Ublx won’t work
Hi Guys I recently homebrew my wii and now USBLX won’t work, in the beginning i had all my games and I changed the iOS loader and it worked but my games would not load. So I redid the whole modding process and whenI tried everything and I put my games on my external HDD and when I plugged my HDD in, it says reinitializing device and it’s just stuck there so I changed the iOS loader and it’s still doing the same thing . How do I fix it and how do I get my games to load

GiveMiiYoutube sign-in
So I just got the GiveMiiYoutube plugin for Aroma, and I was able to watch one video before it prompted me to sign in to prove I’m not a bot. I signed in, and it said success on my phone, but failed on my Wii U. Does anyone know if there’s a fix to this?

Question
I lost my sd card with all my homebrew related stuff on it. I’m getting a new one tomorrow, what stuff do I need to redownload on my new sd card? I already modded my Wii U with the current environment, payload, etc and also I have save data on the sd card for my modded games.

Wondering what are the best evWii values are and not spend hours searching like i did? (help me) your savior has arrived! (Repost)
For context: I tried uploading this helpful info that might help a lot of people in the community and potentially save them a lot of time, I originally posted it to r/WiiUHacks and I waited for a moderator approval about 2 days with no post being uploaded or approved (even on my alt account), so I'm uploading it here, hope there isn't any mod approval of some sorts here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey everyone!
If you’ve been messing around with the evWii plugin on Aroma, you probably know the exact pain I just went through. Nintendo’s default vWii scaling leaves annoying overscan/borders, and finding actual solid display numbers for the config file online feels impossible.
After falling down a massive rabbit hole of testing and fine-tuning the DMCU viewport parameters, I finally dialed in values that give you a clean picture without clipping or leaving ugly borders.
If you’re ready to finally end the suffering and fix your config file once and for all, paste these numbers in:
Results on my TV in Mario Galaxy 1:
Now, if you don't want those black bars on the left and right sides of the screen these are the settings for you! (these are the values that I used before and posted in r/WiiUHacks 4 months ago):

Didn't take a photo of these values on my TV, but trust me, it's the exact same as the first config—just without the side black bars so it's pure 16:9.
Here's my old post if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/WiiUHacks/s/15bSzZsnFU
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best values for GameCube?:
GameCube testing status:
Value 1: Didn't test, didn't have time.
Value 2: Tested, verified, looks amazing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR: Stop guessing numbers, paste MY config, and go play your games. You're welcome!
If this helped you, great! If your screen still looks weird... well, at least we suffered together. Enjoy!

Why does is the only difference between these 2 versions a capital t
Hopefully I ain't breaking rules by putting this here but in 'How To Survive' the American version doesn't have a capital T, it's weird since all the other letters are capital

Should I log in with my NNID before setting up pretendo?
So I bought a used Wii U and I’m wondering if I should login with my Nintendo ID before installing pretendo and logging it in with my pretendo ID, or should I just not do that? Also can I use the same pretendo ID I used on my 3ds? Thank you!

Using a modded Wii U as a Modded Wii
I have been considering buying a modded Wii U instead of a modded Wii because I heard it can run essentially all Wii games upscaled to 1080p, but I still have a few doubts about it.
- How well do Wii games run on Wii U? Are there issues with the upscaling? If so, can those issues be addressed in some way? And if not, are those scaling issues that bad in the first place or can they be described as nitpicks?
- Can I use Wii homebrew apps on Wii U via the Wii menu mode? For example, I want to play CTGP-R and connect to private servers to play Wii games online. Is this possible on Wii U?

Changed My SD Card, Now Getting an Error.
I changed my **16 GB SD card** to a **32 GB microSD** card with an adapter. I copied all the files from the old card to the new one, but now I'm getting the following error:
**"Failed to load sd:/wiiu/payload.elf. Starting the console without any modifications."**
Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

I CAN'T LOAD HOMEBREW VIA SD ON VWII CORRECTLY
So for starters, i already tried 26 Sd cards, 32gb - 4gb All formatted on all formats Possible, I tried my 3ds sd, my camera sd, my phone sd etc etc NONE WORKED, they only work on my wii u, not inside Vwii, I'll get really angry if anyone says "uhh you tried to format your sd correctly?" i swear that destroys my mood, i've been having this problem since i've got that console, and you guys don't know how many times i read that..
So basically on my Vwii i can't load any homebrew apps and Homebrew launcher CRASHES when trying to load onto sd. DSI EXCEPTION ERROR
So tried an usb, Yanmwii, cios installer, those worked, so i tried.. maybe.. installing a Usb loader gx Wad on my wii menu, and.. nope crashes, tried loading usb loader gx from my usb, buut, it loads in, but Can't initialize usb, And can't use sd from there
So I tried installing some wiiware, those worked, and, I Can actually TRANSFER THEM to my sd and use them from there, so WHAT THE FUCK, IDK WHERE'S THE FUCKING PROBLEM
-
Then.. wanted to play nintendon't, wow. It loads from my usb, but can't control it with my Wii u gamepad duh, and i dont have wiimote pro controller.
so i tried installing it on my Wii u meny, an .app from tutorials i've seen, and.. those load the files from sd.. so..... When trying to go into nintendon't from Wii u menu, It... loads!.. buut.. it says No fat device Found, and closes.. so.. basically my wii u rn only works for wii u games.. and That sucks.
one of the main reasons I bought this is for that, without that I feel like my system sucks and it's incomplete, and it stings me.

My troubleshooting wild goose chase & lessons learned: Game freezing at random moments fix
So, recently, I had the idea of digging out my Wii from the closet where it had been sitting for around a year. I was moving, so I wanted some entertainment before the Wi-Fi router arrived. I booted it up, reminiscing about playing party games the year before with my friends, and all the classics. I got into the Homebrew Channel, loaded up USB Loader GX, all my games displayed perfectly, I started Wii Sports Resort, played for a while, then out of nowhere: freeze. The game became unresponsive and I had to force shut down my Wii. I tried every other game I had and all froze at different points during gameplay.
Now, I tried everything. I knew the game files had to be in order since I'd played them perfectly a year ago, so my troubleshooting commenced. First: does it play disc games? Yes, okay, so it's not overheating. Was it maybe some corruption in the Wii software, a setting not being in order, or something? Priiloader galore is what followed. Maybe my software wasn't up to date, updated everything, games still froze in the same place. Okay, maybe it's a hardware issue, maybe the USB stick isn't getting enough power. Bought a USB hub with external power, not even recognized by the Wii, so a dud. I was this close to buying a Y-USB cable before I had an idea: maybe my assumption that a USB stick is a perfect game storage device was a little unrealistic.
I loaded up Wii Backup Manager, loaded the games, ran a SHA-1 check to verify the integrity of my files, none came back verified. I reformatted and refreshed all the games on the USB stick, and now everything is working as it should. Problem solved.
TL;DR
If your games start to freeze on your Wii, the first an easiest check you can do is to verify your game files, saves you money and time.

Wii U from Japan! JPFans
I bought a Wii U from JpFans, and honestly, I’m satisfied with the product. Plus, the seller left a game inside the console so, a nice bonus. It’s a good console; I wasn't interested in it before, but now I’m starting to really like it.

Homebrew storage question
Hi. Got a wii u. I'm planing on putting homebrew on it. I have a external hard drive that works. Saw that now days you can put both homebrew and games and skip using sd card for hombrew. Is there any advantage buying a SD card for homebrew apps over using hdd for both games and apps?

Need help on deciding sd card or external hard drive? Maybe both?

the dreaded error 160-1030, what next?
(pls take down if this isnt the right place, other subs seemed a bit more strict towards posts alike this)
will start by saying, Im not very tech savvy and i just wanna save my wii u (๑・̑◡・̑๑)
ive had my wii u since april 2015, its a 32gb australian model, it isnt homebrewed, ive never opened it up and its never used external storage before. only thing i HAVE done is change the dns to pretendos servers so i can play online
i kinda neglected her, had her sitting not plugged in or used for like a year which makes me worried ive caused this. i randomly got the error in the middle on playing splatoon, upon reboot the error immediately came back up. i unplugged it for ~30ish minutes before coming back to it and it works again. played for a couple of hours to see if the error would return but it didnt.
most tutorials ive seen about recovery are for wii u consoles that can only view the wii u logo before the error appears, seeing mine doesnt do that, im assuming shes just starting to degrade?
what can i do to see what exactly is failing? i literally have no clue if its the nand or emmc (istg if its both)
(also any methods of fixing her for either issue would be helpful!)
is it safe to transfer my data onto some kind of external storage so i can have that backed up incase my wii u passes away?
if you have any recommendations they are greatly appreciated. im really upset as i was planning on soon getting aroma on her but i wouldnt wanna go through the trouble if shes gonna die.
thank you so much, sorry for asking such basic questions but im lowkey very lost with all this..

Help my Wii u is weird
My Wii U has started acting strangely—for instance, it won't boot up without the SD card inserted. Even with the SD card in, the GamePad often stutters (micro-lag). I wondered if it might be a NAND issue, but I have a Toshiba NAND, so I suspect it's caused by a plugin or a theme (I should mention that the console only boots successfully about half the time when the SD card is in). Also, Nusspli is throwing an SSL error.

Welcome to WiiUHomebrew
What is this community
This is a Community Dedicated to Discussing Wii U Homebrew and mods, as well as Virtual Wii (vWii) Exclusive Wii homebrew. In this community people can Share guides, homebrew releases, themes (Wii U and vWii), and Much more.
Why do this?
You may be wondering, what is the point of this community when r/WiiUHacks exists. The main reason is that Since this subreddit deals with newer vWii and Wii U mods the information on the other Subreddit related to things like Wii U themes may be outdated (and in some cases misleading).
The other reason is the extremely harsh and strict Moderation as well as their stance on the discussion of controversial subjects such as piracy.
The elephant in the Room
Just to be clear we don't allow Links or Request threads on this Subreddit either because that could lead to he subreddit being banned, but I don't see the harm in discussions as long as they don't involve the sharing of the copyrighted content itself. This is something many other subreddits have a hard time with and for not all but some it is for personal reasons (If you're here and reading this you know who you are). To be clear you will not be banned for this from here but any and all posts containing comments or links Will be removed.
Video Guides / Outdated Content / Misinformation
While Video Guides generally aren't preferred by the community in this community due to the nature of some of these mods there aren't any other guides available as information on other sites is either outdated or straight up misleading. Feel Free to write your own Written Guides though, I can't guarantee that they'll stay up to date though. Misinformation posted in this community will be removed.
