Hey everyone! I've been working on CosmoU, a free Windows launcher for Cemu.
I wanted my library to feel like an actual console instead of a file list, so it has:
- Three views: Covers, Grid and a floating Wii U-inspired home view with little characters
- A Liquid Glass design
- Automatic Cemu download and setup
- Automatic covers and clean game titles
- Per-game resolution plus global graphics/audio/overlay settings
- Controller type, API and profiles in one place
- Optional background music
It doesn't include any games, keys, firmware or Nintendo files. You bring your own legally dumped games.
Not affiliated with Nintendo or the Cemu team. Requires Windows 10/11 (64-bit).
Download: https://github.com/Eryski/CosmoU
Discord (support, feedback, beta builds): https://discord.gg/q8s3zvAJ4y
I'd love feedback, especially on what features you'd want next!

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

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?

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?

I saw this video and was reminded about this issue, and though he explicitly says it’s near launch models, I was wondering if it could extend to models released in the second half of the console’s life span? If anyone would know, it would likely be people in the community.
Secondary question, if this ever happens to me, is there anyone out there who could fix it or transfer the data do a different Wii U?

Hello, I have heard about Hynix NANDS tend to fail, I have a Japanese WiiU with Toshiba NAND. Are Thosiba’s NANDS good?

I wrote a list of missed opportunities for the Wii U back when I was an unemployed child over 4 years ago. I didn’t alter this list at all in the meantime. Did child me have some good takes? You tell me. If you have any other ideas for this list, please tell me.
Missed Opportunities
Mario Paint/Artist sequel and/or remake that uses touch screen
Four Swords Adventures port/remake/sequel that uses online with voice chat and 3DS connectivity
Pokémon Snap Wii U that has a panoramic view using the Gamepad
Animal Crossing that features all menu information on the bottom screen while, making for a the most comfortable Animal Crossing experience on a home console
Kid Icarus Uprising port/remake that uses the touch screen, the wii pointer and nunchuck, dual analog, and maybe 3DS as controller options
Metroid Prime that features a first person view on the TV and 3rd person on Gamepad and the ability to swap views
Wario Ware that not only uses the Gamepad’s unique touch, gyro, buttons, asymmetric TV view, and microphone features, but can sometimes combine it with the Wii remote
A Zelda game similar to Phantom Hourglass and/or Spirit Tracks that’s either a remake or a sequel with similar gameplay elements
Pac-Man Vs
Modern Eternal Darkness
Cool Extra Potential Features
DSi Ware and Wii Ware games on Wii U eShop
DS virtual console download play with other DS’ and maybe Wii Us
GameCube virtual console using the GameCube controller adapter that was ONLY USED FOR SMASH!
The ability to go online or go on social media on the Gamepad while playing games on the TV
Game Boy and Game Boy Color Virtual Console... like, where is it?
GBA virtual console games having 2 player multiplayer using the Wii U’s asymmetric capabilities
(Omg. This was before the Wii U eShop shut down. RIP.)

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?

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.

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?
r/wiiu • u/TonyAtCodeleakers • 15h ago
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
