Homebrew Any way to have an icon on the Wii U menu launch a specific game through WiiFlow or ULGX?

I don't mean a fowarder that just launches the app. I mean I click the icon, and it just loads that specific game without me doing anything else. Just like how native Wii U games it doesn't make you go through a whole different menu. And there is a different icon for each game (obviously). I looked everywhere and all I can find is fowarders to just the loader. Not for a specific game.

possibly, if you have that forwarder on your vwii, then use boot2vwii to that specific forwarder. I don't know what the title id might be though, but you'll have to know to use boot2vwii.

I just thought of an easier way. use teconmoon's vc creator for the wii game you want.

That's amazing. Gonna try it now to see if it works. But it seems like it's Windows only so it may not work with Wine.

Ok so what does it mean by "Failed to download base files using JNUStool, conversion will not continue"

I mean i understand the "conversion will not continue" part.

maybe it's that you're on linux? I dunno. I haven't used that tool in years. JNUSTool does require java though.

So in a Windows VM I used UWUVCI (i like the UwU part) and it works fine. It doesn't work through Wine but I had a VM set up for scenarios like these.

I figured in that event you'd need a linux version. is it working correctly now?

So far all I've tried is Wii Sports but it works fine and has my save data. I'll try my other 3 games I have and see if those work.
