I have a wii u but I never modded it since I was always too scared to do it. I have been thinking about modding it in the last couple of weeks though. I have modded my 3ds a few months ago and it is just amazing! I'm still a little scared about modding my wii u but I feel way more confident now Update: I finally modded my Wii U after like 5 months :) It worked without any problems and I am kinda proud of myself ngl But also thank you to everyone that encouraged me to mod my Wii U :)
I had this same problem, but modding the wii u pays off very much. backing up the wii u to avoid bricking is a part of the homebrew installation process, and installation is just moving files onto an SD card of your choice and hitting the A button on the gamepad. If you feel on edge, you should do it.
Same here, but it was actually really easy! People always warn you of Bricks but they're pretty rare actually. Especially if you do everything like you are supposed to be doing it. Start with Tiramisu and if you feel comfortable, switch to Aroma. It has way more capabilities
i modded my wii u in 2020 during the pandemic. it's kinda sad how the wii u has barely any engaging homebrew while the wii has media players, ports and even original games. in any case, good video, keep up the good work
i bought a wii u and discoverd it was unessesary. it can do less things then the original wii. only benefit is it can play wii u games. but the modding is 90% to the viritual wii.
@@JanMurmansimo its worth having a modded wii u over just a modded wii, not just because of the games that the wii u has to offer but because the gamepad can be used as its own screen for a plethora of games and makes DS/GBA games genuinely playable through virtual console roms
It's actually one of the best Wii U HB videos I've watched. Although I have many of the plugins/apps mentioned here already installed on my Wii U (for snes I have a classic mini) THIS VIDEO IS A FKING MASTERPIECE
There are other homebrew ports to Wii U like Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time 3D. Also, Nintendont is compatible with many control options including the gamecube adapter. Another noteworthy Wii U homebrew is Bloopair which allows you to connect other controllers to the Wii U. Last but not least: the advantage of Wii "Wii U home screen installs" over the vWii is that the installed wii apps can use the gamepad as "pro controller". The vWii needs a wii mote to be used.
If I wanted to play a wii game with the wiiu pro controller or the game pad (game supports classic controller and Gamecube controller) would this work?
@@LairofSkulls You can play Wii VC Injects with the gamepad if the game supports the pro controller (or gamecube with nintendont). The Wii U Pro controller doesn't work tho. At least not with normal Wii VC injects
It’s too bad the Wii U homebrew community isn’t very big. It seems like the perfect device for homebrew and emulation. I really hope more crazy bullshit comes out for this console like the 3ds and Wii. Rn it looks like the only big project in the works is pretendo really.
This is the first I’ve heard about the NAND flash issue. I did have all my save data wiped cause I didn’t use it for a while, but dang I gotta look into that other issue
I modded my wii u last month because of the online shutdown for nintendo network so I can use pretendo and I don't regret it even though the only mod I have is mario kart generations for mario kart 8
I modded my Wii U a couple months ago and recently got the VC injector to play GameCube games. Of course I also have Nintendont. That's one downside to the Wii U. It should have had GameCube games for the Wii U Virtual Console and all the more reason because it had the controller adapter which unfortunately was only compatible with Smash 4.
Hey awesome dude, I know this videos old, so you might not see this, but do you have any idea how to make SDCaffiine work? I have all the files, I’m trying to install a theme. And Funkyscott’s tutorial has helped me up until the point where it’s meant to boot on home screen. Help pls :(
so ik this videos old but i am looking into homebrewing my wii u for pretendo (and more stuff). i am literally brand new to this sorts and know NOTHING is there any sorts of guides or indepth explainations to get into homebrewing cus i know nothing in the slightest 😭😭

Is there anyone who does this as a side gig? I'd pay a reasonable price to have this done on my machine. I've found a few doing Wii, but nothing for Wii U.
The Wii and Wii U do NOT go for "about the same price." You can find a working Wii dirt cheap. You can't even get the Wii U tablet that cheap. Also if you get a quality Wii2HDMI adapter (like the Mayflash) or use the Nintendo OEM component cables, the Wii and GameCube games will look BETTER than via vWii on your HDMI Wii U. Don't even argue that point. It's been proven many times over, including here on TH-cam. Only mess with a Wii U if you also want to play Wii U games. All six remaining exclusives that is. And only if you don't want to run them on CEMU.
I'm planning on modding my Wii U soon either this year or next year, but there's one problem... I don't own a computer and a 32 or 128GB SD card, or even a Flash Drive (even though I have one, but I mostly use it for PS2 Free McBoot. 😅), or a HDD external hard drive (also have that too, but I use it for my PS5 to stores some more PS4 games 😂). 🙃
For any wanting to play StarFox Zero listen carefully, don't play the main story first. Go to training mode and spend about two hours learning the controls, because the motion controls are kinda complicated. There's a minus button that swap screens and you have the ability to turn the motion controls on or off in the pause menu. It's easier to shoot everyone in first person mode, where as all ranged mode is easier for avoiding enemies.
I actually found out that in Nintendont you can use the analog trigger on the gamepad by pressing L and ZR at the same time and it will act like the analog trigger getting pushed

Took me like 10 minutes! It's easy as 1, 2, 3! Easy peasy lemon squeezy, a piece of cake! But yeah, take your time, and don't rush!
Woo my video made it into the intro ;) Great video!!

Asking because this is a recent comment, any clue how to activate SDCaffine upon boot?
@@2_many_alts in aroma you just download the plugin, I don't know how to do it in tiramisu unfortunately
I actually need this since I recently fully homebrewed my wii u(added aroma) but didn't know what to get for it.

The ONE™️ sequel we really did need.
cgtp had a wii u port? also no sonic 3 wii port is wild
Thats because there is no decompiled version of the retro engine portion of sonic 3 yet.
Theoretically a 3air port could be done but Im not sure if limitations would allow it
Would love a new video with how the homebrew scene has evolved since Aroma
Can’t believe you didn’t bring up Wuphax it’s practically essential for the Wii U experience.
This is the first I’ve heard about the NAND flash issue. I did have all my save data wiped cause I didn’t use it for a while, but dang I gotta look into that other issue
Amazing video, please keep making these!
I'm pretty sure Wiis go for a good bit cheaper than Wii Us, but the price is well worth it.
I modded my wii u last month because of the online shutdown for nintendo network so I can use pretendo and I don't regret it even though the only mod I have is mario kart generations for mario kart 8
also a game port you missed is GTA Vice City, it plays well i have tried it
and GTA 3
@@kaisermapping1910GTA3 is legit the first game that comes up in the “Unofficial Ports” section lmfao
NUSpli 4ever in ma heart :)
I prefer Retroarch for older platforms because of the larger platform list, and not taking up icons on the wii u menu.
Wait super do you not use aroma?
I thought that was still in beta. 😭

Great video. I bought a Wii U in 2021. I modded and is really good. But, Wii U can’t do 240p for crt. Wii can, and that’s stupid.
Why would you want to wire up a modern console to a 240p crt?
They should port all wii homebrew to WiiU
Jokes on you, it has been ported
Is there any WiiU game emulators?

This video’s 6 months old bro. And emulating Wii U games sucks as much as emulating the DS does.
I'm planning on modding my Wii U soon either this year or next year, but there's one problem... I don't own a computer and a 32 or 128GB SD card, or even a Flash Drive (even though I have one, but I mostly use it for PS2 Free McBoot. 😅), or a HDD external hard drive (also have that too, but I use it for my PS5 to stores some more PS4 games 😂). 🙃
Thank you for shitting on retroarch finally someone else hates it
What is a WiiU?
Good question.
@@SuperAwesomeGuy its like super fast wii
@@newogame1 a more powerful wii
@@newogame1 OK I own one that is a lie
Uh, wow. Putting bios files into the system folder is too complex for you? Yeah I guess RetroArch isn't for you then.
Credibility is questionable.. .

The jailbreak scene for wii u is small compared to switch but im glad it exists
I actually found out that in Nintendont you can use the analog trigger on the gamepad by pressing L and ZR at the same time and it will act like the analog trigger getting pushed
At this point, I’m tired of calling it the Wii U, I’m just gonna say Wii Ultra or Ultimate, cause when I see that “U” I think of Ultra or Ultimate.
