Hacking Beginner's guide: launch hacks, game backups and homebrews on WiiU & vWii

[jmrodrigues]

Follow this guide, ask a friend to translate it for you, you need to understand exactly how to do it, you could permanently damage vWii if not done correctly.

@Bortz help this poor guy out would you...?

 

[jmrodrigues]

Yes, it can be done with 5.5.1 IOS that's not the problem.
Before getting to install HBC, you need one of the compatible Wii games and execute the exploit for that game, only then you can install HBC.

Couldn't understand the translated tutorial? https://translate.google.com/transl.../threads/full-vwii-softmod.339899/&edit-text=

Things you must have before starting:

One of these wii games:

Lego Batman
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
LEGO Star Wars - The Complete Saga
LEGO Indiana Jones - The Original Adventure
Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's Wheelie Breakers
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

SD non-HC card (2Gb)

Wii remote (It can be the Motion Plus one).

Ok, you need this instead of Lego Batman files, just like in the tutorial:

I made a save. I need to prepare the USB flash drive and through the interpreter does not understand. after installation Homebrew channel I will continue to own

 

[jmrodrigues]

It does not work through USB flash drive, those files need to be on the SD Card.

Hello everyone, this place seems like the right place to make my question. I want to install the homebrew channel on my WiiU's Wii mode, however, I'm using a external hard drive to storage digital WiiU games. Now, my question: can I use the same hard drive to put the Wii games for the Homebrew? Or do I need to buy another one to use on it?

Thank you very much,

 

[jmrodrigues]

It will do. I use a FAT32 formatted flash drive, but i know it also works in NTFS.
In my case, wii-u mode keeps nagging for format the drive, so i use USTEALTH.

Create folder on root/wbfs and place the files there. CFGUSBLoader uses gameID on the iso name. Ex: D://wbfs/Super Mario Galaxy [RMGP01].wbfs

If you formatted your drive with your Wii U to put your Wii U games that you bought on there, you cannot use that drive for anything else. It formats the drive with its own proprietary file system. You will have to use a separate HDD formatted in FAT32 to use on the vwii side with back loader such as wiiflow or usb loader gx

Hi everyone. My wiiU is homebrewed but on lower firmware. If i want to update my wiiU to 5.3.2 with splatoon disc will I need to reinstall the homebrew on the vwii again?
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone and thanks to make this possible !

Now I'm a noob with the Wiiu (5.3.2 Mario 3D installed) I just received for the kids (last time I hacked a console was Xbox 1 and PS3).
I mainly want to play Wii backup up game from USB drive as well as old games.

I tried to follow carefully to follow the Definitive Guide at : https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-definitive-guide-to-wii-u-hacking.396828/
Up to : How can I access the hacks online?
* Anything I tried to install from : http://www.wiiubru.com/532 give me a black screen or the wiiu browser was stuck at some point. Most of the time I had to unplug the Wiiu and restart.
* I got 404 on http://exploit.foxmcloud.net/wiiu/
* At http://wiiu.epiclper.com/ I tried to install the multi-kernel and it said i have it already (yeah!) but then I tried the Homebrew and it redirect me to exploit.wiiubrew.net/hbl/payload532.html where I the wiiu get stuck again.
* Another 404 at http://wj44.bplaced.net/
* At http://fix94.no-ip.org/wiiu/ I got scared and stop it here.

Any lead to achieve to get it done right (again I'm just looking to play backup games on my 5.3.2) will be really appreciate.

Hi,

Seems all Wiiu forum are pretty quiet.

Using this tuto : http://digiex.net/guides-reviews/co...-homebrew-channel-hack-guide-5-3-2-5-4-a.html I was finally able to load loadiine from SD card. Still looking for a way to plug my USB (Wii) hard disk.

Good luck
