vWii cannot be launched from RedNAND, only SysNAND. That's the reason why it appeared to be corrupted like you said. Once again, vWii can be launched ONLY from SysNAND, NOT RedNAND!

Wrong, they are exactly the same game.
Yes they are the same game but the VC version can be installed natively on the Wii U and run through the Virtual console using the gamepad controls. Watch the video and you'll see that when you exit the game it goes back to the Wii U menu and not the vwii which would explains why it works in rednand

Jesus christ, that has got to be the most uneducated statement I have ever read on this website. Your understanding of this is completely off-base.

To put it simply, the Xenoblade which was played on the video was the eShop version (Wii game purchased from the Wii U Store and not from the Wii Store), that's why the game runs on the Rednand without any problem. The eShop version can also be played and controlled by the gamepad without the need of wii mote.

Once again I say, that's not how it works. The eShop titles boot into vWii. Having read the Cafe SDK manuals, I know that a certain part of the system is always reserved for the home menu and it's apps when on the Wii U side. Notice anything about what it shows when he opens the home menu during Xenoverse? That's right, it's not the Wii U home menu, it's the original Wii home menu. That's because the console is not running in Cafe anymore, the Wii U has switched to vWii mode.

There's no reason why what's being shown in the video should work. People have confirmed plenty of times before now that Cafe2Wii titles also don't work in redNAND.

No need to be insulting or make condescending remark dude, like animex2k9 pointed out this is the Wii U version bought on the Wii U store which is why I believe it works in this case. And if I'm wrong which is totally cool, you might enlighten us with the right explaination...

I'm not insulting anyone, I will admit to being condescending though, and I have every right to be. Why are you completely ignoring my explanation? There is no Wii U version. The title available on the eShop is nothing more than an application that reboots the console into vWii and automatically loads the game, as well as patching in support for operating the game with the gamepad.

There is no reason why this should work, it is still booting into vWii. You know, THE THING THAT DOESN'T WORK IN REDNAND!

Basically rednand can't boot OSv0 (the vwii icon) but can boot OSv1 (the eshop titles) if the title is installed on sysnand.

Look man, I don't really feel like playing a flame throwing match with you, your explaination make sense and hopefully the op got his answer. Btw I wasn't ignoring you since I was writing the previous post whilst you already posted your answer.

That's some nice anger management there

You can start vWii titles if you install them from sysNAND. Because the tickets needs to be on the sysNAND.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
