Very confused with installing Gamecube / Wii games on the WiiU

[djricekcn]

I tried looking around, including Google but nothing appears to be working for me right now (most likely due to me not understanding clearly) and need assistance in installing Gamecube / Wii games on the WiiU console

・My WiiU console is 5.5.5j
・Aroma is installed
・I am able to play WiiU games off my Hard Drive

Now from here
1) I can't seem to find a way to install Nintendont I believe as I am not able to locate the homebrew channel to open it , the multiple instructions is written in the nature of "Start the Homebrew Channel, select Nintendont, and load the GameCube title" but I can't figure this portion out
2) If I need to get into Aroma Enviorment I am unable to figure out how to (can't find documentation). I though it said to load the Safety channel (forgot the exact wording) but that loads the Safety channel directly and not booting Aroma
3) I have tried creating a WiiVC via TeconMoon's WiiCV Injector.exe and it did create an Injector for me, however, although I only tried it with one game (PSO 1&2), it appears as corrupted file in a form of ??? on the WiiU screen - I don't think I missed up using the app as it gives you an error when correct things are not selected, but am I missing something if I filled in "Required Source Files" and the keys in "Build Title" ??

Sorry for the redundancy question as I'm sure it's been asked multiple times but I am unable to find a solution for my part after trying for hours and frankly, I am not sure what information is outdated and what not

Thanks

In addition to having homebrewed the WiiU (which you do if you have Aroma) you also need to hack the vWii and install the Homebrew Channel there. You can follow the instructions there, instructions are availabe for all Wiis and WiiU and just follow the ones for WiiU: https://wii.hacks.guide/get-started

Once you have the Homebrew Channel you can then install Nintendont and stuff like USB Loader (to play Wii games from HDD).

You don’t need to install the homebrew channel to vWii at all. I’ve never even touched vWii and play gamecube injects and Wii injects all the time

I boot them straight from the Wii U home menu

Whatever instructions OP was following, they were talking about Homebrew Channel, which only exists if you homebrewed the vWii... Likeley injects work even if the vWii isn't hacked (I myself have Gamecube and Wii injects too, mostly to use the gamepad on Gamecube games)... Anyways, if you have hacked the WiiU there is really not much reason to not also hack the vWii as you then can also use Wii homebrew and do some other things with it...

I can only play GameCube on Gamepad via vWii and not through WiiU menu? I do have vWii already installed but was looking for ways booting from WiiU as it takes a while to boot console then going into vWii.

I just hacked the WiiU today and the guide I used only had up to installing Aroma and from there I had to search all over on how to rip my own games, if theres a way to install wiiu games from HDD etc and still learning.

How can I get Wii/GC games on wiiu menu? Whatever guides I'm using, I'm not getting results except that ?? Error

use uwuvci or teconmoon injector to inject gc and wii games
to use homebrew channel from vwii with gamepad, you have to inject the homebrew channel but you will lose acess to USB on this side (only when you acess this injected channel)
injecting gc and wii games with the called app I mentioned, you can install on nand or usb like a official channel, just remember to have the right files on the sd (nintendont app for gc games, for wii no file neded)
