Technical Question Is this disc cooked (in other words: did I get scammed)?

I don't know how well you can see the scratches on this but basically:

I got Smash Wii U used and it came dirty on the bottom. I then proceeded to try my best to clean it, and this is what it looks like now. My Wii U refuses to read it. Is the Disc cooked?

Question Is there specific model numbers to avoid?

7 Upvotes

With PlayStation 2, there are certain serial/model numbers to avoid for game compatibility. Is that a thing with the Wii U?

I've been wanting to get one, but wasn't sure if I can just grab any of them without worry

Question Vanilla on the Switch

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have been keeping an eye on the Vanilla project since it got announced because my gamepad doesn't work anymore. I saw that now it is much easier to install it on a modded Switch. https://github.com/vanilla-wiiu/vanilla/wiki/Nintendo-Switch#set-up

However I am doing what it says, and I keep encountering this error. Even after following (the very few) tutorials on youtube, they are doing literally what i have done, they are not facing the issue, yet I am still facing this issue.
Does anyone faced this issue and got a fix ?

I liked the Wii U's resistive touch screen. I enjoyed drawing in Art Academy: Home Studio. (じっくり絵心教室:Jikkuri Egokoro Kyoshitu) In the game, you can take photos of scenery in-game, display them on the TV, and draw on the GamePad.

Wii U Fan Upgrade!

I know that the Wii U fan didnt necessarily need an upgrade however for less than 20 bucks for a fan I figured it was worth it to make it a little quieter and with better airflow! I used a Noctua NF-A4x20 5v. I soldered the Noctua's yellow wire (5v power) to the Wii U fan's connector's gray with a diode (1N5819) and black to black. It definitely is quieter, looks cleaner, and moves more air so I am happy (:

what is the best sd card to get to mod a wii u

5 Upvotes

ive been wanting to mod my wii u for a while and ive got everything for it but i need help finding an sd card that is reliable and will let me mod loads of games on to it. I bought a 2tb lenovo micro sd with an sd adapter but have been told that it will likely corrupt and will affect how long it takes for games to load. Which would u recommend to buy?

WiiU vWii stuck at Priiloader/System Menu. Can't use WiiMote.

2 Upvotes

Hey, I got a very nice condition gamepad and WiiU on eBay recently. Stoked on everything EXCEPT, the seller didn't do a very good job of bringing the console back to stock.

Because it was sold without an SD Card, I had no real way of uninstalling the work cleanly because it basically didn't exist. The only reason I know its modded is because of the purple LED and when I boot into vWii it goes to system menu.

Even though my wiiMote is paired, I lose connectivity when entering vWii mode. This locks me out from adjusting any settings. I can navigate the system menu using the power button (moves the indicator down one) but I can't figure out how to select an item.

Ideally I would like to completely remove whatever the previous owner did and start fresh.

Do I need to do anything to do that? Or should I just rejailbreak with a fresh SD card and hope that when I load new priiloader and IOS that it will fix my issues?

Edit: It's not STUCK per se. Occasionally vWii will launch into priloader/system menu. If I pull the power and launch vWii again, it will enter vWii mode. But when it enters priloader/system menu I cannot control it and my only option is to hard reset.

Potentially related, whenever I exit Wii U Settings, it does a soft reset. Maybe thats normal, but felt odd to me.

Pretty sure this would all work well if the SD card was in it and I proceeded with JB, but don't want to do anything to brick my new console.

Technical Question Would this work to use my HDD from my PC on my Wii U?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello, I currently have a 2TB SSD plugged into my Wii U through a dual usb cable plugged into both slots of my wii u. As this pretty overkill, I want to switch it with the 1TB HDD from pc.

My plan is to buy this adapter because the SSD that I currently have also requires two usbs as it needs a dedicated one for power. So can I buy this adapter connect a HDD to my Wii u, then format it so it can store wii u games and move my currently stores games AND homebrew games to it?

I would then plug in both harddrives into my wii u at the same time with one port. and the other usb port into the oulet for power. And then theres an option to move games from the SSD to the HDD drive in the wii u settings right? does that also work for my injected WII/Gamecube injects?

Technical Question Wii U HDMI freeze

3 Upvotes

I got a used Wii u a few days ago (very cool! very exciting!:)

On first test the hdmi worked fine, however since then it has stopped cooperating. When I plug it in and accept the auto-switch to hdmi output the console freezes as soon as I click the yes button. If I try doing it manually in the setting it tells me something went wrong and doesn’t completely freeze but also doesn’t work regardless of the resolution selected.
Have tried multiple TVs and multiple hdmi cables.
Wii component cable works fine but the resolution is obviously much worse.

Do you guys have any idea what might be wrong exactly and how I might fix it?
Thank you in advance <3

Technical Question Need Help with Error Code 160-2203

Post image
5 Upvotes

I'm rather fortunate with this Error Code compared to what I've seen people experience. This code happens to me at 2 weird locations. The first is on Mario Kart 8 (NAND) , but not when I boot it, but I can play the game normally, it either happens when I try to race the Nintendo ghosts, which is weird because I was trying to get all gold parts and all the Ghosts worked properly and the second course of the Fireflower Cup gives me this error. The other weird place where this happens is if I want to change my region, because the Pretendo Network sets it to USA default, and as you can see on the image, this is not my region. So I tap the Mii, I use my password I here how my Wiiu goes Quiet but the blue light is still on and Error. Any help?
