Hi guys, new here and in the need of some help
As a little background, back in maybe 2018-2019 I bought a WiiU so that my younger cousins could play games while visiting me. Changed DNS to stop it from updating, installed ‘things’ in it like Haxchi and probably others to play Wii or GameCube games (WiiUUSBHelper and WUP Installer). A year later COVID happened and as they couldn’t come home, I put it in a box and forgot that I even had that console. Found it yesterday and would like to bring it up to date to what 2023 has to offer but have no idea where to start because I’m afraid I might brick it.
Wii U status is as it follows:
Would be more than grateful if someone could help me with how to proceed as I don’t remember a thing of what I did back in those years -probably what I just wrote above makes no sense, so yeah i'm THAT lost-. I’m interested in playing WiiU, Wii and maybe some GameCube games, and update to whatever new is available so that it works and plays better even if it takes me more time to set everything up correctly. Other than that it is completely unknown to me what else you can do nowadays.
Forgive my crappy english
Love from CL

Wii U status is as it follows:
- Haxchi installed
- Homebrew Launcher 1.4v by Dimok
- 5.5.2 U
- Have some games in an HDD that can be played with no problems if I run Haxchi beforehand
- Has an SD card but no idea what’s in it, how to check it and if it even matters to do that.
