Hey Scott I need help downloading the homebrew app on wiiu can you help out

[@AverySeutter]

Yooooo, FunkyScott. Could you create an EASY GUIDE on how to setup the CUSTOM FONTS for the Wii U?? My sister really needs one. 😉

[@lemmyxpro]

HOLY CRAP, you're AMAZING, bro!!! I found your channel through a comment that you replied to under TWD98's day 4 KO tournament video, and i COULDN'T be happier! I've always really wanted Homebrew, but haven't been able to install it due to not having a laptop/computer & SD card, but now, this methos exists, and i couldn't thank you more! Too bad it's super late at night for me, but i'm trying this ASAP tomorrow, and i'm actually going to watch the full guide to play games on Wii video right now, too! Once again, thank you SO much!!! 😁

Please explain how to add games to this because I installed homebrew on the hard disk and not sd card now.. I mean I kinda managed to add them but super mario galaxy 2 appears in black and white and smg1 all black as the game didn't exist, if I opened it on dolphin it worked 100% correctly tho so it's something with the loader or something

Thanks so much Scott! I have nodded my Wii U and Wii thanks to you, but how am I to download homebrew apps without an SD card now though?

[@the_soup_king]

Hey Scott small question does it matter which letter it is like for e.g. your version is a 4.3U and my version has a different letter. Does that effect it in anyway? If so how do i change the letter?

[@funkyscott47]

That is just your wii's region, if you region unlock it with priiloader you can play other region games!

[@BranFlakes625]

So i have no why, but when using the wireless method i get up to where im waiting the 1 - 2 minutes for the installation to happen, but instead of getting the green glitchy screen, it boots up into Project M for super smash bros. I have no idea why.

[@PeytoBismol]

I’m confused. I used a hotspot from my phone to connect the Wii which it successfully connected just like the video. However, I manually change the DNS and it gives me an error code of 51030. Any tips on how I can fix this?

[@254IsntInYourHouse]

Who also thought the dns was gonna be pi

[@wozzle68]

Do you know if there is any classic style joysticks that I can plug into the wii (gc ports) that I could use for emulated games? I had a brain injury and don't have use of my right arm/hand any longer, so I thought the old fashioned jet pilot style joystick would allow me to play some games from my youth. :)

Help out pls :)

$5.99 for your Wii?!? What a good deal. Thank you for the video btw. Also, if memory serves me correctly: it's better to do this method with a non motion plus Wii remote aka ... the normal original manufactured white wii remote.

Hello, I've been planning to homebrew my wii for a while now and I would like to know if you need to format your Wii enteriley to work, honestly I don't want to lose all my data so I want to know if there is a way to hack it, get more games and still keep my old data

Hi Funkyscott, I recently have used your full guide for homebrewing my wii, but one of the games, raving rabbids 2 doesn't load in USB loader gx, as once I start it turns into a black screen, but the wii still runs yet I can't do anything, any tips?

[@DjAngelAlien]

Hey, do you think you can help me with something? So, a few months ago I followed you guide on how to home brew the Wii. Everything worked just fine. A few days later I downloaded some themes and I guess I downloaded a few too many themes and it caused my Wii to be semi bricked. It works but there's a black screen and the only way to play games now is to load that loader menu or whatever it's called. Is there a way to fix my Wii? If so, do you think you can help? If it's not too much to ask.

Most of the problems are because of the part of DNS. I suggest going back to the video and doing all the steps very carefully. Something similar happened to me. At first, it frozen. When I went to the "agreement" part, an error happened because I forgot o fo back and change the DNS settings as suggested by the video.
