Here's a little trick to set up the vWii: you don't need a tv and sensor bar, the gamepad can be used to replace those and has itself an integrated sensor bar.

[@marckremers]

This is a golden tutorial, props, and mega thanks.Just can't believe I got so far, to 17:48, and got blocked by the fact I don't have a Wii Remote, only the pro controller. Def mention that being a need in the process early on for the update! But fr, this was such a great tut, thanks a lot.

Hello there, quick question. Can Nusspli app be downloaded from the HB App Store? Thanks !

[@ElricKinslayer]

Scott, thanks so much for making your videos. They are truly invaluable. I do have a specific question in regards to GBA emulation. I am having speed issues with VBA-GX on my Wii U and want to try mGBA. Problem is I get a black screen on start up, tried both Tiramisu and Aroma. Any help would be appreciated, as I haven't been able to find any answers in my own research and Troubleshooting. Thanks again.

[@nikolaibrzezinski7152]

Hi @FunkyScott47. Thank you so much for this walkthrough. I modded my Wii U successfully. I also did a physical mod by installing a 2tb SSD drive inside the console itself. I noticed that the Homebrew apps disappear once I remove the SD card from the console and boot it up. I'm assuming they are stored only on the SD card. Is there a way to move them to my internal SSD that I installed?

[@mandudeguy4569]

Hey, FunkyScott, thanks for the awesome tutorial! It was real easy to follow & I've been wanting to Homebrew my Wii U for a while now! Question: I saw the video on how to add content to the Wii U; how do you add content to the vWii? Do I have to download additional software?

[@funkyscott47]

Awesome to hear! and for the wii, you can use a wad manager (I suggest YAWM modmii edition) to install wads to your vwii. If you want to play games, you can set up usb loader gx or Wiiflow :)

[@mandudeguy4569]

@@funkyscott47 Thanks! Do you think you could send over a link to the WAD manager?

This may be a stupid question, but I followed your previous guide from this year. I was wondering, do I have to redo any of this since you updated the guide?

nope you dont have to redo anything :) the guide just changed formats so i had to fix my video

I have a Apple MBP with a SD card slot, so am I right in understanding that I don't need the USB adapter mentioned at 0:57 right?

[@wpet86]

can i do this if i already have tiramisu installed? (btw thanks for all your guides they turned my wiiu and vwii into game monsters)

[@jeffcrossfire14]

Funkyscott47. I followed your guide a couple years ago and added the virtual Wii and homebrew. It work fine til about a month ago. Now it doesn’t load the games from the external hard drive. I’m not sure if my 7 year old son may have hit something and messed it up or what. When I look at the hard drive on pc all games are still there. Do you have any suggestions? Can I follow this guide and set it up again after I have already setup home brew previously?

[@KakarottingChrist]

Hey dude. Love your channel! So I modded my wiiu last week, and now trying to get forwarders to my wiiu homescreen for Nintendont and USB loader. I cant seem to find a newish video anywhere so I used your "BEST Wii U Homebrew Channels (Boot2vWii) USB Loader GX, WiiFlow, CTGP-R, Nintendont Wii U Channel" video, but as others also have commented, I also get booted back to the wiiu homescreen after 10-15 seconds. Is that video, or the links outdated or is it something to do with your mentioning the "Id and uninstall that", and I'm not techy, so if I dont see you doing it on screen I'm not doing it! ;) Any help, ideas?

[@KillaCyst]

my wii u is rebooting on anything to do with the vwii

[@sethmorrison9476]

What is the type of USB drive you used that has a SD reader on the side? The one in the description does not look like this.

[@YaStepDaddyy]

hey funky scott... will you do a video guide on how to uninstall the cfw and bring the 3ds back to its original state? Please answer this and thank you for being trustworthy so far...

[@joseinciarte3393]

Can you do a CTGP R tutorial for vWii?

[@pizzapizza247]

I used a 32 GB SD card and ran out of storage space during mlc part 14's download. I've got everything else and mlc parts 1 through 13. Should I re-dump the Nand, or should I just ignore that?

[@Borrootje]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial but is there anyway to get my wii games on the home page of the vWii? I meand that i dont have to load up something like wiiflow? And, is there anyway i can download wii u and wii u games on my console itself without having to download it on my Sd card first??? Ty for the great tutorial btw

[@hamtuk4823]

yo I got a question so at 10:00 when the whole Naand thing is if i did it without the MLC accidentally and wanted to do it with the MLC, is it fine if I redo that part of going to internet browser and going back and clicking yes for MLC and doing it again?

[@Therap3]

I'm coming from Tiramisu, when i switch to aroma environment i have two sets of homebrew apps (eg. Savemii wut) is it ok to delete the tiramisu version or should I just leave it alone?

[@TonyNes64]

Personally, I've only stayed with the Aroma version of each app. I think you can delete the Tiramisu ones, if you don't plan on using them anymore That being said, if an app doesn't exist as a .wuhb, it'll be better for you to keep the old version

[@Toadcraft_splate]

@FunkyScott47 have we need a 5.5.6 wii u ?

[@Gjettios]

Love the tutorial so far. WiiU Homebrew worked great. But when i loaded up vWii after installing Homebrew d2x installer didn't show. Any ideas on how to fix?

[@handendarsebbe]

When i did the NAND backup there were only 14 mlc files and it seemed like there was an error with the download to the SD. The MicroSD card said there were only 29.8 gb available i think. Is this a problem? Otherwise everything seems to be included

[@maxencepoulard2106]

Hi thanks for your videos, recently I can't play games on the Wii U (tells me the network ID was erased), I tried replacing the sigpatches but didn't work. I came up to the conclusion that my hacked Wii u was not up to date, how/ should I erased everything related to the hack so that I can re hack with this new Tuto for a fresh start? Please answer I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown lol

[@doof23]

please help, everytime i try installing Compat installer for my vwii whenever i press Home after it installs it just freezes

[@cesarhernandez9557]

Can i do this if i have tiramisu already? Like you do in your video of CFW upgrade tiramisu to aroma

17:30 When I press 'A' to install, it tells me that it installed successfully. However when I press the home button, the console freezes completely. Is there a fix for this?

[@reye-yo8wi]

Just fixed it. I turned off then turned on the wii u and it worked. It was indeed installed successfully

[@BonbonTB47]

​@reye-yo8wi Finally it worked 😭 Someone told me to do that on the discord but unfortunately for me it still wouldn't show up. I decided to take a break for a couple days and decided to try it again right now, and thankfully it worked! Not sure why it didn't work the first few times but oh well I guess 😅

[@toat_]

Do you cover themes in this video? The last guide you made hasn't worked for me

If one of my WiiU gets a 160-0103 when trying to go into the system settings mean the nand is shot? I tried the raspberry pi pico method to fix it with no luck. Wondering if modding it would fix it or it's done for?
