Hey can you please help me I bought a Maxone hard drive like you suggested but it’s not even showing up when I turn on my Wii U

[@SnoddasJensen]

is it safe to install games on a HDD and then transfer them to the nand with the wii u data manager in setting.

[@starnixx9047]

⁠​⁠@@Poncho2007you need an Y usb cable. Your hard drive needs more power because the usb ports on the wii u are low power.

Great vid (definitely liking)! But where do I place the install folder? Wup installer keeps giving me no downloadable content.

same and i have the sig patch

[@tonyhernandez5158]

@@Randomperson-b4k9b I kept having the same issue. For me, I realized when you download multiple games from it, not every file downloads into the game. Check one of the downloads to see if there’s only a few files in it. Once I redownloaded the games a few at a time, it worked

[@PulcioITA]

Hey Scott! I have a question… can I delete from my SD the game after I installed it with Wup installer aroma

[@Trident-f7d]

You can only do that if you install it through NAND, if you use a USB then the game you deleted will also be gone in the Wii U

[@milesprower9778]

You can delete it from the SD card after you installed it to USB or NAND or HDD, I checked myself 😁👍

Quick question, when I try to put the Wux files into the folder, it keeps telling me they're too large. So what do i do?

[@Korian679]

Nothing appears on my wup menu. Install folder in lowercase on my sd root; wii u folder with wup in it; no special characters on the game folder’s name. It just doesn’t work

[@jonfin1017]

Please show us what hard drives we can also use for the Wii as well

[@davidklostermanjr1902]

Should be the same for the wii, they are both the same console, I have one hdd for wii u games and one for wii and gamecube. Since you can't really have all 3 on the same drive(outside of wii/gc vc), the wii u with usb loader gx will play wii and gamecube fine, everything else like vc, wii u games, etc should be in the same place, if you need to know where to get Wii U games/dlc/updates, you can get NUSSPLI or Wii U downloader.

[@Awesomeness4627]

Use a high endurance micro sd card with a USB adapter, low power no moving parts and super small

[@Cyberdyne_research]

3D nand SSD is the way to go. Make sure to format to fat32 for the Wii.

[@limitlessboy6423]

If its from nintendo then it should work. GC games should also work with it. You need to use a wii mote instead of the gamepad to deactivate the gamepad.

[@BlocGAY11]

I know this video is six months old and I’m having lots of trouble. I have installed the installer from the homebrew App Store and it keeps coming off the exact same error about how they can’t locate in installation folder and I can’t do it the homebrew channel way because when I click on the me maker, it doesn’t have the home channel so I’m just really confused and I just want to install breath of the wild. :(

[@ERRAFO]

My game is bigger than 4 gb what do I do?

[@VaultedR]

same

[@bjjm9772]

So... If you plug an external HDD, it won't work anymore in a PC?... And what if you'd like to install a bunch of games?... You may need to drag out the SD card from the WiiU, get the installer in there and rinse and repeat the process until you're satisfied or fulled out the HDD?

[@ikatheinkling]

I have a few questions about this: 1: Is homebrew required in order to do this? 2: You mention you have games on your Wii U folder backed up that you will extract into the SD card, how did you get said files? Is there a way I can look for other files to extract on there? 3: How can I find files to extract to the SD card? 4: Some of the files I want modded in are downloadable content for a game already on my Wii U. Does DLC files still count as regular game files? As in, when it’s being downloaded on the Wup GX2 will it automatically get put into the game?

[@super-tian]

1. Yes 2. I don't know what you mean 3. The easiest way is explained in the video 'You NEED to Get THIS if You Have a Wii U!! (Wii U Downloader)' by this creator 4. Yes

[@Stahlfresser]

I have a few answers about this: 1. Yes, aroma is recommended and he has a guide 2. He uses backups because he doesn't want to explicitly mention any rom sites. Use either 7-zip or WinRar to extract from the zip files. 3. Use a trusted site like Myrient, or ask for the page from someone who uses it. 4. Don't know, haven't tried yet.

[@yusoalcubo721]

Just a little cuestion, why isn't it recommended to use a flash usb instead of an external hard drive?

[@KingDupue]

what to do if it just sits at the installing screen and no progress is made? No bytes are being transferred to my external usb hdd. I have about 10 other games on the drive, i can access them, manage them, play them just fine. This used to work just fine for me. Now the install does nothing.

[@funkyscott47]

you could try remaking the wup file, i've had that happen for a download i tried to install and i just got it from a different source and it worked

[@jackipiegg]

0:28 There's really no other way to install other than having an sd card as the middle man? That's pretty inefficient, also to fill up 2tb, your sd card would probably die by then.

Hey so I've been following your guides pretty much all day and they've been really helpful I'm just confused as to what the external hard drive is for and if I really "NEED" it or is it suggested. I have all of my games pretty much installed on my SD (128 GB) so with all that space would I really need the hard drive? could I not just install on nand instead of USB?

[@tsuyuasui7297]

Wii u games overtime will just destroy your usb drive hardware, it's recommend to get a SSD

Hey scott! I used your guide and got my Wii U fully modded but i'm having problems with Wup installer. I keep getting errors like the one where it says no usb storage connected but i do have an external 500 gig hooked up with a Y cable. Then there's another where the install just fails to finish. Any advice?

[@Nogger177]

Probably havent formatted the hard disk on the wiiu there should be an option in the wiiu settings. (If not formatted to the wiiu format the console doesnt recognize it) and when you format you will delete all of your files so take out the things you have in the hard disk before formatting

[@jasondillon2462]

@@Nogger177 The external hard disc i have connected is already set up for my wii u though. It has alot of my eshop downloads on it from when i used my system regularly back in the day. I thought I'd be able to add wup installer to it or whatever else i wanted without re formatting the whole drive since there's still plenty of free space left on it. About 200 gigs actually. Can a separate USB flash drive be used to store wup installer if i connected that and formatted?

[@Nogger177]

@@jasondillon2462 not sure, because if you have a flash drive and a hard disk wup installer probably wont recognize both, i recommend wiping the hard disk if those eshop files and game saves arent that important.
