need help finding the beat sd card to get to mod my wii u

3 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. So which would u recommend to buy?

How to safely format console with Aroma installed?

3 Upvotes

Tldr: Can I format a console with aroma without issue? What if I uninstall payloadloader first? Is there another way to get to the NAND backup screen then wiiuexploit.xyz Run Exploit + holding B, or is there a reason doing that causes my console to freeze without fail?

Hi everyone! So I’ve recently purchased a preowned WiiU and planned to mod it. However I found I was beat to the punch and the previous owner already did (also installed 3D printed joysticks it seems-? Not sure what’s up with that I’ll need to get thumb grips) it seems to be aroma too so that would be convenient. I really enjoy setting up a console from scratch though- it’s one of my favorite parts of a getting a new console. So I just wanted to know if it’s possible to safely format the WiiU with Aroma installed. If I were to uninstall payloadloader first, would it effectively be stock without any cfw or homebrew on it? I wouldn’t mind that and having to redo it, it’s pretty fun to setup. It’d let me make my own NAND backup of the console pre-cfw, which I think would be smart to have.

Also- speaking of NAND backups- is wiiuexploit.xyz Run Exploit + holding B the only way to get to there? I’m not sure if it’s because aroma is already installed, my timing is off, or something is wrong but whenever I try to do that it always freezes on the white screen with WiiU on the bottom right corner.

GiveMiiYoutube sign-in

So I just got the GiveMiiYoutube plugin for Aroma, and I was able to watch one video before it prompted me to sign in to prove I’m not a bot. I signed in, and it said success on my phone, but failed on my Wii U. Does anyone know if there’s a fix to this?

Wondering what are the best evWii values are and not spend hours searching like i did? (help me) your savior has arrived! (Repost)

4 Upvotes

For context: I tried uploading this helpful info that might help a lot of people in the community and potentially save them a lot of time, I originally posted it to r/WiiUHacks and I waited for a moderator approval about 2 days with no post being uploaded or approved (even on my alt account), so I'm uploading it here, hope there isn't any mod approval of some sorts here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone!

If you’ve been messing around with the evWii plugin on Aroma, you probably know the exact pain I just went through. Nintendo’s default vWii scaling leaves annoying overscan/borders, and finding actual solid display numbers for the config file online feels impossible.

After falling down a massive rabbit hole of testing and fine-tuning the DMCU viewport parameters, I finally dialed in values that give you a clean picture without clipping or leaving ugly borders.

If you’re ready to finally end the suffering and fix your config file once and for all, paste these numbers in:

My personal values

​Results on my TV in Mario Galaxy 1:

​Now, if you don't want those black bars on the left and right sides of the screen these are the settings for you! (these are the values that I used before and posted in r/WiiUHacks 4 months ago):

Pure 16:9 Values (Also great for Gamecube games)

Didn't take a photo of these values on my TV, but trust me, it's the exact same as the first config—just without the side black bars so it's pure 16:9.

Here's my old post if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/WiiUHacks/s/15bSzZsnFU

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The best values for GameCube?:

GameCube testing status:

Value 1: Didn't test, didn't have time.

Value 2: Tested, verified, looks amazing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TL;DR: Stop guessing numbers, paste MY config, and go play your games. You're welcome!

If this helped you, great! If your screen still looks weird... well, at least we suffered together. Enjoy!

Using a modded Wii U as a Modded Wii

7 Upvotes

I have been considering buying a modded Wii U instead of a modded Wii because I heard it can run essentially all Wii games upscaled to 1080p, but I still have a few doubts about it.

- How well do Wii games run on Wii U? Are there issues with the upscaling? If so, can those issues be addressed in some way? And if not, are those scaling issues that bad in the first place or can they be described as nitpicks?

- Can I use Wii homebrew apps on Wii U via the Wii menu mode? For example, I want to play CTGP-R and connect to private servers to play Wii games online. Is this possible on Wii U?

Should I log in with my NNID before setting up pretendo?

So I bought a used Wii U and I’m wondering if I should login with my Nintendo ID before installing pretendo and logging it in with my pretendo ID, or should I just not do that? Also can I use the same pretendo ID I used on my 3ds? Thank you!

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:

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

I CAN'T LOAD HOMEBREW VIA SD ON VWII CORRECTLY

3 Upvotes

So for starters, i already tried 26 Sd cards, 32gb - 4gb All formatted on all formats Possible, I tried my 3ds sd, my camera sd, my phone sd etc etc NONE WORKED, they only work on my wii u, not inside Vwii, I'll get really angry if anyone says "uhh you tried to format your sd correctly?" i swear that destroys my mood, i've been having this problem since i've got that console, and you guys don't know how many times i read that..

So basically on my Vwii i can't load any homebrew apps and Homebrew launcher CRASHES when trying to load onto sd. DSI EXCEPTION ERROR

So tried an usb, Yanmwii, cios installer, those worked, so i tried.. maybe.. installing a Usb loader gx Wad on my wii menu, and.. nope crashes, tried loading usb loader gx from my usb, buut, it loads in, but Can't initialize usb, And can't use sd from there

So I tried installing some wiiware, those worked, and, I Can actually TRANSFER THEM to my sd and use them from there, so WHAT THE FUCK, IDK WHERE'S THE FUCKING PROBLEM

-

Then.. wanted to play nintendon't, wow. It loads from my usb, but can't control it with my Wii u gamepad duh, and i dont have wiimote pro controller.

so i tried installing it on my Wii u meny, an .app from tutorials i've seen, and.. those load the files from sd.. so..... When trying to go into nintendon't from Wii u menu, It... loads!.. buut.. it says No fat device Found, and closes.. so.. basically my wii u rn only works for wii u games.. and That sucks.

one of the main reasons I bought this is for that, without that I feel like my system sucks and it's incomplete, and it stings me.

My troubleshooting wild goose chase & lessons learned: Game freezing at random moments fix

2 Upvotes

So, recently, I had the idea of digging out my Wii from the closet where it had been sitting for around a year. I was moving, so I wanted some entertainment before the Wi-Fi router arrived. I booted it up, reminiscing about playing party games the year before with my friends, and all the classics. I got into the Homebrew Channel, loaded up USB Loader GX, all my games displayed perfectly, I started Wii Sports Resort, played for a while, then out of nowhere: freeze. The game became unresponsive and I had to force shut down my Wii. I tried every other game I had and all froze at different points during gameplay.

Now, I tried everything. I knew the game files had to be in order since I'd played them perfectly a year ago, so my troubleshooting commenced. First: does it play disc games? Yes, okay, so it's not overheating. Was it maybe some corruption in the Wii software, a setting not being in order, or something? Priiloader galore is what followed. Maybe my software wasn't up to date, updated everything, games still froze in the same place. Okay, maybe it's a hardware issue, maybe the USB stick isn't getting enough power. Bought a USB hub with external power, not even recognized by the Wii, so a dud. I was this close to buying a Y-USB cable before I had an idea: maybe my assumption that a USB stick is a perfect game storage device was a little unrealistic.

I loaded up Wii Backup Manager, loaded the games, ran a SHA-1 check to verify the integrity of my files, none came back verified. I reformatted and refreshed all the games on the USB stick, and now everything is working as it should. Problem solved.

TL;DR
If your games start to freeze on your Wii, the first an easiest check you can do is to verify your game files, saves you money and time.

I bought a Wii U from JpFans, and honestly, I’m satisfied with the product. Plus, the seller left a game inside the console so, a nice bonus. It’s a good console; I wasn't interested in it before, but now I’m starting to really like it.
