9:19 Okay, I'm not much of a DBZ guy these days but damn, that Vegeta impression was on point lol Nice tutorial by the way, I had no idea the extra folders were optional so it really helped. I'll probably dust off my old Wii U and upgrade my RetroArch to the new version.
I wanted to say thank you for the wii u haxchi video! I just finished up installing some games and it works great! The only thing I can't get working is the wup installer channel won't show up after being "Sucessfully Installed"
Hi, when that happens that means you're not booting into haxchi first. To be able to run any form of homebrew you need to make sure you boot into haxchi one time first This also maybe able to help you out gbatemp.net/threads/verify-wup-files-are-correct-complete-dlc-e-shop-require-sig-patch.496067/
Thaanks for the video. Im still having issues with Retroarch not loading things other than NES and CPS2. I'm sure it is a problem on my end or romset(s) ie zipped vs unzipped, etc. I found your videos super useful. Was able to instlal Haxchi. I'm still not understanding everything though but with time I hope I learn more. So far I believe the SD CARD in the WII U is what holds HAXCHI and any other custom software data. My card is 32 gb but I also have a 128 gb that I copied everything from 32 gb card yet it still wont work. Oh well, I'll figure it out. Just wanted to comment, hit like: I like your content. Over 2 10+ minute videos I only got annoyed once. It was when you said, "LETS FUCKIN GO!!!"at 07:24 . Anywhos, Thanks for the content. Very much enjoyed. Subscribed.
What other systems are you having trouble loading? RetroArch can read zip files so you shouldn't have to unzip anything to my knowledge Haxchi is installed on your NAND (internal memory) so the SD isn't needed anymore for THAT program. But it is needed for almost everything else The new sd you tried, did you format it to fat32? Did you get annoyed because of the swearing? Lol But yeah thanks! I appreciate it
No unfortunately they were discontinued, if you already have the app you can redownload it but the service itself is done I can't confirm this, but you can always try using the internet browser to see if you can get something working for Netflix but again I'm not sure
I just stumbled across your channel when thinking of modding my Wii and had a question I’m hoping you could answer. Ive had my Wii since launch and want to mod my Wii since the disc drive broke. I plan installing roms including Wii mods for games I already have save files for. I want to be able to continue using those save files that are already on the system when I play it through a rom on the homebrew channel, is this possible? I know next to nothing about any of this stuff and will just be following your videos second by second
Yes and no If your playing a backup Wii/Wii u game then yeah your game save should be fine If you play other emulator (SNES, NES and so on) then no not possible
@@BelowAverageGaming so if I install a Wii emulator on the SD card it’ll pull from the current save on the system, or will I have to install something else with it to make that connection happen?
There's no such thing as a wii emulator for the console. All you're doing is downloading a backup to the Wii U, that's literally all it, You make it diskless So yeah those games should work No problem because it's not running on a different system
Do you have any idea how to get thumbnails downloaded? I scanned my files and it organized them into playlists by system, but it won't let me download by playlist
I noticed in some of your more recent tutorials that you've got a shortcut for retroarch on the homescreen, how did you make it into a shortcut? Is there a way to turn any homebrew app into a shortcut?
I'm assuming you didn't use my tutorial for retroarch? I got rid of all those hundreds of emulators and only put the main files in mine lol that way it doesn't clog up my homebrew launcher
I did use a different tutorial, I'd originally homebrewed my wii u last fall, but there were a few things that I'd never gotten around to doing and seeing your tutorials in my sub box has been inspiring me to finish everything up lol
Haha well thanks! If you decide to you can go back and watch like 30 seconds of my video and I show you how to delete all the extra cores if you don't want them there. The only thing you really need there is the main retroarch application, all the other ones you can just consider shortcuts to the emulator of your choice
Hey man I'm back again. Do you happen to be planning a new video for installing games like Mario or Zelda? or could you respond with a website that can help with that? Thanks again. Ps great video again man
It depends which kind of games you're talking about, so this is mainly emulation for older systems. Are you looking for newer games like Wii or Wii U games? That's a whole different rabbit hole lol
@@BelowAverageGaming yeah sorry i complicated things more than it should've but yeah i meant games for the wii and wii u. It would be great to get wii sports or splatoon.
i know this comment is abit late but is there a way to have a shortcut to start your game like on pc retroarch where u can just go straight to the game without going load content going and through folders
I have a tonne of psx games but limited sd space. I wish there was a way we could inject psx games to use with an emulater but store to the ext usb drive i have. (Much more space)
I just did the "official" tiramisu tutorial. That means I had nothing to do with haxchi or something. Can I still do this tutorial or how else do I run roms?
Note this does not work with aroma, you need teramisu to load RetroArch. Also in RetroArch you need to go to directory and select the bios folder. I can confirm PS1 games work on the wiiu.
Does this method work for the latest guide? And also could I just install it from the hombrew app store without changing sd cards? AND if so, how would loading roms be like that way?
Yes this works with the current tiramisu guide Yes you can install it from the Homebrew app store, you'll still need to use your PC to put roms on though

I think you should learn the basic functionality of tiramisu before messing with emulation The Wii U is your normal console. Once you hack it, It can boot into a custom firmware called tiramisu To boot into tiramisu, you have to open the health and safety application on your Wii U home screen. It's no different than opening an application on your computer.
