Hello lovely people. Just signed up to the forum to ask a very specific question as it seems to be the best around for this type of thing. Right, go easy on me, very new to all this console modding....
I've managed to hack my original wii and got it set up just as I want for now. Currently just got one usb hard drive plugged in with some of my Wii and gamecube collection now on there, USB loader GX, Nintendont etc all working lovely, stuff forwarded to the home screen that I want.
I've also managed to pick up a used Wii U with Mario Kart 8 and I really want some Zelda HD remaster goodness. Short question then is as the title - Can I have the Wii U in one room, the Wii in another room and 'share' the Wii and Gamecube games + SAVES across both systems???
Longer ramble and why - I'm setting up a retro gaming room with a few systems. In this room among other consoles will be the original (now modded) Wii hooked up via component to an OSSC and to a fairly decent, 1080p TV. This Wii will be used to play Wii and Gamecube games on
In the other room (lounge) will be the Wii U, along with PS4pro connected up to a lovely LG 4k oled. The Wii U (once I learn how to hack/ mod this one too) will be used for Wii U games, obviously, AND I want to be able to play Wii and Gamecube games on this too, should the mood take me.
Obviously I don't want 2 sets of games running with different save files etc. So, taking into account all this gubbins, will it be possible to have Wii and Gamecube games (I don't have a huge amount so vast storage isn't super important) installed on a big SD card and 'hot swap' this card between the Wii and the Wii U and have save game data intact? Or is there some other way to do it? Or is it just not possible? Hope this makes sense.....
