Homebrew The Wii U Homebrew Request Thread

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

An FTP CLIENT, since some people like me already have an FTP server for storing files and don't feel like having to connect to a server made by our console just to copy some files around. Also, a file explorer like WiiXplore or GodMode9!!

NO!! That makes your Wii U into an FTP SERVER. What I'm looking for is an FTP CLIENT app for the Wii U so that I can just connect to my own file server to copy games/other stuff right from the comfort of using the Gamepad instead of my PC.

Ohhhh no I don't think a client exist sorry I don't know the difference

 

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

Ugh. I guess I'll just have to try and make one myself somehow, or maybe see if there's an existing client I could port to the Wii U (and maybe other consoles)

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

Oh WOOOOW, thanks. /s
(but if that somehow WASN'T sarcasm, then thank you actually. I know it'd be longer than five seconds though)

It was sarcasm but, i could try something out. I don't really mean to be a jerk I am just trying to be funny.

Oh WOOOOW already i've had some progress. i found a ftp client on github that is made in c AND has a makefile so this is gonna be easy. besides GUI GUI is gonna suck.

I've never done wii u development before but i have done some 3ds. And i am a fast learner.

So i gave up on the programming method and then i realized you could launch a ftp client from linux wii u

oh right

 

[Dudee15]

oh right

just get debian linux, and install a gui. BOOM run a ftp client there you go easy peasy.

App that initializes Wii Fit Meter without needing a balance board. Doesn't matter if some generic mii data is used, just something to make a new Fit Meter work as a pedometer. New Fit Meters need to sync with Wii Fit U to be used (they just show the sync screen), and Wii Fit U requires a balance board to start and navigate.

i dont really know what the balance board does and wii fit meter i never played the wii fit games but could you use someone elses save to get past that part of the game sorry if this sounds dumb i dont know much about the wii fit games

that's what i thought, but the board is actually used to navigate the menus from what i can tell. that being said, i havent been able to find any saves for wii fit u to actually try that. there appears to be a request on the wii u saves thread that is exactly that. a game mod could also solve this but i dont know the first thing about that.
