You cannot do that yet. A lot more has to happen in order to come even close to that task you want.

First we need Linux-full support. Currently we still have basic alpha/beta. Which is...well not good enough since we don´t have a suitable GPU-driver. So that means performance isn´t working for running games! However Linux has allready been optimized a bit and i heard newest Linux LTS on WiiU now has access to OTP. Which before on older Linux we didn´t have!

However it´s all happening step by step. Give it time. Linux-support is now being optimized.

And who knows, if with coming new Homebrew-environment and the new Fail-ST exploit (and especially access to coldboot) we might soon be able to fully run Linux?

However it would still be limited to software-rendering only.

That means it could still be not good enough to emulate something on top of running Linux.

The problem of WiiU GPU is. It´s a non-custom GPU. You cannot use a standard-driver from some PC or something like that.

You either find the right drivers in the OS itself (hidden somewhere there) and extract it from there!

Or you have to write custom drivers on your own.

But yes. A lot can be done.

And it will be done.


I´m working on customizing the OS to make it a lot more speedy.

However i also will need Fail-ST-access to get that working.

Since currently any change to the exe-files you do, or just to other files will kill your WiiUs-access to that game/application. So that WiiU will then refuse to execute that application. And it can even brick in certain situations. So it´s not advisable to execute stuff on WiiU, when all protections are enabled.

See?

The WiiU is looking directly at what can be executed and what shall not be execuated.

But once Fail ST is fully running and it`s out to the public...

My trick in making the WiiU´s OS working 5 or 10x faster (depending on the method) will work.

But without an exploit/Fail ST it will not work.



And thus so far we all have to wait dude.

You have to be patient. Good things come to those who wait patiently, remember?

Maybe in another year we might have overcome that hurdle...

But for now?

No dude. For now a lot of work has still to be done.


Just keep coming back in 3 or 6 months and we`ll tell you who it´s going. It`s not good for your own, to look each month here and then be disappointed that your function doesn´t work yet.

Not to be rude but forget about the idea. Theoretically you cannot emulate a powerful system on a weaker system. Can you emulate PS2 on PS1?

FailST is already public, see https://maschell.github.io/homebrew/2020/12/02/failst.html. And there is also an unofficial installer.
So why don't you just show us your "5 - 10x speed improvements using FailST"?
FailST won't give us any more permissions we didn't already have by patching the IOSU or editing the cos.xml of a channel.

TheChosen is a pathological liar who claims to be capable of all of these amazing things, yet can't even write a simple "Hello World" program. Check his posting history for more info.
