I'm guessing it's not the SD but appreciate any hint/help

I run Aroma and this comes up when I press the "Payload loader installer".

I can't find the file it's referring to so haven't deleted that.Yet things I've tried:

*formated using guiformat

*different SD

*several different mini adapters

*The SD *definitely* isn't locked

*Replaced Homebrew_on_menu_plugin v0.1.9 with v0.1.8

*Created sd:\wiiu\homebrew_on_menu_plugin\
P.s can't find the q&a thread

Does someone know why my game is cropped/zoomed in?

Started to use my Wii U again to play some older games, but I have noticed it's zoomed in for whatever reason? I don't remember this being the case for other older games I have played on my console, but this specific game seems to have a problem now? Can someone explain this to me? Thanks.

I run Tiramisu with Mocha btw. I also have Aroma installed, but when I run Aroma, some things like my older games does not run anymore and just freeze (may be missing sigpatches or sthm?)

Looking for help with old modded wiiu

Hi, I was hoping someone could help or point me in the right direction on resolving an issue with my WiiU.

It’s my original wiiu that I modded probably a decade ago. Unfortunately it no longer boots past this Nintendo logo. There is no tv output at all, either by hdmi or the old composite cable either.

I have no sd card inserted with the modded fw and I’m not sure what was originally used.

Some extra symptoms:
- The console power cycles continuously (can hear the disc reader) but the tablet remains consistent on the Nintendo logo
- if I turn on via the console, the tablet remains off. But if I turn on via the tablet, it turns on the console

I have been digging into forums but a lot of the issues seem to pop up from the wiiu logo screen, where as I haven’t seen other mentions of being stuck on the Nintendo screen.

I have also tried to boot using a Pico running UDPIH

I have a replacement wiiu I can use, so ultimately I just want to pull the NNID off it

An Inquiry regarding storage on the WiiU.

So I'm new to WiiU modding (i just bought an already modded one cheap off ebay) but I'm not new to modding/emulation/etc. as a whole. I've been watching youtube videos by
"Below Average Gaming", and noticed him saying that your gonna want an SD card, a hard drive for wiiU games etc. But then says you cant do wiiU and wii/GC on the same hard drive. I saw another video by "Bytes N Bits" saying that you can do this with ISFShax.

So I would like to know...WHY. Why to all of this. I have 512GB v30 SD cards, are those good? I have a 2TB WD Elements hard drive, is that good? Should I use micro SD cards? is there a reason why I cant have it all on one big SD card? is the HDD set up the best setup? Is it better to store NES SNES N64 GC WII on the SD card or Hard drive? Ive already got all the WIIU games i want and its only 212GB, but I have an EXTENSIVE Nintendo catalog of NES/SNES/N64/GC/WII library that is easily 1TB

Essentially I guess I'm asking for a lesson on this.

Any information would be much appreciated.

Wii u eMMC chip

I recently ordered Wii u black version to mod. I’ve done a lot of research and found out that some chips (Hynix or something like that) have an issue where they brick over time. I can return the console for 14 days after it arrives and 12 months after in the case of it breaking. However I’m unsure what to do when it arrives.

My options

- Return it immediately
- Mod it and check if it has the bad chip with Wiiuident (idk if I can return it tho in that case because i heard it leaves traces of modding behind)
- Leave it or identify chip by other attributes (unreliable)
- Any other options u guys can recommend

Thank u to anyone who answers I really appreciate the help!

Is vertical position safe for the console?

Long story short my WII U died (stopped using it for some years) so i took it to a repair shop, after many error codes and several trips to the same shop it finally works.

Anyway i seen some people state that even with official "base" ( 2 little holders) using it vertical damage the console.

Is this true?

Need help with my external SSD

I recently modded my Wii U, I got everything set up on it, modded the vWii also and got the cIOS’s installed after following the guide for vWii on wii.hacks.guide, but my SSD still isn’t showing up. It’s a FAT32 1tb SSD, I have a Y cable so it’s plugged into external power and the console, I’ve tried both USB ports in the back of the console to no avail. I figured something was wrong when I didn’t get the dialogue asking me to format the drive on boot to the Wii U menu. Some things I have tried are reformatting the drive, both USB ports, Y cable, etc. what should I do?

If anyone knows more about how the gamepad and batteries work, please tell me if what's listed here seems correct for changing my battery.

I'm really tempted to do it because it's the only one I find simple and concise in my language

Need some help here gng, I'm gonna smash my console fr

Got a 2 TB WD external HDD and a Y-Cable just to get games on my Wii U after so damn long, but everything falls to schnitzel with certain games. Some games I'll boot into that take so long in the splash screen then crash the console, while one game will crash a little bit after loading the splash screen, and one game like Cars 3 will boot up the game after taking too long in the splash screen then showing that the game has booted and when pressing A to start the game, it crashes the console after awhile. Trying to get an error in Lego Marvel Super Heroes that is meant to be the 2nd error code I need for this currently and it ain't doing anything.

Also I've noticed that my console takes longer to start up and games both wanna play without audio and pesture me with saying I needa update em when I literally including updates with them. Everything installed with... uh, the app that can install games on Wii U with the words GX2 in em, yea... (not tryna get my post banned, i dont wanna rewrite this)

I always get 2 specific errors, but I can't remember the 2nd one so I'll have to leave in only the 1st one for now. Code: 160-0105 (Get that in Cars 3 and a few other games) I don't know why I get that when I bet my HDD is newer than my console's crusty ahh

(I'm writing it here and not in r/WiiUHacks because my post here kept getting deleted the moment I uploaded)

Can I delete these after installing Games

I was wondering if I could delete the files in the "install" folder after I'm done downloading the games to my hard drive

I've been using low profile microSD readers for a while now (Wii / Wii U / vWii). I know it's not exactly recommended, but I like my setups clean and it's been working perfectly so far!

Does this ethernet adapter work with the Wii U?

I'm planning on getting an ethernet adapter for my Wii U but I've heard that most ethernet adapters don't work with the Wii U so I want to know if this one works. If it doesn't please link an amazon product that does work.

Any chance in Wii-U-to-Wii game transfer?

Hiiiii,

I know this is a long shot and will require modding (which I’ve never done before), but I’m regretting my 14-year-old decision to move my Wii system data over to my Wii U. For preservation sake, I really want my WiiWare and virtual console games that I bought on my Wii to be on my Wii, but I moved it over to Wii U as a kid.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to move these games back to the Wii, and how I may go about doing it if possible?

Thank you!
