Hacking USB Hard Drive(s) Setup.

[Nemix77]

As the titles says, I know the Wii U with CFW uses it's own hard drive formatted in WBFS for loading games. And the vWii needs it's own hard drive formatted in FAT32 and Nintendon't can be loaded via USB Loader GX.

My question:

For the vWii hard drive, can Nintendon't standalone (forwarder) see the Gamecube isos on the vWii external USB hard drive?

How about wads, do they still need to be installed on an SD card in the vWii or can they use the vWii external USB hard drive also?

I know there's a emuNAND function now with USB Loader GX but I haven't researched it all just yet.

1. I believe the answer to the first question is yes. in fact, I think it asks you where you'd like to load games from.
2. wads can be in the emunand on an external hdd. that's how I have mine. you have neek2o, which is full emulation, or regular emunand. full emulation is only for certain games. for example, castlevania rebirth doesn't work without it. I don't know what it does, but valis 2 is another game that doesn't work with it. the game freezes on the opening.

Use techmoons wiivc script injector then you can install them as wiiu games and all on the same USB drive. And gc are compatible with wiiu gamepad

Alright, if I go Wii U Script Injector method, I'm assuming I only need one USB hard drive for Wii U, Wii, WiiWare and GameCube games.

Suppose I go with Haxchi for the Wii U, do I still need to hack the vWii if I'm going with the Wii U Script Injector method for Wii, Wiiware and GameCube games?

I mean doesn't using one hard drive for Wii U (plus injectors) render the hard drive useless in USB Loader GX meaning is there still a need to hack the vWii?

no vwii hack is needed for script injector

Just tried injecting a GameCube game and the game did not load (Skies of Arcadia).

Do GameCube games need Nintendon't installed on the Wii U?

 

[hemi426]

Yes,you can download it to your sd card with script injector(do not move it) and generate a config file

I got everything working before you posted, GC game(s) are tricky.

I'm really impressed with the Wii U's hacking and homebrew scene.

I could only imagine how better it might be if the Wii U sold well and there was more interest for community developers to continue supporting.
