Hi guys! As the title suggests, I'm kind of a noob when it comes to modding my Wii U and I'm getting an mClassic in the mail soon, so I'd like to be able to launch into the vWii menu in 480p without having to manually change the resolution every time. I heard that Boot2vWii allows me to do this, but after reading the Github page and some threads on this site I've realized I have no clue where to start. I've seen some "precompiled" versions floating around, but I have no idea how to install them. I appreciate any help y'all can provide!

Iirc, boo2vwii is for aroma, so make sure you install that. using a precompiled version would just entail putting the wuhb in /wiiu/apps on the root of the sd card. I'm on my phone for the rest of the night, so I can't explain compiling it yourself. It's about as easy a compile as possible as it's only like one file in the source code.

Ohh I see! Best case scenario I would love to be able to compile it myself to enter into the vWii menu (in 480p), but the only ones I've found are for specific channels (HBC, USBLoaderGX, etc.) I'll have to keep looking, thanks though!

Look up installing devkitPro. I think updating with pacman -Syu then pacman -S wiiu-dev will get you all you need. Think it uses wut tools, which is part of wiiu-dev. Then, just follow the instructions on github.

hey all, can someone tell me where the edits need to be? i'm guessing it's the dollar sign. thanks.


ifdef TID
CFLAGS += -DTID=$(TID)
endif

ifdef DISPLAY
CFLAGS += -DDISPLAY=$(DISPLAY)
endif

ifdef FORCERES
CFLAGS += -DFORCERES=$(FORCERES)

edit, my mistake, the options must actually be typed after the word make, in the command line, as outlined by the github

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
