Wii U system update available

[Pong20302000]

Any tutorial for homebrew channel on vwii ? When Wii U turn off and turn on.. You will start it all over Or it will be like Wii permanently ?

It's permanent, basically same a Wii, but the files needed different and can only be done with a Game Save hack currently.

yes the Homebrew channel still working fine in 3.0.0

So they didn't remove anything? nice they obviously don't care much then, but it's still a mystery why they go out life and limb to block ds flashcarts almost every update on the 3ds though.

For once, actual "improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience".

yeah, unlike stupid sony, at least nintendo are honest about what has changed in their updates and they actually do something too.

Conspiracy: Nintendo gave up on DS games and decided to buy some of the biggest businesses in flashcart manufacturing, now they're trying to force people into buying their DSTwo's.

Thank you kindly.

I have to do one of this retail disc all over again like I did for my Wii before ? @_@

Will it allow me to play Game Cube from backup disc like it did on Wii ?

Check out this thread to answer your questions. http://gbatemp.net/threads/hacking-the-wiiu-a-simple-progress-guide.338900/

On topic: I definitely see a major improvement after the update.

Thanks.. Last question before back on topic:

What if I dont have one of the exploit ? Can't I just transfer from my original Wii to do that ? Thanks.

 

[hundshamer]

I don't think it's possible.

 

[spotanjo3]

Alright. Thanks. No further question. Cheers.

Love this update. Sped up loading all around. Monster Hunter used to take 15 seconds to load, now it takes 5. Used to take 25 seconds to quite, now it takes 10. Love the speed of it. And the overscan adjustments helped my friend out immensely. Nintendo's on the right track getting the Wii U up to speed in functionality.

You can now hold down the power button on the Wii U itself to power down the system. I figured this out when I tried to load Wii Mode while I had an active download. I think the system was confused and was trying to kick in to stand-by mode and load Wiimode at the same time, and it just froze. So I tried to hold the power button down and sure enough it worked.

Does this update finally give us the ability to power down the gamepad while leaving the Wii-u on? Currently we only have the option to turn off the gamepad display, which doesn't really help with Netflix (Playback pauses when you open the home menu to turn off the display, in order to un-pause you need the display). The only workaround I've found is to walk the gamepad out of range and turn it off.
Even for a game like NSMBu, even though I'm playing with the Wiimote, the gamepad is on. I can turn off the display, but it's still on.

Uh... I always pushed the power button to shut the console off. Unless your talking about while in WiiM... nevermind because I always did that. I think you were just having problems.

Jesus, I agree with emigre, all you do is bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch whine bitch bitch bitch bitch. Shut up already will ya>

No, you can't play Game Cube, it doesn't have the GC controller or memory card ports .

I don't think you need Scooby Doo and the gang on the case to realize they block flashcarts because they're fucking flashcarts.

 

[weavile001]

ok, it finished.
I noticed about 3 seconds less to open most apps

No, you can't play Game Cube, it doesn't have the GC controller or memory card ports .

what about the virtual console?
there are GC games coming for download

 

[Maxternal]

Okay, maybe, but he was asking about playing it from a backup disk.

Although it's never actually been confirmed that there will be any GC VC I'd say they'd do it in a Devolution style virtual machine which WOULD allow them to use other controls and other forms of saving. If not, tueidj still shows interest in making Devolution work for vWii publicly but it still hasn't happened yet either.

I guess a more complete answer would be something more like "Not right now but maybe later"

Yeah, good luck with that. Kinda hard to have Devolution on vWii if tueidj expects people to verify their game discs.

looks like the wiiu has a RROD : the read of death ROD
Since the update lego city is constantly freezing or I get the code 150-1051 disc can't be read errors. It just did this twice in a row so I can't even play now

I'm pretty sure the point that @jalaneme was making, was that it seems strange that Nintendo would focus on blocking flashcarts on the 3DS, whilst not apparently making any effort to block Wii mode exploits on the WiiU

It shouldn't be too difficult, the hardware is there, if Sony can emulate PS2 games on PS3 via 100% software emulation with the blueooth enabled for the controllers, I'm pretty sure Nintendo can get GC games running with gamepad and WiiMote attachments with the 2GB of RAM.
