Thank you so much for all the Wii U modding videos. I am brandnew to this topic and you helped me out a bunch :)
Sorry for the late comment. I’ve been out of town. Another rocksolid video man. Keep it up! It’s incredible that things like this can even be done. I love modern technology. It’s also sad how things like this need to be done in order to play some older games. It would be nice if companies would bring their older games to the modern era. I mean as a standard rule of thumb. Not just one or two here and there.
I mean in terms of companies trying to bring older games into the modern era, if you have the switch they do already have a Super Nintendo and Nintendo emulator. It's just they only add the games that they want to add to it. But then again it's all digital and when one day when inevitably the switch shop closes those games will all disappear once again
Dude, thank you! I used this guide after your Tiramisu video to get Gamecube and N64 games up and running on my Wii U! Thank you very much for all the info.
Note to other noobs out there: I don't think it's mentioned in the video, but for Wii64 don't forget to make a "saves" folder or else your games won't save! Put it in the same place as the Roms folder.
If I'm not mistaken I think after use it auto creates a save folder. I could be wrong though
My saving isn’t working for N64 emulator. I keep getting “Nothing to save”. I have my sd card as: sd/wii64/saves but it still doesn’t work. Can anyone help me please
I just got my Wii set up with USB loader my kids are having a blast playing the games.
Thank you for the awesome tutorial! I have seen other people say nintendont supports the wii u pro controller automatically but cant seem to get it to work on any of my games. I don't think you mentioned using the wii u pro controller with nintendont which is interesting. I will definitely be buying the mayflash adapter as I havent seen anyone else mention it as an option. Would love to play my GC games along my wii library via usb loader gx. Thanks again as a new subscriber!
Funny story, I also had a problem finding controllers that worked with this which is honestly what made me make this video lol
The mayflash adapter was the only one that seemed to work for me, I even tried the official Nintendo adapter and that didn't work either. Pretty weird!
I'll have a new tutorial coming out in a couple weeks on how to get gamepad support as well
Thanks for the response. I felt like I was the only one with this issue. Excited for the upload!
Yay new video. 👍
Fantastic!
Thank you
Awesome! This is what a lot of people was asking for and he delivered! Dude deserves a ton of credit for helping with the videos and doing his best to answer everyone's questions!
Thank you! That means a lot
Hey sorry to bother you again. I have a quick question, if I wanted to upgrade my SD card to a bigger size for more GC games can I just drag and drop the files from the old SD card to the new one? Or would I need to reinstall tiramisu?
You can just drag and drop the old files onto the new one 👍
I was wondering if you could use the Wii U gamepad to play the PS1 emulator?
Thanks for the video!
Would it be possible to play Double Dash through Nintendont with four players, using only wii/wiiU controllers (WiiU Gamepad, WiiU Pro Controller, Wii Pro Controller)?
Gamecube controllers are so expensive these days...
There is a way to use the Wii U gamepad/controllers but it's different from this tutorial
ua-cam.com/video/HD7cx3Xmuq4/v-deo.html
hey I just followed the hombrew tutorial and I was wondering how do I get wii u games on to it like wind waker HD.
hello was wondering if i need to jailbreak the vwii to be able to use gamecube with the wii u's gamepad thank you in advance and also do you have a tutorial on a new version of the gamecube i want to play it with a forwarder and the wii u's gamepad with the new jailbreak they have out thanks
Great video, thank you. Do you know if there's a way to play PSP games on a Wii U?
No I don't believe that Wii U has enough power to run a PSP game
@@BelowAverageGaming dang that makes me sad. Thanks man!
Thank you for this!! I was wondering, I was setting up the Nintendo 64 on my Wii U, and for the controller mapping, two of the options are "Left Z" and "Right Z". What is the difference between them? Nintendo 64 controllers only have one "Z" button.
It's most likely if you were using a third-party controller, then you could map to those buttons that would do the same thing
@@BelowAverageGaming Oh yeah. I got a third party N64 controller that connects to the Wii remote, and the Wii thinks that it is a Classic Controller. I totally forgot about that. But thank you!!
Question! I downloaded a Wii game from Vimm, but the file type is .wbfs instead of .iso. Do I need to convert it from .wbfs to .iso, or can I just name the file: game.wbfs ?
Hi this might sound like a really dumb question but do the game save on the sd card that is used to homebrew the game? If so what are file sizes for the games? Im mostly going to have afew wii u, wii games but mostly going to put alot of gamecube games on it
It's a mixture for everything, everything GameCube and lower will save to the SD card
Wii / Wii U games Will save to the console itself most likely
@@BelowAverageGaming thabks for reply man! Ok thats cool probs best getting a sd card over 60gb and a hdd for wii and wii u games then
Hey I was just wondering where you downloaded the ISO's from?
I didn't download them, that's illegal
I back up my physical cartridges and discs myself
Three questions:
1) I know some adapters aren't compatible. I don't own a Mayflash. Will YCCTEAM Wii Gamecube adapter work with virtual Wii?
2) Have you done a video about converting Action Replay Gamecube and Wii codes into a file that Nintendont will read?
3) If I'm running off an iso USB hardrive do I need to have all the contents of the SD on there as well?
Question one, I'm not sure I've only tried mayflash and the official Nintendo GameCube adapter. But there's no harm in trying it if you have it? It'd be good for me to know as well
Question two, I have not done a video covering that
Question 3, if you're running off of a USB then no you don't need to have the contents on the SD, I'm assuming you would be using USB loader at that point?
@@BelowAverageGaming Yes I would be and I believe I have to use it in Virtual Wii mode. So as long as I have the homebrew apps on the USB drive with the games I shouldn't need the SD card after installing all the apps?
I have to admit I'm curious about 2). An up to date video on converting codes from GameHacking to run in Nintendont and such would be really helpful as well.
Yeah so there's two ways you can go about playing GameCube games, you can go the SD route which will run on the Nintendont application (although I'm pretty sure it can read USB as well)
Or you can play your GameCube games through USB loader GX which has Nintendont built in, But then again it also doesn't matter there either because USB loader can read SD as well.
I think the worst case scenario for you is that you just have to put it on the SD but I think it'll be fine.
@@BelowAverageGaming Yeah am trying to get USB recognised but no luck. Worst case scenario my games will have to be kept on USB and when I want to play a game I will have to transfer it to SD.
1. It will not, it looks like only certain ones work, maybe because they're closer to the setup of the official one. I have several adapters and the only ones that work in vWii are the official one and Mayflash. YCC Team is neat because it's the only one that's on a single small PCB so it can be used for some projects.
2. I'm not sure about converting cheat codes but you can apply patches to roms to get some of this. I applied one to Sunshine that uninverts the right stick.
where do u find neocd bios?
Hi, I have a question. Is it normal for your SD card to not show up after following the homebrew tutorial on your channel? For some reason it won't show up on my PC anymore. Is it being hidden away?
Sounds like the SD reader on your computer could be broken, especially if it still reads on the console
You put the gamecube games in your external HDD right? For some reason, the GC games aren't launching for me. I put the GC and Wii games on my HDD and the Nintendont emulator files and tiramisu stuff on the SD card. I did the cIOS installer and everything and while the Wii games play fine in usbloader gx, the GC games on the other hand, it kept saying "usb : / games / was not found". I even used the nkit program to convert the files to iso and same thing happens. I'm trying to get the GC stuff to work on the Wii U. When I modded my Wii before, the Nintendont stuff worked just fine though the games were on the SD card.
My gamecube games are on the SD.
Try giving this a watch if you want them on your HDD
ua-cam.com/video/HD7cx3Xmuq4/v-deo.html
@@BelowAverageGaming That way of doing it is not something I want to do for so many GC games but since you can use an SD card that's more than 32GB, as long as it's FAT32 formatted, I'm using a 128GB Seagate SD card to hold the tiramisu mod plus all the GC games and I still have about 50GB left to add about 40 more titles if I don't put in any N64, SNES or Game Boy titles in the mix. The Wii games however stays on the HDD since it works just fine and I'm using usbloader gx for it all. I've also got a gamecube controller port adapter (4 ports) that works.
Honestly USB loader is kind of a pain sometimes and won't recognize game cube titles Often, did you look in the USB loader settings and check the Box for allow gc games?
@@BelowAverageGaming A pain huh? It seems to have been working fine for me since I started using it. The only thing I wasn't able to do was launch gc games due to the games being in the HDD rather than the SD card. Since I put the games and everything, other than Wii titles, on the SD card everything's worked out just fine in usbloader.
Well I'm glad it's running for you then!
What file type works best for N64? Mine are in z64 and wont open on wii64
yo, its got a funny title but this is some good info on the file types

I have a question about the "GameCube" at the end of ever emulator at 3:55 "VisualBoyAdvance" for example. If I download the one that says "GameCube" on it, can that mean my GameCube controller can work?
Yes, the gamecube controller will work with a mayflash adapter I believe
I just downloaded the "VisualBoyAdvanceGX-2.4.7.zip" and I installed it on my Wii U "vWii" and the GameCube Controller isn't working. I have a "Mayflash Adapter" and it says "MAYFLASH GC Controller Adapter", and as I downloaded "VisualBoyAdvanceGX-2.4.7-GameCube.zip" I has a "DOL" file in it "vbagx-gc.dol" file but is that for something with this?
Sorry for I commented too many time. YT just deleted my comment. But you can see it now!
Can u do the ultimate wiiu emulation guide?
All the emulators shown in this video is for the Wii U already
Are FCEUltraGX and Snes9xGX on vWii better for playing NES and SNES games than Retroarch on Wii U?
Both run about the same, so it's just personal preference
@@BelowAverageGaming I'm leaning towards Retroarch because FCEUltraGX and Snes9xGX seem to display too horizontaly stretched even with "16:9 correction" turned on, but they also load roms so much faster than Retroarch lol
Im trying to download the wii64 file but it shows a .7Z file instead of a zip, any idea why?
7z stands for 7 zip..
pro tip you can inject each game into the home menu icon
Got a tutorial for that, injections take longer
Why do you have to go through the virtual Wii to download Homebrew emulators? Are there no Wii U Homebrew emulators that aren't inside Retroarch?
Nope, you need the vwii
Or you can inject the games 1 by 1 Which is time consuming
Hi, I don't have an 'apps' folder on my sd card, I'm not sure if I missed a step but can I just create a new folder snd label it apps?
Yes, you can just create one 🤙
@@BelowAverageGaming thank you for responding! having looked in my wii u folder there is an apps folder inside that one, is it tge same to just add it in there?
No, the apps folder in the wii u folder is for wii u apps only.
Create a new folder on your root
Do u know usb helper, when i want to download ds or 3ds games it tells me if i dont have cbhc installed my wiiu brick, does it work with tiramisu?
USB helper is considered a piracy tool and I don't cover that on my channel, so I can't say
@@BelowAverageGaming oh i am sry, but still thanks for answering.
But is there a chance u make a tutorial on how to emulate the wiiu
Emulate the Wii U on what? PC?
@@BelowAverageGaming i know on the pc u are able to emulate wiiu games on cemu, but i ment do u know how to emulate like gamecube or snes or what ever games on the wiiu konsole it self
I'm still a little confused, there's gamecube emulation in this video which is on the Wii U lol
Unless you're talking about not on the virtual wii, If that's the case then yes I'll have a video coming out on that in the coming weeks
How do I boot a 2 disc GameCube game like resident evil 4? Does it happen automatically or do I press a button upon start up?
Should be fine to open as long as you have both parts in the same location
@@BelowAverageGaming it won’t tell me anything though? It will just boot up and that means both discs are working?
Did you try it?
@@BelowAverageGaming I’m just asking if there is any indicator that will show me both discs are present. Like a selection screen or if it’s just automatic.
On the main selection screen you should have an option to select both parts and work. If it doesn't work the game just won't load
Is it easier to emulate GameCube on Wii or Wii U? Overall, is one or the other better for emulating? Thanks.
It's about the same not much of a difference
cant see wii64 in the homebrew. whats the issue?
Your SD card file placement?
@@BelowAverageGaming ive tried 3 times and re-checked the video. I have other emulators with no sisues such as retroarch.
Im still using homebrew website exploit, could that be the issue?
That is a possibility, this works for me on v.5.5.6
can i use a ps4 controller instead of gamecube controllers?
For certain things perhaps, you'll have to find a way to pair it though
@@BelowAverageGaming thank u sm
do you sell systems?
Nope
@@BelowAverageGaming darn well looks like I have to hunker down and Thanos this sumbitch
Does a wii classic controller work for nintendont
I haven't personally tested it, but as long as it plugs into the wiimote I'm pretty sure it'll work
Okay I'll test it later and thx for the guide I'm definitely getting animal crossing and mario kart double dash
For some reason my iso is not showing up
Did you rename it?
@@BelowAverageGaming yes can I also ask where you got your gamecube iso's
Can you play the gamecube games with gamepad
I m pretty sure yea I have nintendont on my wii u and the gamecube games work with the wii u gamepad👍
@@xxbuschxx9647 Can you explain the process? I'm new to all these apps.
To my knowledge you can't, to do that would require you using injections instead of basic emulation which is a whole different can of worms
My saving isn’t working for N64 emulator. I keep getting “Nothing to save”. I have my sd card as: sd/wii64/saves but it still doesn’t work. Can anyone help me please
Not sure, make sure your SD card isn't broken or locked
