Only way to brick with the wii u really is either deleting some system file with a FTP or if you install coldboot haxchi then delete the DS game

Does anyone know what controllers are supported on the Wii U version of Retroarch. It would kick rear end if I could connect my Switch NES and SNES controllers.

Fair enough! Maybe I'll look into what's worth homebrewing a WiiU for, then. My vWii is hacked, which was pretty trivial since I just used Smash Stack. Was pretty fun backing up my Wii, doing a system transfer, then restoring the backup. Then hacking the vWii.

Do you need a 32GB SD card to do CBHX? I know the risks but I still want to do it since it takes so long to boot up the Wii U, then the Homebrew Channel and then CFW. Really makes me realize how snail slow the Wii U OS is compared to Switch.Muk Dumpster posted:Set up haxchi before they close down the eshop if they haven't already They haven’t.

Mailer posted:This is exactly what it is. In a world where it's impossible to execute arbitrary code in the 3DS then serving games out of a CDN would be cheap and easy - no key, no game. Nintendo is just many years behind the curve on this stuff. The system of needing a titlekey worked for years too (2011-2016). It wasn't until someone in the hacking scene idly wondered why the 3ds pirates bothered sending around multi-GB .CIAs when they could just download the game from Nintendo's CDN and not need to bother hosting huge illicit files that others picked up the idea and figured out how to do that and install keys from any source to decrypt the CDN downloads. Then it took about two years for Nintendo to do something about it. Though to be fair that required Nintendo to add authentication to CDN requests and add authentication to the requests the 3ds sent, reworking the whole CDN download process and requiring a 3ds firmware update, which is a fairly major project to take on 5+ years into the life of a system. Also in response nearly every network query made by the Switch needs to be signed by the individual console and/or Nintendo account, so simply going online with a pirated switch game will get your switch flagged for a ban (that will likely go through 1-2 weeks later).

Is Retroarch recommended for NES and SNES on Wii U over injects? I remember the official emulators being a bit poo poo on Wii U, especially NES. GBA and TG16 have great emulation though.

Do I need anything other than a big rear end SD card for a fully featured homebrewed Wii? It's looking like no, but info is mixed, some things are saying USB is required, others no.

Techncially no but I'm not sure what the actual literal cap is on the Wii U grokking SD cards is, and for most people it makes more sense to have a cheaper 32-64GB SD card with powered external multi-TB drive, than spending the same amount of money on a measily 400-500GB SD card Mine only uses an SD card but literally all I use it for right now is OOT rando so A. I'm not exactly running against the inherent storage limits of Wii U game ISOs, and B. I don't know if you'd call that "fully featured"

Nah, regular-rear end Wii, and by fully featured I mean play Wii and GameCube backups. I can get a 128gb SD card from Microcenter for $15. It's not gonna will any $/Gb awards but realistically it'll hold anything I'm going play on this and stays nice and compact.

The maximum SD card size the wii can read natively is 32 gigs, and that was patched in years later, so early games that read off the SD don't recognize anything bigger than 2 gigs. edit: Apparently pretty much anything works for backups these days, just as long as it's reformatted to fat32 flavor.flv fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Jul 28, 2020 |

Thankfully same advice basically applies across the board, although with the caveat now that I think about it that your SD card should be Fat32, Fat32 caps at 4G files maximum, and Wii ISOs are probably 4.2G? so that might be where the "requirement" comes from. I think there's a tool to split ISOs into a chunked format that's still readable, but you might want to verify that before comitting to it if playing Wii ISOs is the plan GC isos are like 1.6G so it's a non issue there

Perfect dpad and zero drift after almost 8 years. I had the same issue, Wii U was basically unplayable due to constant interference in the communication with the gamepad. It uses channel 36 which absolutely everyone and their grandma does these days for wifi. Switched my own network to use the 80MHz frequency starting from channel 52 so there's no overlap, now it's stable 99% of the time, so if it's your own radio jamming it you might want to switch frequencies.

Apparently it does switch frequencies at will but I've only personally seen mine in the bottom frequencies overlapping with absolutely everything else, so its detection seems to be really lovely. I'm pretty sure the thing will never use the DFS channels though.

I think there's a tool to split ISOs into a chunked format that's still readable, but you might want to verify that before comitting to it if playing Wii ISOs is the plan In my case, I have my USB device partitioned so that the first partition is FAT32 and has a pile of ROMs and my GC backups for Nintendont. It's also large enough that I can use CleanRip to dump Wii discs to it, although I haven't done that in quite a long time either. The second partition is a WBFS partition which various tools (Wii Backup Manager, Wiimms ISO Tools) can write to, and USB loaders (using d2x cIOS) can locate Wii backups there. Wii disc images are kind of painful since the entire disc is encrypted including the unused space, which leads to large image sizes. However, when the aforementioned tools write to WBFS they write the images in a sparse format with the unused blocks stripped out, saving considerable space. The other popular option is to have one giant FAT32 partition on your USB device and store Wii images converted to WBFS files. In this case, each WBFS file is a whole filesystem with a single disc image. The cIOS supports fragmented WBFS files to get around the 4 GB image limit. One benefit to storing things this way is that you can use the WBFS files directly in Dolphin, although that's not preferred because the Dolphin folks don't like WBFS. Personally, for Dophin, I just use Wimms to convert the Wii disc images to a stripped raw image that gets stored as a sparse file on my computer, and if I needed to copy it over to my Wii USB would just use Wimms again to write it out to WBFS.
