Requirements:

  • Windows 7/8.1/10
  • At least .NET Framework v4.6.1 (Windows 8 & 10 also need the .NET Framework 3.5 feature enabled)
Supported Injection Types:
  • Wii Retail Game Injection (ISO / WBFS)
  • Wii Homebrew Injection (DOL)
  • GameCube Retail Game Injection (ISO / GCM) - Multidisc games supported
  • vWii NAND Title Launcher (Specify Title ID of installed WAD you want to boot)
Features:
  • Full-featured-GUI with real file selection, no more having to place specifically named files in folders
  • Download Icons and Banners for your game directly from a repository run by @cucholix (Or provide your own)
  • Custom GamePad Banner and Logo support
  • Preview boxes for all Icons, Banners & Logos
  • Custom Boot Sound support (with looping)
  • Multi-Line Game Title support (how it displays on your Wii U Menu)
  • Wii U Title IDs generated based off your game's internal Title ID, NOT randomly generated. Generated Title IDs will never overwrite a legitimate retail title.
  • GamePad Emulation modes (Extra modes only applicable for Wii Retail / vWii NAND Launcher Titles)
    • No GamePad Emulation, Wii Remotes only
    • Classic Controller Emulation
    • Vertical Wii Remote Emulation
    • Horizontal Wii Remote Emulation
    • Force Classic Controller Connected (Wii games will be auto-patched to support this feature, your vWii WADs still need to be patched before being installed to vWii)
    • Force No Classic Controller (Very limited use cases)
    • Swap L & R with ZL & ZR
  • Nintendont SD Card Management Menu
    • Download latest Nintendont revision from GitHub
    • Generate Nintendont Config file
Advanced Options: (NOT RECOMMENDED UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING)
  • Nintendont Options
    • Force 4:3 for GameCube games (Disables "Force Widescreen" and "WiiU Widescreen" options even if they are specified in your config file)
    • Specify a custom Nintendont Forwarder (If you compile a custom main.dol from source)
    • Disable Autoboot (Nintendont menu shows instead of autobooting game)
  • Wii Homebrew Patches
    • Disable Wii Remote Passthrough in GamePad Mode
    • Don't use GamePad as controller (Won't prompt for usage, also applicable for GameCube titles)
    • Enable cafe2wii patching (WII U STARBUCK ANCAST KEY REQUIRED, USAGE NOT RECOMMENDED)
  • Wii Retail Injection Patches
    • Don't trim game output (Game won't be repacked with WIT, useful for games that are problematic when trimmed)
    • Patch video mode using Wii-VMC (Useful for PAL-exclusive games that don't support NTSC video modes or vice-versa)
  • vWii NAND Title Launcher Patches
    • Force 4:3 for WiiWare that doesn't support widescreen (like Virtual Console titles)
Other Perks:
  • Once keys are specified, they are saved to registry so you don't have to re-specify the keys every time a new version is released (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\WiiVCInjector)
  • Once base files are downloaded with JNUSTool, they are saved to ProgramData so it doesn't have to be re-downloaded every time a new version is released (C:\ProgramData\JNUSToolDownloads)
Noob protection:
  • Wii / GameCube header checks
  • On-the-fly image conversion for a variety of types
  • Audio File header checks
  • Conditional flags for title builds
  • Non-applicable options are disabled

Have you put right keys in. I accidentally put xenoblade chronicles X in when it's not x version.

So theoretically speaking, if I enable HIDtoVPAD, inject Smash Bros Brawl, and enable Gamepad Classic Controller emulation, could I use a GameCube controller in the game? Same goes for any other Wii VC.

That's what I was about to ask, if it completed in 10 seconds it definitely didn't build right. I will see if I can implement a check for the right key in the next version. In the meantime I would recommend you re-download the zip and make sure you use all the right keys.

This isn't the case, when the system reloads into vWii mode to run the game HIDtoVPAD will be unloaded.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I have updated the script to version 1.0.1 adding a check that the correct Title ID is provided. It will fail if it detects the wrong Title ID and tell you. The new download is available at the top of the OP.

Amazing, would be possible add an option enter the output game id manually?
Also for it recognize the .tga too directly?

This is just what I need! I'm gonna go run this right now!

Something that would be cool is to be able to add custom boot sounds. wav2btsnd can do the conversion.

Both of these are probably implementable, I dabbled with custom boot sounds but figured it was out of scope for an initial release. I will add both of these to a to-do list :)

GOOD JOB! THE THING IS MOVING FORWARD FASTER THAN EVER
One question tho, can I play wiimmfi online after modifying the ISO? Will it be able to connect?

I believe so, whether you inject the iso manually or use this script it shouldn't have an effect.

T-total noob question here. Since we have tools like this for Wii games, is it possible that one day we would be able to install GameCube games the same way? That would be a dream come true.

It would have to be done through a homebrew app such as Nintendont, but in theory eventually it should be possible.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
