Great video, I'm just about to mod my 2nd wiiU with coldboot haxxchi (first was with mocha) I'll install nintendont for sure, I have a potential external hdd if I can get it working, how do I put gamecube games onto the hard drive for the wiiU? Because it obviously formats usb devices that you plug in and then the file format becomes unreadable by computer?

@SacredMirror no I unzipped and did exactly everything I needed to. What ended up working was renaming the "game.iso" to just simply "game". so i.e., for me, it was: USB> Games> SuperMarioSunshine> game very odd, but yes, not "games.iso" but again, "games" really hope this helps someone out there

If you don't have any homebrew (hack) installed yet you will need to do that first. Go to wii.guide/ for a tutorial on that. You'll want to follow that guide to the "cIOS" section. That is what you need to play backups.

[@scottrichard036]

Thnx . Yes I already have homebrew on it . I just need whatever after to get Cube games ?

If you want gamecube ISOs just go to www.emuparadise.me/Nintendo_Gamecube_ISOs/42 you'll get whatever you want there

[@scottrichard036]

Thank you

[@scottrichard036]

Hope ya got it going . Ya need a sys folder with the game folder on each . It boots the game ? Just have 1 folder called Super Mario Sunshine , then copy & paste the game iso into it and make sure to name the iso game in lowercase then patse in a sys folder which should have , app loader , file and a bi2 file and a boot file . All contained in the folder named sys . So when you open your folder Called Super Mario Sunshine that you made , you should have 1 folder called sys closed and the iso pasted below it named game . I'm learning also and it gets frustrating but we learn it pretty quick . Good luck . If ya get stuck , there must be a way to email the setup ?
