As I understand it (and I don't understand it that well), you need to install through a wad manager like is included in USBLGX anyways, though it will still show up as a channel, and you want to install it to an emunand since it's at least theoretically safer for the Wii long-term, and might? let you install more things than the Wii has memory for internally.

I only installed one wad though, so I don't really remember. It wasn't super difficult but it wasn't as simple as anything else was in the hacking.

I’m pretty sure I just went into the SD manager on the Wii and chose “install”. I didn’t use emuNAND, so I’m limited to system memory, but you can put WAD channels back onto the SD card whenever you want

Just use Nintendont. Given that you’ll almost never hit the start button (+ button) in a GC game, closing the game will rarely happen. Nintendont has more useful cheats and hacks, like y axis inverts and quality of life stuff.

If you install nintendont on the wii partition of the wii u, you can also use the wii u pro controller which is nice. Presumably you can also use those gamecube style controllers they made when smash came out, but I never got one of those.

Only if you do some wacky thing where you install the game as a "channel" on the WiiU home screen. Unfortunately you cannot use the gamepad buttons otherwise. (And the WiiU has that stupid 300 title limit so you don't really want to fill it up with 170 Gamecube games).

Yep, DSi XL with a 32gb SD card and HiyaCFW is the bee's knees.

You can run pretty much every GBA, DS, and DSiWare game on one, all natively with no emulation. And everything looks incredible because they all play on their original resolution, unlike the 3DS. It's very awesome to see GBA games running at their native resolution but on a huge IPS screen.

The only complaint is the DSi/DSiXL is like the Wii in that 32gb is the max SD card it can support. So you can't have the ENTIRE DS library on it but you can have the best ones, as well as the full DSiWare and GBA ROM sets.

Edit: also TwilightMenu/NDSBootstrap/GBArunner2 is still being updated regularly. Hell, there was an update just three days ago!

You youngsters don't know how good you have it. In my day you had to have Flipnote studio pre-installed to hack your DSi. And you had to copy and paste an image 133 times before it worked! :corsair:

Is it a hard limit or is it just weirdness about FAT32 formatting? There's definitely an 128gb SD card in my Wii.

As someone who never owned a DSi, none of the DSiWare games looked appealing to me. Hell, few DS games do, but I never liked the look of early 3D even when it was new.

Eh, I think GBARunner2's neat but I'm not sure I'm convinced its a great way to play GBA. I tried Pokemon LeafGreen on it on my DSi XL and it was kind of a stuttery mess.

On the topic of Twilight Menu though, does the latest version still have weird compatibility issues with TWL carts? I can boot my copies of Pokemon Black or Black 2 like, once in a blue moon, but its super finnicky getting them to even get to that point.

It's probably like the old IOS revisions of the Wii where it won't read it. Theoretically a firmware update could have enabled it, but..

If it can read an SDHC card, it should be able to read an SDXC card formatted to FAT32. The difference between SD/SDHC/SDXC is generally disk format (FAT/FAT32/exFAT respectively) meaning that 4GB is the straight up limit on SD, but SDHC is only a software imposed limit of 32GB for whatever reason that dumb limit was introduced for the FAT32 formatting software.

Delisting from digital stores usually just means you can't buy the game anymore, but anyone who already bought it can still re-download it forever

Make sure you dump any title updates or DLC separately. (though some games have their updates merged into the base game)

Words cannot describe what a disaster the pie was.
I have a question.


I have a launch day OG Switch that’s running the latest firmware I think it’s 11.0.1.

I’ve increasingly been getting the hankering to mod it at first simply because I love playing the SNES games on it that come with Nintendo Switch Online but I’m getting frustrated at the glacial pace Nintendo is putting new games out on it. I want to play Earthbound and FFVI on my Switch. And maybe dip into some GBA and possibly some PS1/PSP games as well.

I’m not interested in doing anything else. I’d rather not mess up the firmware on the Switch. I think there was a way to just run emulators and some software on a SD card without messing much with the actual Switch.

I really don’t want my Nintendo account banned either.

What direction should I be looking? Any tips / guides?

The safest way to do that is to keep a separate sd card to boot into lakka. Keeps everything completely separate, as far as Nintendo knows you just have your switch turned off whenever you're in linux mode

I switched over to stock OS to try monster hunter demo with friends and it required an update.

After the update I was receiving an error when booting to cfw. Some frantic googling later and I just had to take game card out of the slot. Apparently the latest Switch update also updates the card slot.

Is getting a mini SNES an affordable option? That might be better for what you're looking to do. You'd want a USB thumb drive and this octopus-looking style of USB hub to go with it for this purpose.

I'm currently installing a bunch of WiiWare WADs to my Wii and I'm using of course a WAD installer in Homebrew Channel to do it. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there is a way in any of these WAD managers to tell it to install to the SD card. It automatically chooses the Wii internal memory.

This is a bit of a problem because I can only get through like three WADs before getting error messages that relate to the system memory being full. This means even though I have like 100 titles that I want to install, I have to install like three, then return to the Wii system menu, choose the "move to SD" option for each one of them, and then go back to the WAD manager. I anticipate this will take me roughly 3 days to complete.

Is there a WAD manager out there that will let you install WADs to the SD card instead of the internal memory? I have like three different ones in Homebrew Channel and don't see that option on any of them.

Edit: or should I just be doing the emunand thing in USB Loader GX? Does that method still only have like 80% compatibility?
