I got an unskippable ad just to watch how to homebrew a console I don't even own 😭
I got two

@@Flashyflashlight both of our usernames have three Ls in them
@@RevolutionFalls cool
And? Who the fuck asked
After all these years, finally I've modded them all (Wii, Wii u, 3ds)
gotta mod em all
@@Ra1ny_day also switch
@@vincenzoianniciello884 the switch eshop hasn’t shut down yet
@vincenzoianniciello884 I'm waiting till the switch is obsolete, when the new console comes out, the switch homebrew will flourish so much more and maybe be easier

Ordered a Wii U, pretty good timing
Same! Got mine ordered yesterday, so I'm excited and happy the guide came out too! Should be here by the 30th and it cost me under $100 for everything including two games, cables, console and all in great condition, can't wait to mod it ❤
Same had ordered one and it should be coming in today.
Great choice
Same it's coming in today! Got it for $85!
Edit: It came in today as it took a week later
It's like the Wii U never died

9:15 For this, mine is actually yellow. Is it the same thing, or is it different?
And the Payload-Loader logo was changed from an A to a rocket shooting from a box.
Yup it's the same thing, mine was like that.
Same
Thank you. :)
A future reference to anyone trying to do this, No, a USB Stick will NOT WORK. The console will ask you to try and change it, and if you cancel and keep going with the steps past the Internet Browser step, it will tell you that you need a card, so yeah.
thx u saved me a lot of work
Is there snorker way to do it?
Hi, I pressed A on aroma in the environment loader (9:15) but it just takes me to a black screen instead of the warning
Same
Same
Same...has anybody found the fix to this?
@@PrincessZelda.Hyrule don't think so
yes same happens to me if you look he as an extra folder he puts on the root folder still not worked this out though
Fun fact, I was literally about to ask for a video about homebrewing the Wii U but didn't bother
BRO thx perfect timing my wii u just came in the mail! Thx so much!
I knew this was gonna happen when I’ve already home brewed my Wii U already but my payload loader app has a rocket icon instead of an A button
@@WinspearUltima same
Perfect timing! I just received my WII U today!
SAME 😊
same man
on 9:15 i my screen was still black, it didn't come up with the warning message?
pls respond, im working on my wii u rn!
same issue
@@mrtwotoneapkidd oh
@@RIP_Misho I just fixed it, downloaded base aroma and swapped my sd reader
@@mrtwotoneapkidd ok I will try that too thanks for letting me know !
Any particular reason why on your website, when I click WiiU guide it goes right to 3ds guide??
Can you upload a video on how to use Pretendo on a Wii U plz
There are several tutorials you can follow.
Hi. I’ve copied all necessary files to my SD card and inserted it into the Wii U and navigated to the virtual Wii to check if it is currently working. The Wii menu had a blue SD card button and it was able to load data from the SD card. (it didn’t show any coloured blocks because I don’t have anything but the files on there) When I navigated to the Wii U internet browser and ran the exploit, it took me to the black screen, but instead of displaying, “Please choose your payloads.”, it instead showed, “FSO Open File Failed; could not detect the payload.elf file.”, or something of the sort. I’ve looked online and other people have also had this issue. I checked that I actually had the file and it was there, in the “wiiu” folder. Could someone please provide a cohesive solution?
I am replying to your comment. Although I have no idea how to help you. I do not have a Wii U
@@_JustynkaPL clown
@@TheJojoGamerHello did u get to fix it?
9:13 what should I do if it only sends me to a black screen?
Edit: Solved it by downloading the base for Aroma instead but got a yellow screen
I have the same problem please get back to me if you find a proper fiz
when I do this step the console shows a black screen with the text "FSMountSource failed. Please insert a FAT32 formatted sd card" but the previous steps worked...
Update: fixed just changing the sd adapter
@@FabioValvason02 what adapter did u use first?
9:21 my !Warning! screen isn't red, it's yellow but it says basicly the same. After i launch the Wii U Menu there is nothing new. Any idea why the PayloadLoader Installer isn't there?
@@satanderteufel6563 the updated aroma has the installer as a rocket in a box it’s the same app.
i always touch my Wii U now, i love it
anton when are you going to make a NetPass video?
Where’s the aroma download screen? I can’t find it to fix the black screen at 9:16
After I get to the environment, loader in select aroma, my console just freezes on a black screen for a while. It doesn’t do anything.
same
I'd use Tiramisu instead. It seems to be the better of the 2 to use
@@thorodinson2017are you using tiramisu
Saved this video cuz l want a wii u for christmas to mod the shift out of it. I hope l'll be back here in 1 or 2 months. And if l get one, thank you in advance for making this video lol
edit: Found one at a garage sale for 60 bucks and bought it with my savings, thanks again for this guide
Not getting the red screen about the updater disabled (9:16). Just stuck on a black screen with wii music. Did I miss a step ?
Go to the aroma download screen and download base aroma it's in the middle fixed it for me it will be yellow not red tho
@Theeggman-ih9wk thank u, I appreciate it. I got a yellow screen pressed A and it fixed the issue going forward.
@@Theeggman-ih9wk Did you have to redo everything?
@@normalcat__ nope
@@Theeggman-ih9wk Ok thanks for the help!
Guys, I need your help with some thing, I’ve got everything done and installed, but how do you get the actual Wii U games on there?
@@jameslipscomb2282 did you ever figure out out?
FYI you're not telling people to download the Aroma beta, but then you have it downloaded and extract the files unto the SD card. I think people maybe be messing up because of this.
Wait so I’m missing something?
@@justinsoto6302yes, if it doesnt work u have to download the beta first
after the aroma at 9:11 I have a black screen
same, did you find a way to fix it ?
@@SkullYz not yet
@@SkullYz I succed but dont know exacly how I did it
@@NotNado_QC How do you do? please let me know, I have this error "FSMountSource failed. Please insert a FAT32 formatted sd card"
Update: fixed just changing the sd adapter
9:10 here is where I got an error message saying “FSGetMountSource failed. Please understand a FAT32 formatted as card” and when I checked the properties of the sd card on my pc it said it was already formatted to FAT32. Putting the SD card back into the Wiiu didn’t do anything. If anyone knows what I did wrong pls let me know
I’m using a 128 GB micro sd card in an adapter btw
Ok soooooo after going to wiiu hacks guide website I found that my console was most likely not reading the ss card correctly, and that it was probs just dusty in there and turns out it was…..
@@yoshifighter727 its work ?
Hey do you know how to download games? Everything went well now I just gotta find out how to put games now, I have a mac and I don't know any alternatives sites that can help me get games.
@@Clamely4500 of you find out pls let me know!
Love this! Can you do an updated version on how to play Wii and GameCube games on Wii U? Also how to load them from an external HDD instead of SD Card. Also how to install Wii U backups to an external HDD instead of console memory and SD Card.
9:06 I downloaded everything but it said no valid software when i got to this screen. any ideas?
im having an issue when its telling me my sd card isnt rightable. its not locked, its in fat 32 ive followed every step to the t ut to ging to the exploit site the second time. what am i doing wrong
Owning a Wii U is fr the hardest Part of this Video💀
for real
Very educational! Thank you!
I’m stuck. It keeps on saying failed to open device because the process can’t access The file because it’s being used in another process. How do get past this error? How do I know if it’s converted to FAT32?
Edit: never mind I figured it out, I was just stupid
To anyone experiencing this issue, make sure you don't have your sd card opened in the file explorer or inside any other program, as this error will appear because of that.
If you're completely sure that you don't have the sd card opened by anything, try to eject and insert it again and repeat. If the problem persists, you're fucked lmao
At 9:18 and I’ve gotten to the step where I’m supposed to get that warning screen, but so far it’s just a black screen on the TV and Gamepad.
The console is still running and it’s still playing the loading sound effect, but it’s been a few minutes. Is this normal or did I mess up?
Same with me
Hey dude, can you please link to the official guide? Your video has value as a 'this is what it should look like' resource, but you're making people brick or have incomplete setups.
He linked the official guide to his website lol
Could you make a guide for Gen1 Switch?
Can we use usb stick in place of sd card?
No, you have to use an SD card, at least the first time, and a USB to SD adapter won’t work; I tried it. Some aspects of this modding, I will admit, are quite arduous.
when i click on aroma it doesnt appear the warning message but a black screen
I bought a used wii u. I'm assuming it has been modded since it gave me a "cant locate payload" message.
What can I do from here to figure out what the previous owner has done?
I watch these guides for fun
Hello awsome video!! Question can I use a USB drive or does it only work with a SD card??
Hey, just with that last step, im unsure what to do as when i launch the Aroma Updater its a very different screen.
Guys I hacked Wii U and it all went smooth, however I am running out of storage now my Wii U and I want to connect an external hard drive. If I connect the hard drive will I have to move my SD card files over to the hard drive and restart the hacking process?
@@Football-b2w Nah, you should be able to format the external hard drive via Data Management in your Wii U's settings and it'll work as extra storage. No need to do anything to the SD card and no need to restart the hacking process. Then through Data Management you can move games to the hard drive to free up system memory like normal. Reminder that you'll most likely need a cable that has an extra usb cable on the end for power for the hard drive (Just in case cause I balled it and failed when I tried using a normal cable).
thank you for pointing me towards the right version of rufus. it works good for me now. thanks
For some reason my 32gb Kingston sd card that I'm using says thats it's write blocked what do I do to fix this problem?
I had an issue where the console wouldn't find the SD card. Make sure when you look into diskpart that the SD card is not GPT. (It doesn't have a asterisk in the GPT column) If it does, move the data back to your pc. Delete the partition and type convert mbr. Then move the data back and try again.
If you have a black screen in the environment loader download the base aroma and put it in like the rest of the files
I just tried this twice and the payloads folder along with the payload.ELF and the payloads.rpx were not in the files that I downloaded did I make some sort of mistake or is there an alternate way of getting those files?
@@ryanwinters9375 I had to download an additional file that he didn’t mention in the video when this happened to me, and I got it modded a few mins later
question: is SaveMii where you can play any game?
how does it save all of the data? do you need a large sd card for a ton of games?
9:13 the loading is taking too long did i do something wrong and how do i fix it ?
6:01 it says FSGetMountSorce failed. Please insert a FAT32 Formatted SD card?
Is there a way to do it without an SD card? My Wii U’s SD card slot is broken.
I think u r screwed
You’re cooked
can the dual shock controller module work with any other usb controller? 14:45
Why isn’t homebrew App Store showing up?
ok but what about the games? how do I get the roms/isos/whatever in my Wii u?
Try vims lair
wait can aroma still do everything that a normal Wii u home menu can, or it will be the opposite, like saying the Daily Log, will it reset that or it will still have the data analisys there?
Edit: please do a moonlight wii u v1.6 download and install, no one is doing it and theres no description on how to do it
does this apply to 5.5.6 U, trying to hack the wii u after hacking my 3ds and 2ds
Ever since i hhomebrewed, it tells me i have to sign into nnid but it always says my password is wrong. i checked on my 3ds, it was right, changed it anyways, and still saying its wrong, HELP PLZ
I got the same issue. Have you found the solution?
@@snarpking when this happened to me, i just had to remove the pretendo plugin from the sd card.
Dawg I just got mine this is just a great timing
Cool Tutorial! Anton!
I have my og Wii U with a few family profiles with game data from my Wii / Wii U library both physical and legally digital games. Now that the eShop is closed, I'd love to hack my Wii U to install games but I'd love to keep the profiles, game data and my nintendo network ID... is all of this posible? Or we have to start from zero once hacked?
This was very useful ^_^ now i can play pokemon ranger on my tv
Thank you so much this really helped!😊
When the console came out, I've always wanted one lol can you play it in handheld mode?
So, I did everything up until the big red aroma warning screen, because it doesn’t show up, it just sits there with a black screen and some system music, what do I have to do?? I swear jailbreaking consoles NEVER goes smoothly for me 😅
It's because you're following a video guide. Google Wii u hacks guide, and that should take you to the right place.
i have the same issue and dont know what to do
same issue here
Same
you also need to download base aroma, its the middle green download button on the aroma page. that made it work for me hope this helps
after pressing A on my system after the step at 9:13 my Wii U stayed on a black screen any ideas on what happend?
The same thing is happening to me, have you found a solution to the problem?

The warning screen doesnt show up after choosing ‘aroma’ in my browser, does anyone know why this is the case?
Anton, help!! I tried downloading the Aroma files you directed, and unfortunately it won't show up in my downloads, what do i do? I followed the steps in the video and checked the boxes like you said.
Have you tired downloading the beta version first?
i did all the steps but im missing the homebrew app store idk what to do should i restart or what?
Can you do the nand back up if you already homebrew aroma installed?
What size HDD and SD card are good? Can wii u, wii and gamecube backups be stored on both HDD and SD? Thanks
Ive downloaded all the files required but when holding down B after pressing the exploit button My screen says FSGetMount Failed, please insure a FAT32 formatted sd card but Im using a 32gb sd card
Greeting,
I have a problem with Wii Sports Resort game. Namely, I converted the WBFS file to the Wii U installation folder via TeconMoon's WiiVC Injector and everything works great except that I can't record the progress because I can't select my Mii profile. In the game it says I need to create a profile but I have my Wii U profile, but it doesn't recognize it. Wii U games don't have that problem. Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance
9:15 - I did it but it shows a black screen
@@krysttelmarchan8064 yeah same
Does the SD card need to stay in the Wii U after completing everything or can I clear it?
Seems like more ppl in the comments have problems with this than have successfully installed it.
Exactly

i have a problem, the thing is when i run the expliod with the X button. when i click aroma, the screen gets black and i cant do nothing. i repeated the proces several times but only happens the same thing. can someone help me in this situation?
Same did you figure it out
@@felixoffthewall8 no, sorry. But someone on the discord server told me to reinstall the Aroma files (I didn't have time to try again so I'll have to do it later. If you try van you tell me if it worked for you) TX for asking😅
Go to the aroma download screen and download base aroma it's in the middle fixed it for me it will be yellow not red tho
Your site seems to have deleted the wii u guide, it redirects to the 3ds one now, so i cannot access all the links
It's in the description
The link on the site doesn’t take you to a Wii U guide it takes you to 3ds.

Seems like a lot of work when I already have Tiramusu on mine, is it better?
I have a problem whit one folder the name its not the same when pasing it to the root folder.
how do i open the apps in downloaded on the homebrew app store inside the wii u?
Do I take my existing files off my sd card format and put them back on
If I just have an HDD and no SD card, how do i format the drive?
Thoughts on nusspli?
Can you use a 128gb se card for the Wii U instead of a 32gb card?
