Requirements:
WiiScrubber v1.40;
nfs2iso2nfs v0.5.4; it may require the Wii common Key. You can use wiiscrubber's key.bin renamed to wii_common_key.bin.
A clean rip of your Wii game;
The extracted contents of a Wii VC title for the Wii U (except the .nfs files);
-the 2 below require java to be installed-
jnustool (requires Wii U common key so you'll have to search online - hint: it begins with D7B0. Open the "config" file in notepad and paste the key inside, replacing [COMMONKEY]);
NUSpacker (must be @ihaveamac's version, requires Wii U common key as well)

Current limitations:
It's possible to use the gamepad to emulate ONLY the Classic Controller.
Wii Remote emulation is possible but there's no gyroscope or infrared commands (at least for now).
(Input emulation patches by @FIX94)

The game must be already compatible with the Classic Controller but that isn't a guarantee that it's going to work.
Here's a compatibility list: http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/WiiU_VC_Wii_inject_compatibility_list

Integrity checks are still in place so only clean disc rips work.
The game iso must be pristine: untrimmed, unscrubbed and the partitions signed.
No homebrew, no mods, no wimmfi patched games until sigpatches are implemented.
Patched isos work now! Original idea by @Tock46!

Homebrew works now, even a special version of Nintendont by @FIX94

Trimmed isos still don't work, at least not isos trimmed by WiiScrubber.



HOW TO DO IT


0. Downloading a Wii VC Title
This may be illegal and I'm just telling you so you don't ever do it by mistake OK?
You can use the command line to download games' contents directly if you know the title id and title key.
I heard you can get them on a certain titlekeys site...

Once you have that, this is the command

java -jar JNUSTool.jar TITLEID TITLEKEY

Note: You should get a game that contains the latest revision of fw.img (r590), that's the only version supported by @FIX94's patches.
Here's some info you can use to verify that you have a good file:
Size: 1785497 bytes.
CRC32: E2F27E9B
MD5: 3CAF52A9A440EEE4F125A3AD22E305C8
SHA: A5A75EBF3164874830A1D5992495DE510AB3F74E

Now here's a list of some titles that contain the preferred fw.img (verified mostly by @fejich and @markehmus)
DONKEY KONG JUNGLE BEAT [VBXE01]
Kirby's Epic Yarn [VARE01]
Lost in Shadow [VA8E01]
Mario Strikers Charged [VBFE01]
Mario Super Sluggers [VBHE01]
Pandora's Tower [VAPE01]
PIKMIN 2 [VBTE01]
PIKMIN [VBUE01]
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition [VBDE01]
Resident Evil The Umbrella Chronicles [VBWE01]
Rhythm Heaven Fever [VAKE01]
Sin and Punishment Star Successor [VALE01]
Super Mario Galaxy [VBKJ01]
Super Paper Mario [VBBE01]
The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword [VANE01]
Trauma Team [VA6E01]
Wario Land Shake It [VBGE01]
WARIO WARE SMOOTH MOVES [VBVE01]





-----------------------------------------------

1. WiiScrubber
First setup WiiScrubber. Remember it needs the Wii common keys so run MakeKeyBin.exe first and do as it says.
Run it and open you iso. Right-click the UPDATE partition and select "Delete partition". Confirm.

Now click on the + box to expand the DATA partition, then expand partition.bin.
Right click tmd.bin, select "Extract" and save it.
Do the same with ticket.bin.

Rename the extracted ticket.bin to rvlt.tik
Rename the extracted tmd.bin to rvlt.tmd

Copy/move both files to the "code" folder of the Wii VC title.

Your iso is now ready and you can close WiiScrubber.


2. nfs2iso2nfs
Move your iso to the "content" folder of the Wii VC. Rename the file to "game.iso".
The content folder should contain only game.iso and the "assets" folder. Delete any nfs files that are still present.

Copy nfs2iso2nfs.exe to the content folder and run it. If everything is in place, it will begin the conversion process.
It should take around 15 minutes. Its console window will close when it's finished.
Once it ends you can delete your iso file and nfs2iso2nfs.exe (and wii_common_key.bin if it exists).
The content folder should contain only the nfs files and the "assets" folder.

Optional: You can enable Classic Controller emulation for playing using only the gamepad.
Open meta.xml (it's in the meta folder) in notepad.
Look for the line

<drc_use type="unsignedInt" length="4">1</drc_use>

replace it with

<drc_use type="unsignedInt" length="4">65537</drc_use>

and save the file.
Note that this will only work if the game supports the Classic Controller.
If it doesn't either it won't boot or you won't be able to do anything and only the gamepad's power button will work.
Here's a list of such games: https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/List_of_Wii_games_compatible_with_Classic_Controller


3.NUSpacker
The final part, building the installation files.
NUSpacker requires the Wii U common key. You should find it online and then open the file "encryptKeyWith" with
notepad and paste the key inside (hint: it begins with D7B0)

It's also a command line tool so you'll have to write down the commands, or simply create a new text file,
write the command inside, save it and change the extension from .txt to .bat

I recommend copying the Wii VC folder (that contains the other 3 folders, code, content and meta) to nuspacker's folder.
That will make everything easier.

The command works like this (replace with the names of your own folders)
If you folders have spaces in their names, enclose them in quotation marks, like "Just Dance".

java -jar nuspacker.jar -in GAME_FOLDER -out INSTALATION_FILES_FOLDER

Wiait until it finishes the process.
Now just copy the folder with the installation data to the "install" folder SD card, run a CFW and install it with WUP Installer GX2!

PS: If you make a nonfunctional game, remember to uninstall it before trying again.
If you install a fiunctional game over a broken installation, it will still appear as broken.

indeed, if you use wit, just put a "game.iso" into the files folder of the wii iso you are packing together and that one should then be started in nintendont when the option is selected.

So we have GC Virtual console on the Wii U.

that is correct, and it was my goal for this as well.

 

[wicksand420]

Hi fix94, the latest version of your dol from github is broken for me, it boots nintendont fine, but when i select a game i get a black screen with a system freeze, i thought that it might be the nintendont config, so i tried to delete it but i got a message that an error was preventing me from deleting it.

 

[huma_dawii]

Are you working on the Gamepad input issues? People asking for a dead zone or something like that.

Your SD is problably write locked.

 

[wicksand420]

no, its weird, i pulled it out and put it back into my computer, and deleted the config, now it works perfectly, so maybe anybody else having problems should delete the config first to see if it fixes the problems they are having.

You mean in the base directory of the disc, or somewhere else?

 

[markehmus]

pushed out yet another nintendont update.
-now wii vc internal game.iso files should actually boot up
-when starting wii vc with the gamepad off, it should allow player 1 to be taken by other controllers again instead of being taken by the disabled gamepad

quik link plz .. im kinda out of the loop since yesterday

 

[CeeDee]

So how exactly would I go about creating a Wii ISO with Nintendon't and a game.iso inside?
Also, do the Nintendon't boot prompts and such still appear before the game is ran? If so, if possible, I'd love a clean build suited for a more official looking GameCube VC without those, and where pressing Home can bring you back to the Wii U menu.

I want a guide for that to... Also an automated script would be awesome

 

[shinyquagsire23]

no usb and even hid usb devices do not work correctly , remenber the wii vc is already loading from usb/nand so it hijacks all usb code.

well i got an hid controller to work once for pure luck (ps3 controller) but every other time it would just freeze or not read them at all sadly.

I guess to expand on why USB might get weird, but the gamepad is also USB since the DRH chip handles all gamepad comms, hence why the gamepad's screen stays on and can actually be outputted to even when the OS is soft-rebooting. I think that device is also on a separate bus from the usual Wii-accessible USB devices but I have a feeling @FIX94 is aware of that.

thx

 

[cucholix]

Is it possible make wup for gc games already? :o

 

[wicksand420]

if you know how to use wit

 

[huma_dawii]

Yes, problem is... general user doesn't have a guide or something similar LOL xD

 

[cucholix]

Oh, I guess we should wait then

 

[DDTarZan]

I've been watching the progress of this thread and I'm extremely amazed at the progress and amount of effort everyone has put in to help reach this goal of having GameCube and Wii VC compatible to play right from the Gamepad. This is what I was ultimately hoping for in all of Wii U hacking. If I find some spare time in my coming days off to help test anything and help anyway I can. Good job to everyone.

 

[hoogachakka]

Could somebody perhaps create a step-by-step tutorial of exactly how to inject GCN games into Wii VC? I've been looking through many threads, and I haven't found a comprehensive answer on how to do this. What I've seen is that you need to use wit at some point, and put the game.iso in the "files" folder of a Wii ISO? (I couldn't find any "files" folder in any of my ISOs.) How would one go about doing this?

 

[FIX94]

to quickly give some info, get wit:
https://wit.wiimm.de/download.html
put your wii iso into its "bin" folder, get a command prompt in that "bin" folder as well (for example shift-right click -> open command prompt here on windows) and just type in:
wit extract your_wii.iso your_output_folder
in that output folder you fill find that "files" folder, just put your gamecube game.iso in it, go back to the command prompt and now type in:
wit copy your_output_folder your_new_wii.iso -o --raw
and thats it, from there just follow the first post of this guide.
oh yea and as base wii iso you should use a homebrew one that has some form of nintendont forwarder or wiixplorer in it of course.
