Hacking Wii games on WiiU

[AlfretXX]

I found an old game Wii which i want to try on my wiiU. Format is ISO.
There are some threads how to play wii games on wiiU, but all of them seem to be old and not up to date (?).
I have a wiiU running haxchi without problems.

How can i play wii games, in my case? What are the steps i need to take?

For this, you have two options: you can either choose to play through the vWii, i mean, through the original Wii menu, or you can do it trough the Wii U Menu.

If you want to do it through vWii, check this:

Or you can do it by installing it as a vWii channel into the WiiU menu, the advantage of this is that the Gamepad will be usable as a Classic Controller in most games.
This is the injector: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-wiivc-injector-script-gc-wii-homebrew-support.483577/

The only "complex" part is the creation, as the installation part is the same as when installing a WUP game

For option 1 - do i need to install new cios files?

For option 2 - does the tool support the creation of games which use the balance board??

1.- Yes, vWii hacking is literally like hacking your Wii, but you need to install the specific ones for the vWii

2.- It should work, as the games execute in vWii mode, but i havent really tested it
