[QUOTE="bendraynor, post: 10134485, member: 646827"] Hi all, I have picked up a couple of unhacked cheap WiiU systems from FB Marketplace on 5.5.5e firmware. Have previously homebrewed the Wii, PS Vita, 3DS & DS but that was roughly a decade ago so I'm super rusty and would appreciate some guidance as to what to do now :) My questions: - I'm planning to get a 1tb SSD to load my Wii U games. Is that a reasonable size? I just want to load maybe the top 50-100 games (no interest in getting all the obscure ones). - Some of my game discs have got worn out and most still work fine. Is there anywhere to download copies now the official Wii U shop is closed or can I still get them from nintendo (as I understand downloads still possible in some cases)? Does the WiiU equivalent of freeshop still work or is that impossible now? If this can't be answered no problem :) - I have all my Wii games backed up on a 1 TB HDD. I plan to keep using this rather than replace with an SSD. Is that sensible or would an SSD make a massive difference? My overall plan: - Get a 64GB SD card and use it to hack the Wii U with aroma AND tiramisu. Also add in the gamecube hack (I see there's a sticky which I haven't reviewed yet, so no questions about this for now!) - Load my WiiU games on a 1 TB SSD - Plug the separate 1 TB HDD holding my Wii games into the WiiU. Will these work automatically or do I need to reformat the Hard drive / games somehow to reflect that they are now on a WiiU? I still have the game discs so can rip them again if need be. Will keep reading the stickies; apologies if I've asked questions already answered but I couldn't see anything specifically explaining the best way to proceed now the eshop is closed (and RIP the eshop :'( ) Thanks!! :) [/QUOTE]
