Is there a tutorial to put photo channel on my vwii cause I don’t want to brick it like an idiot…
Step one: Ensure your vWii is hacked and has The Homebrew Channel (or HBC for short) installed. This typically requires the Wii U as a whole to be hacked and have CFW installed, which if anything is even better.
Step two: Obtain a WAD of the Photo Channel, then place it on your SD card. You'll also want something like WiiModLite to install it.
Step three: Open HBC from the Wii Menu, launch a WAD manager (like WiiModLite) and install the Photo Channel wad. Congrats!

If you have trouble with any part of what I said, feel free to let me know here and I'll try my best to help.
Hello, I was trying the same things as op, but whenever I try to install it, it says I need IOS61, do you know how to install it or if it's even possible? Thanks in advance! :yayu:

Odd... None of those would have touched IOS 61, so it seems like it's just. Missing somehow? I'll have to look into this further, it's been a while since I've messed about with vWii stuff
Thx, just found this thread which is kinda similar (instead of Photo Channel it's Mother 3) and maybe it can help a bit, but the solution was using emulators, which doesn't work in this case.

I did a syscheck and found out there is no IOS61 installed, not even a stub. so I guess the solution is to install IOS61 via a wad. But idk if it's safe, bcuz when I looked at the wiki, saw that there is no vWii IOS61 version unlike other IOSses. So I think the safest option is to try installing other Photo Channel versions, I'll try that tomorrow and come back with results.

EDIT: it seems like someone made a modified version of Photo Channel 1.1 that works on the vWii, if anyone wants it, the Google Drive link is here: Photo Channel 1.1 vWii

    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.

    FNF was born from Game Jams
