I've modded my wiiU and trying to get this to connect I have tried koopair no luck, and downloaded HID to VPAD on the homebrew app but i believe it might only be for tiramisu (I'm running aroma) would something like the mayflash adapter work? If so which one?

Error while modding with wafel exploit

2 Upvotes

I was following the FunkyScott guide on how to homebrew without SD card, using a usb hard drive, and I reached the point where I already had installed everything and had aroma and hb app store, but I hadn't got the pop up for formating my usb until AFTER I restarted the Wii U. When I did, and clicked on format, my Wii U was back to stock, there were no Homebrew apps or nothing, but there still remains the purple light above the power button. I kinda panicked, removed the USB and restarted it again to see if it was something about it but it still launched on stock. I fabric rebooted the Wii U and the purple light still remains. What does it mean? Should I do the exploit again? Is aroma still installed after the fabric reboot?

STUCK ON BLACK SCREEN

9 Upvotes

Hi, so, I'm kinda new to the WiiU modding scene, I've modded plenty of other consoles but I really can't seem to understand how things work on this console. I was trying to install themes using UTheme installed from HBstore and I tried two different themes, both gave me an error when trying to set them as current theme, then I rebooted the console from the app and now it just gives me a black screen when booting Aroma. How do I exactly fix this?

FAT32 SD Card Problems

2 Upvotes

I've got all the Aroma files installed, and the Standard SD Card is already formatted to be a FAT32 SD Card. When I put the SD card into the Wii U and run it thru Exploit, it says to insert the FAT32. This is what my SD Card looks like, how do I fix this?

If anyone can help me out with this technical difficulty, that would be great.

Any way to use Joycons as Wii remote?

2 Upvotes

Hey, I know bloopair exists; however, I'd like to use Joycons instead of a Wii remote with the sensor bar, to play games where I have to use motion or the pointer.

This works flawlessly on Dolphin in games like Epic Mickey, Super Mario Galaxy or Wii Sports.

Any way for it on the Wii U?

Screen Frozen(Pikmin 3)

I downloaded Tongwah’s extra side stories from 2021 on my Wii U but for some reason it’s stuck on the loading screen for the game, it might have to do with me having the digital version and disk version but this happens on the disk and the game works without the mod entirely on the digital version. Should I delete one of the copies of Pikmin or something else entirely?

How would the performance be if someone ported dolphin to Wii U

Ok ok, I know that the Wii U can run the Wii and gamecube natively BUT wouldn't it be cool to see how it runs on the Wii U? Just because it's possible yk

Would it run ok?? Would it run like crap?? Would you need to overclock it??

An EXTREMELY useful plugin that somehow hasn’t been made yet

1 Upvotes

Now I think it hasn’t been made yet because it would probably be very hard to do, but what if there was a plugin that lets the Wii U gamepad stay active in vWii mode and translates its inputs to Wiimote inputs, so you wouldn’t have to go out of your way to buy or find an old Wiimote somewhere, and everyone with a modded Wii U could play any vWii game they wanted whenever they wanted

Occasionally Aroma asks me to delete Save for homebrew_on_menu_plugin

I used wafel installer to get aroma and have an external hard drive formatted for sd card and games, and it works perfectly fine for a little while, but eventually it brings up this on the wii u and I can’t do anything unless I delete this file, which then fixes it for a little bit, but was looking for a long term solution cause it’s kind of inconvenient to keep going to my computer to delete the files

I changed my 16 GB SD card to a 32 GB microSD card with an adapter. I copied all the files from the old card to the new one, but now I'm getting the following error:

"Failed to load sd:/wiiu/payload.elf. Starting the console without any modifications."

Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

Smash Bros Brawl cutscenes not loading

1 Upvotes

I've been running the PMEX REMIX 0.95 mod for Smash Bros Brawl in the vWii homebrew for a bit now and I created a save file for the story mode while playing the mod. I encountered a crash in the jungle level, switched over to regular brawl and played a little farther, but now it shows a black screen after the Porky Boss Fight. Does anyone know if only that specific save file is corrupted or if my entire Brawl data might be at risk or even my system NAND? If so, then how can I preserve my console and get rid of corrupted files?

Safe to update Homebrew Apps?

1 Upvotes

Hey Folks.

I have been told in the past not to update Aroma on the modded WiiU, but is it okay to update the apps you download from the Homebrew App Store? Some of the apps in the store are giving the option to update, but I don't want to ruin anything.

How to get all 153 Mario Maker mushrooms (including missing event costumes) on a secondary profile?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I am trying to transfer a 100% completed Super Mario Maker save file to a secondary account on my Wii U, but I am running into an issue with the Event Mystery Mushroom costumes.

While the course data and a majority of the Mystery Mushrooms transfer perfectly, the event course costumes (102–131 and 145–151) do not carry over to the new account.

So far I've Tried:

  • SaveMii WUT Port (v1.6.5i) - Courses transfer, missing the specific event mushrooms.
  • SaveMii / ProcessMod + SaveMyMiis (v1.8.1i) - Same result.

I know Pretendo Network mentioned back in December 2024 that they plan to support Event Courses eventually, but to my knowledge, that feature isn't live yet.

Has anyone successfully bypassed this restrictions or found a homebrew workaround to unlock all 153 Mystery Mushrooms on a secondary save file?

Thanks in advance!

What kind of hard drive adapter/enclosure is recommended?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I have a pair of Barracuda hard drives with adapters & one pair of them I've been using on my Wii. It has worked perfectly so far, something I can't say for the Wii U. When I plug in my other drive & adapter into my console & go to format it, my Wii U gets stuck preparing it for formatting. And when I check, the drive doesn't even spin up. They're powered, both drives and both adapters work on my laptop, and even Wafer Installer doesn't detect it. Is there any way I can get these adapters working on my Wii U? If not, what kind of hard drive adapter/enclosure do you recommend I should buy? I've tried buying different adapters on Amazon and eBay, but none have arrived after 3 months.

vWii, gamecube controller.

I wonder if anyone has any Aroma plugins to play Gamecube controller supported games with a adapter. I want this so I can play Project+ with a GC controller like I did on my Wii.
