First and foremost, my original (and first Wii) - bought in late January 2007 was stolen in 2010. Bought a new Wii shortly after and homebrewed it to get get the Virtual Console games I had (on the first Wii) back . . . . Bought a Wii U in December, could I transfer the VC games from my second Wii to my Wii U, or would Nintendo not like that? . . . .

Nintendo probably wouldn't like it, but because VC games installed from WAD are actually installed, I THINK it would work.

Apparently the shop channel "requires" an update but If I try to get the update I get error code: 32007. Some youtube video shows disabling (or enabling) updates to occur with priiloder (or something similar named app), link to download app?

I am doing this right now actually and was getting the same error. A quick google suggested changing my router wifi channel to 1 or 11. I changed it to 1 and it worked immediately.

You cannot transfer a VC or WiiWare install to a Wii from WAD to a Wii U. It will check if the vc/ww was legally installed by cross refering your Club Nintendo Account or NNID.

Pip'

I don't think it requires a CN account or NNID to check the if the installation was (il)legal.
Illegally installed VC/WW have fakesigned tickets, which can be detected by the Wii shop easily.

So you are saying you installed pirated WADs that you want to transfer?

Official transfer won't do it. Simplest way I have found is to use the homebrew YABDM. You can dump the titles to a WAD and fakesign them if needed and then install them on the Wii U.

    Been trying, semi unsuccessfully, to figure out a TV "streaming dongle" sort of thing that has enough beans to handle Steam Remote Play. The "Chromecast with Google TV 4k" devices that I have introduce so much video latency it's crazy. And I've had no luck finding a good setup with an rPi yet
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Used to think the video latency issue was because it was on wifi, but nope, same shit even after moving them to ethernet

    @Sicklyboy have you tried the xiaomi ones? I have a 4 year old one that managed to work just fine (tested once for fun).
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Skelletonike, nope, not yet. only tried a LineageOS Android TV build and raspbian (with Plasma Big Screen which I can't get to work) on a pi4. Was thinking about running over to walmart today and seeing if they had their "Onn" brand Android streaming box in stock. Heard good things about those
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or a 4k firestick, I have several n they work great (mostly stream kodi from NAS drive) n they cheap. $25-50
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I've had such crappy experiences with fire sticks that I don't want anything to do with them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    The old ones were crappy/ slow ui/ weak WiFi but new gen better, at least for me.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But I have seen people liking those ONN stream boxes, and they come w no bloatware which is nice. (firesticks has tons of bloat)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I also use PiHole on my network which blocks most that crap, I definitely noticed all my smart stuff seems to work better after setting up PiHole

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Only experience Ive had was with the xiaomi one and with the one supplied by my internet supplier.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BigOnYa, And you must be careful not to find Android TV boxes come preloaded with botnets.

    Tbh there gets a point you avoid so much crap you forget a lot of people fall victim to it

    I have seen people not use adblockers and my reaction is genuinely a visceral "BITCH YOU LIVE LIKE THIS?"

    @SillyBee, Imagine the shear amount of malware they had gotten without using an ad-blocker, hold that thought in. :rofl2:
