Hacking Wii U shuts down after starting a Gamecube Injection

[Willicious]

OK thanks, I'm going to give this one a try.

Hey all, I'm having this same issue now as well. I'm very new to this all however, so a lot of what I've read here is all Greek to me and I'm having a little trouble understanding it all.

What I'm most unsure about though is that everything was working fine up until just 20 minutes ago. I booted up Need For Speed: Most Wanted and noticed it hadn't saved my progress (again, I first noticed it this morning but just assumed I had forgotten to save), so I booted up Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance instead and had what the OP described happen. Now it seem that any GameCube game I try booting just shuts the Wii U down after a few seconds.

I did have another issue last night, however, where after I installed Rock Band 1, 2 and 3 my HDD started making a click sound and wouldn't load anything. I at first panicked until I unplugged everything, plugged it back and that seemed to have solved it. I'm guessing this might related somehow? TIA

1) Starting Wii U FTP Server
2) Starting Filezilla
3) Connect

bro, I am kind of late to this but, I hope anyone answers me with a solution, I´ve use tecomon and UWUCVI for gamecube game injections, but nothing seems to work, I get a black screen and nothing more, I waited for like 15 mins and nothing, I was testing things and now its not just a black screen, instead is a black screen and then my wii u turns off automatically, I follow every step I found in the video to make injections with tecomon and UWUCVI but still, nintendont is in my sd card and also the config file, it only has memory card emulation on at 59 block and auto video width, please help, I dont have wiimotes so I want to use my gamepad(and I am not even using my gamepad, I installed linux in my modded switch to be able to use it as a gamepad for wii u with Vanilla Wiiu) but yeah please helpppp

I was testing things

What exactly did you do? Maybe your vwii is bricked now and needs to be restored

Like chaging the ncofig files, trying dif injectors, seeing if the rom was wrong or smthing with it but none of that worked, but I fixed it buttt now it stoped working again for everything that has to do with vwii or gamecube I guess, I try to see if MK wii launches to see if my vwii is bricked, but when I try to open nintendont or any gamecube game my wii u stays on black screen now, the issue I had before was a corrupt save data, that fixed the issue before but now I have the black screen issue again and I cant fix it

And there is also a thing to know, now when I select the game I want to open and after it tells me the gamepad is compatible a new message pops up, thisss show up, that didnt show up before

Edit: It was nothing, I guess it just was that my tv wasnt turned on

MK wii worked flawlessly, U sure my vwii may be corrupted? Maybe it is something with nintendont, cuz it didnt even launch same as the other gamecube games, this problem appeared again when I installed 7 games(automodellista, Kirby Airride, Super Mario Strikers, Sonic Adventure 2, Soulcalibur II, Rayman Hoodlum Havoc, and Luigi's Mansion) since I installed those, the problem came back

Have you tested your gc and wii games with dolphin first? Make sure your nintendont files are up to date. What base do you use for the injects? One important thing: are the game dumps and console with the same region like pal or ntsc?

All wii games worked, the problem is with gc, nintendont is up to date and the base I use is .nkit, and yeah they r the same region (US) wii u is also US

I seem to have found the issue but, help me with smth, the games seems to start if I have both TV and Gamepad displaying the game, because if it doesnt use the TV the games refuse to load, can you help me to make them work even if the tv is off?

Do you have the plugin enhanced vwii? (called evwii) You can play around with the settings. Like display only on gamepad and such. Pretty neat

Was getting the black screen for every GC and Wii game -- sounds like your experience is a bit different

The only thing that resolved it was using a fork of Nintendont:
