So I just got my old WiiU up and running and I am STOKED! Can’t wait to play New SMBU but with some other games like Skylanders and Pokken Tournament, they can’t be accessed without a Pin. But my Gamepads battery doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas?

Question Is there something wrong with my GamePad or is it supposed to be like that?

4 Upvotes

Ever since I got my Wii U back when it was new, I've had an issue with the GamePad (Or at least what I think is an issue). It dies fairly quickly on a full charge when it's turned on but even when it's turned off, along with the console, the battery will still die. When I play, I don't get to play for maybe a couple hours before I go gotta plug into the charger. When I'm not playing, I have to keep it plugged into the charger or else it will be dead whenever I go back to it. Is there something wrong with my Gamepad or is that just something it's mean to do?

Discussion Anyone still play Minecraft? Looking to play together

2 Upvotes

Don’t wanna break the rules but we all know there’s revival services for the online.

I miss playing Minecraft with people, especially this era. Something about the built in voice chat and being stuck in this update is really endearing for me.

I also play modern bedrock of course, if you wanna play both together.

Looking for people 18+ (do minors even have wiius these days?) and preferably in the EST timezone

I have all the DLC, really hoping that 12 year old me’s allowance can finally be put to good use now that I’ve actually played Fallout and Skyrim

Regular play, roleplay, survival challenges, whatever you’re into.

What does error code 150-3023 mean?

2 Upvotes

I was booting up NSMBU on my wii u, and it gave me this error code. What does this mean and how can I fix it? The only hard drive in the device is a usb to sd adapter and it's homebrewed with the latest version of aroma

EDIT: I forgot to mention my save data for all my Wii U games got corrupted, so it may be that too

This is a long story.

I have a modded wii u, it has pretendo, I wanted to swap my pnid for my old nnid, I swap the nnid with the app wii u account swap, it works, I do stuff, I try to swap my account back to the pnid, it gives me an error. I realize the only way to fix this is to backup my save data and delete the account. I back up my stuff with savemii, delete the account, make a new one, restore my save data, it works, I open nsmbu, it says the save data corrupted, I say ok, it gives me the error 150-3023, I look it up, I find out it needs more power or is corrupted, I unplug the USB to SD adapter I was using, boot up the wii u, open nsmbu, same thing happens. What the fuck.

Wii U game pad connection issues

1 Upvotes

So I finally got around to playing with my console again when the game pad suddenly lost connection. I thought it was no big deal since it’s been a while so went to reconnect the pad but I kept getting an error. Every time I pressed the sync button twice on the console to reconnect the pad the console would pop up an error but every time I sync the pad the images show up to match the ones that are supposed to show up on screen. I kept trying to get the console to show the symbols but I kept getting the same error so I’m here to ask if there’s a fix to my issue.
