This needs more views. I don't know anything about programing or code so I can't do anything with your information, but I loved Wii U and I hope this can reach more people before Nintendo tried to prevent anyone from making quality Wii U homebrew games
Thank you for this! Just in-depth enough to give an idea of what I'm in for, but doesn't get bogged down with too many details and let's me learn what I need to do what I want. Wish more guides were like this.
The video is great and everything is well explained! But at 5:00 you said that you can drag and drop all the files you provided by hand. Is there an instruction somewhere on how to do it and what files to put where? Because this point is not clear, and the Nintendo Dev Interface refuses to work and does not find anything
Sadly I can't release that fully, however a member of the discord did do it if you wanted to try and find it there. I also think someone made a short video on there as well
I don't know the exacts off the top of my head, however a member of the discord has made a short tutorial and posted it there. Also a few people in there could help!
the only thing remotely close to coding that i've done was to mess around with jbeam files in beamng, but i might give it a try, maybe with visual scripting.
Great tutorial! I'm surprised, are they still giving the SDKs for 3DS and Wii U if you sign up on the developer website today? I honestly thought they locked up the older consoles stuff once they're "dead".
There are different tools to develop for the Wii, you would need to do some research to figure that out. The tools for the Wii U are completely different sadly
I think I know the issue. Maybe it has something to do that Im using the homebrew launcher as an app. Because now, Loadiine wont open at all and just reboots me into the hb launcher. I will try again with the Mii Maker version and let you know if it works
I found the solution. I was just stupid. I created the games folder on the root of my sd card and not in the wiiu folder. And I did some tweaks to make the gane much lighter. (Roll A Ball is not a game which should be 1,5GB big) Now its only 50mb.
Hi, I have a problem with the installation of Unity, after logging in to my account it just freezes when I click the agree to the policy button. I tried it on several computers and from different archives and even downloaded Unity 2017 separately from the official website, nothing changed. If you can tell me how to solve it, I will be very grateful.
I've already found a solution! Just do the manual activation, because if you just log in to your account through Unity, it hangs on signing the privacy policy. But everything works fine through the website.
Question. Is there no way to make this whole thing work with a more up to date unity version? (not even the latest like 2023 or 2022, just something like unity 2018 or 2019 would do wonders!) cause unity 2017 is a bit outdated & most of the new unity features require at the very least unity 2018 (like spriteshapes & the new unity input system)
That's a good question, sadly I don't think it's possible. The Wii U build support was discontinued after 2017, I am sure there's ways to get around it, but I have not found it yet
Yes! If you install the Wii U built support The help menu will add a new button for Wii U documentation. Separately if you sign up for the Nintendo developer website they still have all of their documentation up
@@thedevatlas woah... and here I thought at least some things would be discontinues. Glad to know its not lost media or anything. Is the Unity help documentation the same as Nintendos? If not it might be good thing to achieve in case 1 has information the other doesn't
@@thedevatlas That sounds pretty important. I'm surprised the unity documentation doesn't tell you how to get someone's Miis from their Wii U! Too bad that stuff is locked behind a legally-binding NDA and Nintendo can remove it whenever they feel like it...
Hey, i dont seem to see anything about developer support, i signed up as an individual and only see a admin tab, is it beacause the wii u service is down ?
Hmmm, that is a weird issue. If you are trying to get the SDK you may need to sign up as a developer or try getting info/files from the Internet archive
At October 8 the official support for n3ds and wiiu has ended. That means no more Nintendo dev interface and other official downloads for everyone who didn't registered in time. Just checked it 😢

I got a Nintendo Switch ad while watching.
Yah no kidding

Been on the fence about both jailbreaking my Wii U and learning how to make games and I might have just been convinced to do both.

3 hours and 120 views? severely underrated.
Edit: And you exported this in 4k 60fps?!?!?!
Cool, now can i force chat gpt to code it for me?
This is great man, I really love your channel.
WE MAKIN COOKIE CLICKER WITH THIS ONE
3:14 I got to this step but the Wii U option isn't appearing. Do you have any advice?

Thanks, I'll try to look for it!@@thedevatlas
Where do i put the patches for the consoles at in unity, and how come it still shows the pop-up in unity after i put the sdk command in
I don't know the exacts off the top of my head, however a member of the discord has made a short tutorial and posted it there. Also a few people in there could help!
Hey how did you get the files to build the wii u in unity? I tried and I couldn't build it
I'd definitely be interested in making a 2D game
the only thing remotely close to coding that i've done was to mess around with jbeam files in beamng, but i might give it a try, maybe with visual scripting.
beamng is so fun
also the only coding i have done is a prank program that plays a rickroll on the victims pc at random times with a batch and mp4 file
or maybe when i forced chat gpt to make flappy bird in html and javascript
@@Xpnvh now that i think about it, i could use chatgpt's help.
@@shibe32do you want my rickroll code? idk i just really wanna share it with someone
Great tutorial! I'm surprised, are they still giving the SDKs for 3DS and Wii U if you sign up on the developer website today? I honestly thought they locked up the older consoles stuff once they're "dead".
They do lock stuff down, but I was surprised how open they were
@@thedevatlas can you tell me where to put the cafe sdk????
I have everything except I dont know how to enter the lisence key in unity for the Wii U
Sadly it is a bit of trial and error. There is a code in the description but you may need to file with unity itself.
@thedevatlas ok
Great video!
Thanks!
Can i have nintendo dev interface plz it dont show up on my nintendo dev thingy.
It may have changed since, but you can find it with some basic Google
wii u support dont work
help me
Using the illegitimate method, even after i put the PATH in, unity is still telling me to add CAFE_ROOT to the PATH
If you join the discord someone made a new short tutorial that fixes some problems after Nintendo did some changes :(
@ Sorry, I was able to fix it, just had to restart my PC, rookie mistake on my part 😅
how can i make this running on a normal wii?
There are different tools to develop for the Wii, you would need to do some research to figure that out. The tools for the Wii U are completely different sadly
i signed up for the nintendo developer site but i dont see the developer support tab
It may be discontinued now, this was the official way, but you may need to find a more sneaky way to get it. I have not looked into a new solution yet
@@thedevatlasi found one
@@plainrocky TELL ME PLEASE
I have a problem, my game doesnt show up in loadiine.
I copied it over to my sd card, started loadiine and then... Nothing.
What should I do?
Hmmm, idk I have had many issues with loadiine. It could be your unity build settings. That has been the source of most of my errors.
I think I know the issue. Maybe it has something to do that Im using the homebrew launcher as an app. Because now, Loadiine wont open at all and just reboots me into the hb launcher. I will try again with the Mii Maker version and let you know if it works

Nice, I am glad it is working:)
Can i use all this by make a port of ps2 game on wii u?
Sure, it just might be a bit hard :)
I'm going to port my game beat up homeless outside gas station simulator to the wii u

Does the nintendo docmentation for how to use the Wii U tools still exist?
Yes! If you install the Wii U built support The help menu will add a new button for Wii U documentation. Separately if you sign up for the Nintendo developer website they still have all of their documentation up

They do seem to have different things, one major difference is the Wii U documentation has extra things on the USB and storage and miis and stuff

Yes, yes it is
internet archive data breach and yep, no games for me
I saw, working on a new way :)
