Vwii Hacking Guide
Rosalyn Pomposo
Wondering if anyone in Brisbane or surrounds has done any of the Wii U hacking that allows for custom firmware, Wii U and original Wii game loading from USB drive and various other tricks. I have a fully softmodded Wii that I did myself, way, way back in the day. However, these days I just don't have the time, nor inclination to softmod consoles. It's all too much reading and stuffing around these days.
My 3 year old has just started to express an interest in games, so I have hooked up the old Wii to let him play some Wii sports and the like. He's loving it, and pretty soon, I will want him to graduate to the Wii U. I'd love to be able to USB load games simply so that he doesn't destroy my discs and the Wii U disc drive. Toddlers are not kind to consoles.
I can follow the steps, it's just a matter of finding the time to do it. Would rather just pay for a modding service. Ozmodchips don't seem to offer it, which is weird, as they do most other soft and hard mods.
Yes, the initial browser hack is easy, but is also unstable as hell on 5.5.2, which is what my Wii U is on. What's complex is all the stuff you have to do to get CFW running AFTER the initial exploit that allows you to install the Homebrew Channel. Things like installing a more permanent hack (so you don't have to run the browser hack every time and also enabling custom signing for USB loaders etc). Not to mention hacking vWii to enable USB loading of original Wii games.
I modded ours a year and a half ago using the more permanent system haxchi i think it is. it seemed fairly easy following the guides from memory. easy compared to original wii mod anyway hah. didnt bother added the vwii mod to thw wii u as we have a modded wii and never use it any more anyway.
The Wii U has two separate modes: The Wii U mode and the vWii (virtual Wii) mode. You can softmod the vWii mode to do almost everything the original Wii can do and Wii U softmods are currently in progress. I recommend these pages for links and updates:
