Two tips...

- Don't neglect to back up your Wii U NAND and store the backup somewhere safe.

- Never install a second instance of the DS game you put Haxchi on, or you'll brick.

...and a question (to anyone who knows):

Is there a way to safely compress these 32GB Wii U NAND backups, or should I store them uncompressed?
I'm guessing the latter is best, but 32GB is a big chunk of data...

Get an sd card big enough to hold yr retroarch roms
Use a 2Tb wiiu drive for wiiu stuff partitioned by user to exceed 300 title limit
Use an ustealth 8Tb drive to hold everything else on vwii side
welcome to yr ultimate setup

yo whats a ustealth, slang or what I think I get that like keeping stealthy it with the vwii :) and I know you have to convert GPT to MBR.. but what Usb HDD will work with the wii and I need a 4tb with 32 clusters for my wii not vwii but wii.

Oh yeah I think I have figured out the WII U since this post

Liar liar, pants on fire
Why would you think I am lying? Use a tool to format the SD card in FAT32 format and it works nicely.

It is overkill because you fill up the 300 slots on the 3DS menu somewhere between a 128GB and 256GB SD card.

But it does work.
