But does it mess with your regular games and saves? i.e. can you still use it like a regular Wii and play games and access your prior save files? Or does it nuke everything and you have to start over and emulate everything? Trying to decide if I need to buy a spare Wii U just for emulation as I'd like to preserve my original.
@colt5189 There is an option to backup all your files and saves. It takes a very long time though. Mine took about 2hrs if I recall correctly. Not a bad idea to buy a used one as a secondary unit though.
Bro woke up a chose violence. Man wanted to pick a fight with Nintendo this week 😂 Edit: if your seeing this in the future let me know what games you got for the wiiU
Im SOOO glad i learned how to do this last year, i would have never experienced Devils Third, the Wii, or honestly even the Gamecube libraries... plus how cool is it to play every nintendo previous nintendo console on one device! Great video RGT 👏
I rehacked my wii u since mine was stuck on version 5.5.1, and wow, wii u modding has progressed a lot since then. I could never finish my playthrough of Xenoblade X after my gamepad started drifting, but now i can using a ps4 controller thanks to Aroma. You also get access to wii modding as well. Wii u is definitely worth it with how much you can do with it now.
Soft modded Wii U was my primary emulation device on my big screen, until Xbox One/Series in dev mode. I was blown away how well it played PS1 and arcade games in Retroarch.
Our hacked WiiU got us through COVID like a champ. All the old NES, SNES and cube games in crispy HD were great. I think the WiiU might be one of the best consoles that Nintendo abandoned.
I bought my Wii u because of your videos since 2019 after buying my Nintendo switch in 2018, and it became the best console to me because I bought a lot of games on it and it has backward compatible with almost every Nintendo console, for me, that's a great deal since my first Nintendo console is Nintendo switch after PS1(I didn't play video games many years ) imagine the first game I played after PS1 era was The legend of Zelda breath of the wild and I was 19 years ago back then. Thank you so much.
The best part of a Wii U is that it can can play almost the entire Nintendo system library either VC injections - Nintendo DS, SNES, NES, Gamecube, Wii basically natively via injections. Its a Nintendo history book. The Pretendo people restoring the social network side of things and Wii U games are just icing on the cake...but doesn't hurt that it has some of the best Switch games too. With all that in perspective Retroarch is kind of 2nd fiddle... because you can use Retroarch on nearly any modern device.... while the other functionality is unique to the Wii U
If you want to emulate, at this point, you're better off just buying an emulation dedicated system IMO Hacking a wii u is all well and good, but if the goal is to play retro games, there's better ways to do it nowadays
I modded my WiiU with Mocha back in 2016 lol. Had GameCube running on it for almost 8yrs. So many great things opened for that mod. The new tiramisu was pretty dope too. I just create my own injection files for my retro games to put them on the main menu as if they were downloaded from eShop so I don't have to go into any applications to boot them
Aroma is the *in development* successor to tiramisu. The nice thing is that you can install both and switch between them. My system is dual booted with both. Aroma will eventually completely replace tiramisu. It's actually made by the same person. But for now, you need tiramisu for retroarch. There's no way around that at the moment.
I recently hacked my Wii U and I don't condone doing it when the systems are still alive (like Switch), but I love being able to play Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 online, use Miiverse again (in a very limited capacity), and play all of the WIi and Wii U games I never got to play or couldn't and still can't afford. Next up will be adding Gamecube games. I have to buy a classic controller pro first.
My son always wants to play the wiiU because we have a lot of store purchases on it that Nintendo screwed their customers over on when the switch came out.
You can have Aroma and Tiramisu installed at the same time. There's homebrew apps that will let you switch between them whenever you want to. You can also install all the retro emulators to the Wii side instead of the WiiU and get things working that way.
I just wanted to comment that I am probably o s of the few who still dedicate a hdmi port to my Wii U still today. It is used mainly for Wii sports, star fox zero, smd and a couple indie games I like X-type. It get used not quite weekly, but enough that it’s still in use.
@@kidrobot. Means the console can play the games without using an emulator. The games are playing on their intended hardware. Obviously it plays Wii u games. And the console basically has a Wii inside, and a Wii can play Wii and GameCube games natively. So Wii U can play all 3 without an emulator (although Wii U locks GameCube access, but a hacked console can bypass that).
@@kidrobot. Unfortunately the Wii u disc reader does not read GC discs. You'd have to dump your games elsewhere (like a hacked Wii). Then the Wii U can install those dumped files and play the games without the disc.
Don't sleep on wii u, got a mint system in the box for $70 cad and modded it. It can play everything from nes to wii u. The greatest library you could hope for and it's not expensive right now.
My 11 year old daughter still plays my Wii U once in awhile due to this being the system I bought BOTW on as well as all the DLC's for the game. She has 100% ed the game including even getting the master cycle zero.
this is cool. but only things id need it for it is ps1, and DS. My modded SNES mini got 1TB HD, and 20k+ games. and easier to use. but i still want to do this to mine
you can use any blue tooth controller, i like using the switch nes, snes and n64 controllers. aroma has it built in or you can use bloo pair for the other hack.
I’ve Attached a Hdd drive via a usb adapter 1tb and I have every GameCube and Wii / Wii U game that interest me on it 👍🏻 Best way to play GameCube as its connected via hdmi 🥳
Question @rgt85 5:10 onwards. Are you using the wiiu tablet joypad or do you have to use a wii nunchuk / pro controller? As an example can the wii tablet be used wirelessly to emulate? Thank you. All the best.
I did this about a year ago. I have a modded Wii U, 2ds, DS, and soon a modded v1 switch. I still buy games new but its nice to be able to get japanese games with translations. Like I wish I could just buy stuff like Yokai Watch in english for switch.
Im really loving Wii U i bought one 4 years ago and i have enjoyed it so mucu even though i had a Switch and im glad i got to play the game officially when the servers were up officially and Pretendo is really cool 😎
Definitely interested in updating my old machine of choice (Softmodded Wii with Homebrew, etc) with this. Whats the best way for storage for the Wii U? External HDD or massive SD Card? What even is the highest that can go upto? Also how does this work with Wii titles?
