Hacking What would happen if the Return to Wii U Menu channel from vWii was ran on an actual Wii?

[BiggieCheese]

I’m morbidly curious to see what would happen. Obviously I know it wouldn’t magically turn the Wii into a Wii U as it’s a totally different console - but what would it do? Assuming it could even be copied from the Wii U’s memory (and packaged into a WAD file or directly exported into a Wii’s NAND) Would it brick or freeze the system, reboot it or maybe pop up some sort of error window due to it being made with a different firmware than what a real, up-to-date Wii would be running on?

Nothing, that's why there's exclusive vWii channels

Probably just power it off or reboot it. IIRC "powering off" with the power button in vWii mode reboots into Wii U mode instead.

I think it will cause a brick. If remembering correctly the Wii and vWii IOS is not interchangeable.

Your Wii explodes.

in all seriousness the channel just resets the console so either it would lock on a black screen or reboot as normal

I've tried it before. It just reboots the system.

If I delete the Wii U Menu channel off of my vWii, what would happen? Would my Wii U be broken forever?

 

[godreborn]

probably not. I don't know what would happen though. I know that if you do regionhax, then delete the user associated with that, both the wii u and vwii channels will disappear. is that what you're wanting? I know you can change the location of the wii u disc channel through hex editing; the vwii, I don't know. it won't delete it, just move it.

In all seriousness, I believe that channel just reboots the system. The Wii U will reboot into Wii U mode.

So the Wii will... yeah.

So would that end up completely erasing the Wii U part and make my Wii U a Wii?
Edit: In the vWii, I can access the system settings. WiFi, and all that. If I click the reset option in the vWii settings, does that also wipe the Wii U part and channel and make it a Wii that way?
Edit (again): I am trying to make my Wii U a Wii because I really want to try RiiConnect24 but I can't connect to the internet
