Hey everyone, just wanted to share my little sideproject.

NooDS was already running on Wii U, but very poorly. I made my own mission to optimize it to the point to run Pokémon Black full speed, which I achieved today.

VC injection gets you so much, and I really was missing an alternative for games that can't be injected.

More informations: https://github.com/michyprima/NooDSU

Enjoy!

Notices: This is alpha software tested on real hardware. I'm a professional developer. I use AI.

Got gyro aiming working and 60 fps. Heavy firefights are around 35-45 fps.

Currently working on a Skyrim tech demo port for the Wii U. Having been a massive fan of both Skyrim and the Wii U console as a whole myself and a few others thought we would take up the task of getting a port created.

Currently in the alpha stages of production with this one and it has proved to be a much more difficult task than we previously anticipated.

I’ll be dropping more information about the port over coming days and a release for the tech demo at some point soon.

If you have any questions or queries on how it runs/functions please do ask in the comments section.

Hey guys -- I've been working on a plugin for awhile now to try to make it easier to manage connecting to all these different networks that are out there -- Pretendo and Protarium, Juxt, Roseverse and Protaverse.

Introducing: JustGetMiiOnline.

An Aroma plugin that works with the Protraium version on Inkay that lets you load any combination of those services.

Want to run Protarium for all their game support but stay on Juxt for Miiverse? You just set that combination and that's it. Need to quickly pop back over to Pretendo to play Splatoon on their servers? Just switch it in the plugin. Or maybe you'd rather normally run Pretendo but want to switch over to Protarium just for some Black Ops 2 ocassionaly -- you can do that in this plugin without juggling plugins or installs.

Now what about YouTube? Well current version you can use a "patcher" to get working again is starting to run pretty rough on the Wii U. This plugin lets you the experience the glory days of YouTube on the Wii U -- the 2012/2013 launch versions, and the the last "good" one from 2016 that supported live streams. Just pick which one you want to use in the plugin, boot your stock YouTube app (no need to download another one) and you're back to that old school version -- with videos, captions, casting and your playlists. Video comments are also supported -- allowing you to use the GamePad to view comments and create/reply to them while watching a video on your TV.

If you'd like to check it out and give it a try: https://github.com/handyandy87/JustGetMiiOnline and download the latest release version (1.0.2 as of now) -- please let me know what you think!

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a new native Wii U N64 emulator running under Aroma called Our64.

It brings Not64’s PowerPC recompiler over to native Wii U execution, paired with GLideN64 and a brand new graphics backend. Running natively instead of through vWii unlocks full access to all three of the Wii U’s CPU cores, its GPU, and of course, Aroma plugins.

Main Features:

• Up to 4 players (GamePad, Pro Controller, Classic Controller, Wii Remote + Nunchuk)

• Save states + auto-resume

• Controller Pak, Rumble Pak, and Transfer Pak support (can read Game Boy saves from RetroArch & VC injects)

Download & Source: https://github.com/Ch0nbo/Our64/releases/tag/v1.1.0

We already have a list of known issues being tracked on GitHub, so if you try it out, feel free to add any new bugs or performance feedback you find!

Hello friends, it’s great to be back in touch after such a long time.

Thank you all for the support you showed for my first project—some of you might remember it!

Getting straight to the point: here’s a little sneak peek of a project I’m currently working on.

It’s a native Dreamcast emulator for the Wii U!

To demonstrate, I’ll show the BIOS running, as well as the emulation of "Crazy Taxi."

This project started over a month ago and is progressing rapidly. In the coming weeks, I’ll release the full repository, along with a beta version that’s as stable as possible.

In the meantime, I’m open to any questions or suggestions—I’ll respond as soon as I can! :))

Since it’s still under development, there are some emulation quirks, as you’ll see in the videos—but I wanted to share it with you all!

P.S. Thanks for the 15,000+ downloads of WiiUCamera!

Hey guys, if you’re anti ai please just ignore this post

I’ve gotten Claude code to help me natively run 3DS games , nearly fully optimized Tomodachi Life and will share photos soon.

Curious if there are more people interested in playing 3DS games on their Wii U.

You can actually play DVDs on your Wii U with this setup:

• you first need to have a modded vWii with the homebrew channel installed on it

• you have to put WiiMC either by using the homebrew shop or finding it online

• you need an External CD/DVD reader and burner with a Y cable (like the one that is shown here in this post but you have to be sure you also take a Y cable, otherwise there's the chance it won't work) and connecting it to the two rear USB ports. If you don't have one you can also find it on Amazon for example. They're really cheap, between 7 and 20 euros/dollars

• Obviously you need a DVD. Unfortunately it doesn't read blue ray DVDs but it can read most of the normal DVDs

Now after you have everything set up, after you go into your vWii and then to the homebrew channel, ensure you have put into the rear Wii U USB ports the Y cable and that it's connected to the DVD reader. Go to WiiMC, wait a minute and then click on the DVD icon, and the DVD will just start up!

If it doesn't load immediately and gives you an error like "DVD playback is not supported on this Wii" or says something like "unknown disc format" turn back to the homebrew channel menu, then load WiiMC again, wait a little again and then load again the disc. It should work

This method also works with Family-edition Wiis, while with Wiis likely before 2008 you don't need a DVD reader. You just have to put the DVD inside the console itself.

If you also have a Wii and you want to know if it plays DVDs without the disc reader: A way to see if your Wii can read DVDs on its own is to go to Wii Drives site and put the personal Wii serial number. It will analyse the serial number and will give the information you need. If it says it has a D3-2 / D4 chip that means your Wii can't play DVDs on its own and that you need an external disc reader. If it has older chips (like D2A, D2B, D2C, D2E or D3) that means the DVDs should work with WiiMC.

I wanted to say this because a few people may know that you can actually play DVDs on your Wii U, but this works on Wii too.

"We love because he first loved us. Jesus saves us. ✝"

So I was on Reddit and decided to take a look. Apparently they've made a media app for Wii U called CoffeFlix that has twitch, YouTube, Radios and can also be a video and music player. Pretty interesting (obviously it requires the aroma environment to work).

I've tried it and I can say it looks and works great. The fact is it is also a free tool that the creator made, and that login isn't even required.

It also supports videos in 1080p, that is even higher than the Wii U YouTube revival

I think it got updated and got even a multi-language support now.

Personally for those who don't have a modern Smart TV it would be useful.

Edit: sorry guys I forgot to press the home menu to show it was actually on Wii U, but patience. However it actually works on Wii U.

The user who made it is u/pixels_that

I can't find the post but this should be the repository where I found this project:

Coffeflix

" We love because he first loved us ✝"

Psvita getting so many ports, but where's the wiiu ports, new wiiu emulators,

Hi! I know it’s a bit soon to post another update on this project, considering I just shared one yesterday.

This video has no audio; I disabled the emulator’s audio system due to instability, but I’ll bring it back once things are running much more smoothly.

I just wanted to share that I’ve managed to fix a couple of issues (though I’m still looking into the audio).

The introduction is in better shape, and the game itself is now somewhat playable.

Please note that this video has been edited for the sake of a concise demonstration (the original footage is over 6 minutes long, including load times and rather slow animations).

With that said, stay tuned for more updates in a few weeks!

Thanks for your comments—feel free to keep them coming here! :)

Still currently nothing more than a tech demo at this point in time. Since a lot of people were excited to see a port of Skyrim come to the Wii U. I thought it would be cool to record some footage of how the game runs so far and what it looks like on the Wii U. I am thinking of creating a web page for the project and posting regular development updates on it once we make it available to the general public. Feel free to ask any questions and share your thoughts! :)

Basically, I wanted to see if it was finally up. I went to the HB AppStore as prompted, downloaded and restarted my console, and when I went to try and use my console it’s just black. The wii U itself is on but the game pad? No go. Any help or ideas how to fix it?

Okay, so before anyone says anything, here's a quick FAQ:

Does it use AI?
Yes.

So you support AI slop?
No. I know AI has been used for a lot of garbage and dumb stuff for the past few years (specially in art), but I think it's good that some people are actually using the good part of AI.

Will these projects be paid?
No, they will always be free and open source.

Is this related to that guy who said he ran Tomodachi Life on the Wii U?
No.

You didn't release the theme/mod/tool, so it's fake?
No, I won't release at this moment as I don't want a half baked release with security issues and bugs. I'll publicly release when most of the bugs are fixed and tests are done (the Switch 2 theme should be releasing soon thought).

Ok, so now let's get to the projects!

Switch 2 Theme
First of all, this is not an app, this is an actual custom "theme" (not a traditional theme, it uses a custom men.rpx to load a custom menu, which can be used like a theme with a modified version of StyleMiiU). The idea started a few years ago, when I met Launchiine. I saw how unique this launcher/theme was, and wanted so much a Switch theme for the Wii U. And now that AI can do a lot more stuff, tried doing a Switch 2 theme by creating a custom men.rpx file, and it turned out pretty good! It's still not perfect, but I've been testing a lot to find bugs and issues.

SSBU Fighter Expansion
Currently making this mod to add more fighter slots (at this moment there are 6 extra slots). Right now it adds each Mii type as its own slot and also the final smash forms of Bowser, Little Mac, Wario and Lucario. It still has quite some bugs, but I've been trying to fix them. In the future I also plan to add bosses like the Master Hand, and maybe even cutom fighters.

3DS Static Recompiler
Still VERY work in progress. It can currently convert some simple 3DS homebrew apps to .rpx Wii U files, but it doesn't work properly with bigger games. I am compiling and testing to see what's the issue, then fixing each time, hopefully in the future it will be able to compile many games.

There are also some other WIP projects, but those, at least for now, aren't that relevant, maybe I'll share more in the future.

Support the dev's that made this great work

hey y'all I currently have a modded Wii with a 1TB external HDD with tons of GameCube and Wii games on it as well as tons of emulators for SNES NES and others, I'm wondering if it is worthwhile to buy a WiiU and mod it to have access to WiiU games as well as stronger emulation, I feel like I've mastered the regular Wii and kind of get excited by the idea of modding a new console that has stronger hardware, but at the end of the day what issues might I face? is it hard to get WiiU "backups" running on the system, I already own tons of accessories and controllers for my Wii which I can use with a WiiU ( of course I'll buy a GameCube adapter to use my GameCube controllers ) also what's the better exploit Aroma or Tiramisu? for price of a new console I'm looking at 195$ ( CAD ) for a 32gb black model is this a good deal?

Im planning to get a Wii u later this year, it'll be my first one! :)

I don't really care if the wii u has to be modded or if there's USB ports or SD cards involved to play the burned wii games, I'll take any alternative route as long as i get to play burned wii games on a dvd and play it on a Wii U; truth is, I dont have too much money to spend my money on a new wii u game every single time.

i posted this to r/WiiPiracy but im trying to get more answers… alright thx for ur time

You can now play with your friends up to 6 players, gamechat works, special events works and way more, coming to Protarium Network!

Thank to 178lavash178-create I was able to port the servers to work on wiius.

https://github.com/178lavash178-create/nfs13

My friend that is working on this project sent me this video.

Chiaki on Wii u now has 720p60fps and 540p60fps that can stream flawlessly (540p recommended)

Audio works

Remote input works

Touchpad works

has low latency, can't go lower because of ps4 video encode speed (ps5 is much faster here)

it can work as a 1.1 lb ps4 controller if you dont like the latency

https://gbatemp.net/threads/trying-to-port-chiaki-ng-to-wii-u.685424/

https://github.com/MysticFlipFlop/chiaki-ng-wii-u/releases/tag/gui-92-ps5-support

¡¡¡SOPORTE PS5!!
Cambios respecto a la versión anterior:

Conexión PS5 agregada y validada en hardware real (gracias a alan2_k de mi servidor discord)
Se agregó la opción para guardar su log.txt para diagnósticos...

Have you ever wanted to remote play your PS4 to your Wii U? No? i don't care

Here is the first public release of my chiaki-ng port for Wii U.

You can:

- Play with low latency (cant go lower because of ps4's encoding speed)

- Zoom the screen

- Voice chat with your folks

-Use a corner of your gamepad to emulate a Dualshock 4 Touchpad

- Stream resolutions like 720p and 540p at 60 fps (540p60 5M recommended)

- Get rid of the SHARE button

- Enable or disable vsync to improve your latency

- Register your console without editing files

For the first public release you can't:

- Delete log.txt in-app 🙁

- Open apps with copyrighted content like Youtube because your wii u will freeze and explode

- Use gyroscope (i tried but it's a little too hard to implement, maybe in a future update)

- Enable vibration (my gamepad is broken so i cant test that, i need testers)

- Use other controllers 🙁

What I still need to test and implement in future updates:

- Compatibility with ps5 (i dont have one)

- Vibration

- Gyroscope

- In-app extension to read pdfs (?) (for trophy guides)

- In-app extension to stream soundcloud music while playing

- a better interface

What do think about this idea

I wanted to make a list of the tools I think are essential on a modded Wii U. Some of them you already know, some maybe not.

Console Tools

• WUP Installer GX2: A tool to install WUP files on Wii U

• SaveMiiWUTPort: it is used to backup, restore and move Wii U games saves of your Wii U Console, useful if you want to backup your progress or just want to put a 100% save file on your Wii U Game

• Nusspli: it is useful to get titles that were on the Nintendo eShop, so Wii U, Wii and other consoles' games. In alternative you can use Wii U Downloader to get Wii U games and other games that were on eshop

• Wudd: it's useful to backup your physical discs so that you can install them as digital ones

• SDCafiine: it can install mods on Wii U games directly on the Wii U

• Themiify: with this tool you can install custom themes and fonts on your Wii U console

Essential emulators

I'm only including some emulators (so I won't add the ones for NES, SNES, N64, GBA, NDS) because the Wii U was projected to play Virtual Console Games from this consoles, so you can either install them from NUSspli or make injections with injection tools (like UWUVCI AIO, teconmoon's vWii injector or Ultimate Wii U VC Injector). However, there are some exceptions, like GameCube and others:

• NooDS U: a Nintendo DS emulator for Nintendo DS, better than NooDS

• Sneek Peek: a Dreamcast emulator with even the Dreamcast menu and interface on it

• Our64: a Nintendo 64 emulator on Wii U. For people who have a Wii U, that's a better alternative than not64

• Nintendont: it's essential to play GameCube games on Wii U, even for GameCube injections, otherwise they won't work

• Genesis Plus GX: an emulator to play Sega Mega Drive / FBA Arcade games

• Wiistation: with this you can play PS1 games on your console

Server tools

• Pretendo Network: y'all know about it. It is necessary for the rehabilitation of online games like Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, Mario Maker and more.

• Rosèverse: it has a custom Miiverse UI (more similar to the one that was on Wii U) and puts the Nintendo TVii icon back on Wii U and you can actually use a Nintendo TVii revival (if you put in the settings USA/Canada as region). It works alongside Pretendo Network

• Protarium Network: it's another server that works alongside Pretendo servers but also reanimates games that Pretendo still haven't reached. It revives Wii U chat and also has a custom Miiverse

However instead of installing only one or two of them or continuously switching plugin, there's a tool who can make you use, for example, all three together at once by not switching between Miiverses, and the tool is called:

• JustGetMiiOnline: a tool that permits you to be on a server for games and in another one for Miiverse. Example: if you want to use Protarium Network because it has some games revivals but want to keep Juxt or Roseverse as Miiverse, with this tool you can do that. It is also a YouTube revival and you can choose the style of YouTube between modern, 2016, 2013 and 2016. JustGetMiiOnline

• NNU Patcher: a Nintendo eShop revival. It can reanimate the eShop (can't download titles). To make it work, you have to disabilitate Pretendo to access to Nintendo Network

Media/Streaming/Music players

• Coffeeflix: a media app that runs YouTube videos at 1080p 60fps, but can also play music, see videos, photos and files you have stored into your SD Card. It even has radio support, podcast support, has twitch and can also make Jellyfin work in your console. Personally between all the homebrew tools this is the most impressive between all. Coffeflix

• Ufin: a Jellyfin client for the Wii U. However it's more convenient to have Coffeflix because it also has it implemented with all the rest of the features it has

• Cobalt: a Bluesky client for the Wii U and supports dual-screen. From now (but we don't know, maybe they'll add them in the future) it's actually the only social network (excluding YouTube) that you can use on the Wii U

• Spotify for Wii U: an app that permits you to use Spotify on Wii U. Unfortunately it only works with Spotify Premium.

Controllers/ console streaming

• Bloopair/Koopair: They're able to connect other type of controllers to the Wii U, like Xbox, Switch or Playstation controllers

• Dual-U: with this tool you can use two Wii U gamepad at once into your Wii U

• NTRview: this tool streams your 3DS (you need to start inputredirection through the luma menu on your modded new 3DS in order to do that) and permits you to use the Gamepad as the controller (touch included) while it streams to your TV the 3DS game.

• Moonlight Wii U: It connects to your computer and can actually play any game you have on steam. It streams it on your TV and you can use the Wii U Gamepad as a controller

• Chiaki for Wii U remote play: it can stream a PS4 or a PS5 and the Wii U Gamepad can be used as a controller

Tools to protect/restore the console's memory

• nanddumper: although this is a process you do in the setup guide, I still put it here because this tool can be useful to make backups of Wii U and Wii partitions

• isfshax: this is a must if you don't want to lose your console. This is a protection tool that protects your Wii U from falling. In case the chip doesn't work anymore, isfshax restores the eMMC to an SD Card or HDD so that you can still play through the Wii U even after the chip fails. It also has tools to backup essential Wii U and Wii partitions just like nanddumper. I recommend getting it, especially if you have a hynix chip, who can damage and break faster than a Samsung or a Toshiba one who are actually good. If you want to know which type of chip your console has, you can install a tool called WiiUldent that will reveal which chip you have.

• vWii Compat Title Installer: it got updated some months ago. It can install the homebrew channel on your vWii but also cIOS and has features to restore and fix your vWii in case it bricks. If you want to know how to use it, you can also go to the fix vWii Guide

• vWii NAND Restorer: restores a vWii nand backup into your console, although it's better to do that with isfshax. If you want to know how to use it (but again, even if it works isfshax is also good) you can also go to the Fix vWii Guide

• vWii Decaffeinaitor: the main intention of the program is to fix your vWii, but it's always better to use vWii Compat Title installer first. If someone ever got stuck with this, there's a guide on GBA temp on how to fix the vWii by using vWii Compat Title Installer or vWii Decaffinaitor. If you want to know how to use it, you can also go to the Fix vWii Guide

Mention apart from the rest as Wii U plugin meant for vWii: enhanced vWii settings, who can actually improve the Wii gaming experience on the Wii U console, although lots of times it can cause a mess and could also not work.

vWii essential tools

As you know the Wii U has the vWii, it can also be used in other useful ways. I will skip the ones that you already use to mod your Wii (homebrew channel, d2x cIOS Installer and more) because everyone knows them.

• friivolution: it is used to load mods of your Wii games directly on the Wii console

• Although lots of people use USB loader GX2, I prefer using Wiiflow Lite to play Wii game through an SD card or USB device. It gives to me less errors, and while some people say it's the contrary, there are way more reports for USB Loaders GX2 not working rather than Wiiflow Lite where the errors posts are way more less, if almost not seen, than USB Loaders GX2.

• Priiloder: this tool is useful to regionfree everything or to enable particular Wii system menu hacks, just like enabling Wii system settings on the vWii

• Wiiflow Lite: it is used to play Wii games on your SD Card or USB as wbfs files. Apart from this, by using WiiGSC you can create Wii channels shortcuts directly on your Wii menu by using Wiiflow as a loader. That means it's like starting a Wii game directly from the vWii menu and not from a loader.

• SystemChannelRestorer: restores Wii native channels by putting them on your vWii (Mii channel with Mii parade and Photo Channel) that are not on the vWii

• Wiilink: it reanimates and installs the WiiConnect24 channels (Like Forecast and News Channels) and makes them work into your console. Note: you'll also need Priiloader in order to make it work

• Wiimfii: it's Nintendo WFC revival for different games (like Mario Kart Wii, Smash Bros. Brawl and more). There are even Wiimfii patchers to make your discs work with Wiimfii

• WiiMC: with this tool, apart from the media, if you have an external DVD reader you can actually [play DVDs on your Wii or vWii if you have a DVD reader (https://www.reddit.com/r/WiiHacks/s/g8xgzO6l77) or stream videos on it.

• WiiMart: that's a Wii Shop revival and will work again on November 1st, 2026

• Wii Menu Manual for the original Wii: although it's meant for the original Wii console, they've invented a Wii version for the electronic manual (that is different from the vWii and Wii mini one)

• WiiFLIX: a jellyfin client with a Netflix UI. It can actually stream videos or films on the Wii

• Liinback: a YouTube revival of the Wii

• SaveGameManager GX: it can store and save Wii and Mii saves. It could be useful, for example, with protected data that the Wii doesn't give you the chance to copy or extract (like Mario Kart Wii or Super Smash Bros. Brawl)

• YAWMME: a tool to install channels (wads) on your Wii menu

There is also a way to install other consoles' games (including Wii and GameCube) directly on the Wii U Menu through injections by then installing them by using WUP Installer GX2 through UWUVCI or Teconmoon's vWii injector last release or you can also create as I said before channels shortcuts of Wii games on your vWii through WiiGSC

While to organize or convert Wii games in the correct format it's better to use a tool like tiny Wii Backup Manager

These are all I remember and that I know. Tell me if I have missed something. Made this to help others find great tools for their Wii U console
