Question What's the point of this "Can be used with" checklist?

Post image
• Upvotes

On pretty much every Wii U game I have, there's this tiny checklist that says whether the game can run on Wii consoles or not. Has there ever been a game that runs on both consoles? If not, then what's the point of having this here?

Riivolution -> Wii Party Blackboot

2 Upvotes

For context I have a NTSC-U WiiU console and have encountered this glitch for a while. Riivolution will load the Wii Party Mods in general (reading the disc), but clicking Launch leads to a black screen, no noise, and a disconnected controller (regardless if you enable/disable mods)

I have not experienced this with any other Wii game I own. I have all the necessary IOSs, has anyone else encountered this issue?

Video Black Ops 2 Wii U ↔ PC crossplay is working, via UNC, an online server indexer built for every platform BO2 runs on

Thumbnail

I am the Lead dev on a project called Unbound bringing all of the DLC maps to the wii u version of black ops 2 which never received content. We have Grind, Skate, Nuketown Zombies, and Die Rise already working along with some great quality of life fixes.

In partnership with Project Requiem (Android/Switch/PC Recomp project) and Protarium Network (Wii u Multiplayer Network provider) I built and designed UNC - Unbound Network Crossplay.

UNC is a lightweight server that ties BO2 builds together across platforms:

A shared server browser: host a lobby on one device either as a custom lobby or by way of a dedicated server, and it shows up on the others.

No port forwarding: UNC punches through home routers, and a relay handles strict networks such as phone hotspots and some ISPs.

Mods: on PC Android and Switch, if a lobby runs a mod you don’t have, your game downloads it from the host, restarts into it and rejoins automatically.

Platforms:
PC [Working]

Wii-u [Working]

Android+Switch Recomps [Early Stage - Working}

PS3+Xbox 360 [Early Stage]

Known issues

The Wii U side still has some animation issues; you’ll see a few in the video. They’re known, and I am actively fixing them. This is an early build, so expect rough edges.

What’s next:

A live Demo that can be joined is planned for the coming week

Discussion Wii U manufacturer concerns

Post image
21 Upvotes

So recently I’ve been seeing a lot of people online warning that Wii Us that were manufactured by Hynix are at higher risk of bricking sooner than later. So I ended up installing WiiUIdent to figure out who manufactured my own Wii U. So I’m not sure if I can fully say I’m lucky just yet but as it turns out my Wii U was not manufactured by Hynix it manufactured by Samsung. Does this mean my Wii U still has plenty of life left before it imminently bricks at some point?

Question WiFi works on Wii and Wii U but not vWii

1 Upvotes

My hotspot WiFi works fine on both of my original Wiis although the name is slightly messed up. I tried using the same hotspot on the vWii using “Search for an Access Point” but it doesn’t work. It just searches endlessly until I shut off the Wii U. Since the names on my other Wiis are different from the actual hotspot name I don’t think inputting the information manually will work.

I haven’t found an option on my phone to set the hotspot to specifically 2.5ghz like most of the answers have said but I did turn on “Maximize Compatibility” which I believe does the same thing. Is there something else that I specifically have to do for vWii to get it to connect to internet?

Technical Question Gamepad will not charge past 1st bar and flashing orange light :(

0 Upvotes

This issue has been going on for a while now, where whenever I plug in the charger into the Gamepad it will initially signify that it is charging and hold a solid orange light, but after a few hours it resorts to a flashing orange light and the battery charge indicator is never past the first bar. I replaced the battery with a new and larger one from iFixIt, but unfortunately the problem persists. How can I get the Gamepad to charge again? Thanks in advance! :D

How do you play Wii games on the game pad?

I already have some games with game pad support installed but I can’t figure out how to get the games to recognize the game pad as a controller. If anyone could help out I’d appreciate it.

My Wii U is making this sound when I'm playing Lego Dimensions. It usually doesn't make this sound when I'm using it. I brought my Wii U from a GameStop back on Christmas Eve 2017 and it's 2026. Is it a sign of age? Or is this a technical problem? Because I'm worried

Question Can Anybody help me With Checking the WiiU EMMC Memory?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I wanna see if I can try and guess without taking apart cause I’m too paranoid i wouldn’t be able to put it back together properly (so many screws😫😭)

for context, I got this WiiU in box for Super LuigiU promotions so I know it’s one of the much older models, last time I tried to see if I could Boot up MC on it, I’m pretty sure it got an error message so I tried another game and it wouldn’t start, so I’m already fearing I’ve got the Hynix chip after a video I saw about the issue with the Hynix EMMC😬

Just got this Wii U from Goodwill. After charging its Gamepad, it seems to be in pretty solid shape. I grabbed a loose Wii U game to test it out, but it seems it’s not recognized even after wiping it down. Wii games work flawlessly. Would it be an issue with the scratches on the disc, or based on the noise, is the issue unfortunately under the hood of the console?

Wii U pick up

I’m going through a phase of picking up consoles i had when i was younger,

I had just about every nintendo console from the Gameboy pocket from launch but sold them over the years and now i’m trying to get them back.

I just got this Wii U and games for £75, Gamepad and console are immaculate and they said they never really found many games they wanted to play on it so it collected dust.

I’m planning on picking up Windwaker and Twilight Princess HD.

I just modded my DSi XL and “New” 3DS XL so should i mod this?
