendo can't really help because none of their topics are to do with my issue. I do have a modded Wii U, if theres like a hack or something with homebrew to get me back into the account i'd really appreciate someone telling me what that is.
Nintendo Network ID Lost Information.

I think this is possible, but I don't recall the file name. I think you need to use a hex editor on it to see what the email and password are. try googling a gbatemp topic about deleting profiles on the wii u. it should contain the file name.
I just checked real quick in a hex editor. I found it. it's in mlc/usr/save/system/act/(usr number)/account.dat. just lump that into a hex editor or it might be readable with a text editor as it looks to be plain text. search for EmailAddress and password. they'll be near the beginning.
Forgive me, I'm quite new to modding. Could you give me a guide on how to use a hex editor, or atleast give me a link to a youtube video.
nm about the password. it does work in a text editor. the password is just a password hash, but you can get your email address from it. get your email address, then call Nintendo.
if you trust me, I could get it for you, just send me the account.dat for the user you want the email address of. then, call Nintendo and tell them you forgot your password, and give them the email address.
just open it with notepad++ or notepad. there's no need to use a hex editor as everything is neatly organized.
use ftp to get to: mlc/usr/save/system/act/(usr number)/account.dat
then download it.
Thank you so much. It took me a while to get into the email address but eventually everything worked. Again, thank you so much!

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 -

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

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?

@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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 just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
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 -
