Well yeah, because that's how the emulator is designed.
But you can copy and paste and make as many of them as you want for as many games as you want.

Do it yourself!
Really! It's easy! And it's awesome!
Like I said, this isn't even worthy of being called rom injection. This is literally just renaming a NDS ROM and putting it into a zip file. That's all you have to do, other than changing the loading graphics and icon if you wish.

Will this exploit enable stuff like emuNAND or installing whatever you want on your homescreen? Or are we not there yet?
Cool cool, I'll have to check this out on Sunday or somethin, Nintendont was amazin enough.

I'll patiently await the noob guide for this!
But you need an installed DS virtual console for it to work ?

I wonder how long it is until Nintendo patches this out.
Well yeah, of course. But I would say it's worth buying any game considering it will allow you to play all of your collection in the process.
Us in the UK at least all got brain training for free,so that's one option!
I've posted the noob guide.
You go onto http://loadiine.ovh on the wii u browser and it loads the homebrew channel from your SD (I posted the link above). BOOOM, HACKED! It's basically the noobiest exploit ever.
Load up the ripping app I also posted above and choose a title to save to the SD (a DS game).
Follow the steps I wrote just above to put a new ROM in.
Load it using loadiine gx (link over on gbatemp, it's a backup loader).
Done.
Make sure you set your DNS in the Wii U network connection settings to 107.211.140.065 to block any further updates for the time being.

is 5.5.1 the newest update?
only thing that's holding me back is playing mario maker online
can i also run my existing games off a hdd like the wii softmod?

Yeah, dump the game and replace whatever tracks you want.
The entire soundtrack is in one folder all in the lovely brstm format.
Same goes for any Wii U game really.
I'm aware of the replacing stuff, but I know people have added more My Music slots to say, the FF7 stage. More interested in that.
Awesome. That's great to hear... but remember that this is just a kernel exploit. Don't be content with just that. We still don't have a (public) way to access IOSU. Once we do, we we'll be able to do everything without the need to run the kexploit every single time. We'll be able to boot things from the Home menu, create emuNANDs, access USB storage...
Like the 3DS, but on Wii U. Hopefully Twi and others can get it working and release it soon.

Yep.
You still can, as long as Nintendo doesn't update. And even if they do, I don't know if you need the latest system update to play games online. I think it varies from title to title and that you could play online with the latest game update, but I'm not sure.
Nope. As I said above, the kexploit doesn't have USB access, just SD. IOSU will remedy that... once it's completed.
Alright, just to confirm:
I'll update my Wii U right now to the latest version.
I'll head out to buy some Nintendo bucks.
I'll buy one VC game of each platform, so I'll have all the emulators.
I'll click the site on my Wii U to install the Hack along with the homebrew channel.
I'll spend the rest of the week ripping all of my old games, inject them into the downloaded VC titles (and fiddle around with the gamma values).
Have I forgotten anything?

Is there any reason to stay on 5.3.2 rather than going to 5.5.1 ATM ?

*Now entering patience mode*
So, you can back up legally paid retail WiiU games on USB now ?
chrominance

Dunno about USB, but you definitely can over wifi. I'm using ddd right now to dump Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (hey, it was already on my Wii U, why not). Next I'll probably try dumping a game that actually works in Cemu, or barring that, one of the Wii VC games maybe? Hopefully it works like the DS VC games, though I'm not holding my breath.
EDIT: Just realized it might not be clear from my post, but as far as I know ddd also works on retail discs. I just haven't tried one yet because I'm lazy.
Don't worry, IOSU will be released on Dec. 24th, 2015!
No, seriously, you better have a lot of patience. These things, they take time...
You weren't kidding, it's really easy.
I got a .nds dumping Kawashima though, tried to replace it with FF XII Revenant Wings and it works.
Now I can replace Golden Sun GBA with my dump since the eShop version is English only, sweet!
afaik, yes it does.
anyhow...http://gbatemp.net/threads/hid-to-vpad.424127/
usb HID support. Including keyboard and mouse. Yes, Wii U now has k+m support for fps games.
wheres the bloody wii u homebrew OT, ehhhh?
Rich, what base game are you using to "inject" DS titles? I am using Mario Kart DS, but I've read that later games (like Advance Wars) have better DS emulators. I've tried injecting Elite Beat Agents and it seems to work flawlessly (only did a couple of songs though), but The World Ends With You hangs after the first battle... Do you suggest to try with a more recent version of the emulator?

What do you need to change to inject new ROM? I've dumped Mario Party 2 and I want to get GoldenEye working.
That's a lot of work when you could just get a rasberry pie.

Wait, people can play modded games online now? They can play any game with a keyboard and mouse?
Basically what I'm hearing here is Splatoon is ruined. Probably Mario Maker too if you can easily upload impossible courses.

Rasberry pie can't do WiiU gamepad off TV play?
yes you can
and well, it means I may actually buy splatoon now that I won't be forced to play using the bulky gamepad. I can play it now using a dualshock 4 or a kb+m. That's awesome.

For DS games you can also upscale.
Native res:
Forced 2x internal res:
I'm curious if the opposite (forcing 320x240 native res) can be done for N64 since is having 640x480 as native res on wii and wii u virtual console

Forgive me because I've been out of the loop with Wiiu.
I havnt updated my wiiU since xmas. Is there any advantage to being on the older firmware or should I just update ASAP?

Update right now before it's too late.

It's actually horrible for people who enjoy playing online without hackers ruining it, but whatever.
The emulators and stuff doesn't effect my enjoyment of my games, hackers junking things up online does.
El Pescado

That makes me feel a little better.
I'm not a fan of homebrew on active platforms after the way it effected the lives of the DS and PSP, but as long as it doesn't effect me what do I care.
Like I said before though, people messing with online games I'm playing is like a pet peeve of mine. I struggle enough with Splatoon playing against people who are obviously communicating in some way, I don't need people cheating too.
D'oh!
I wish Nintendo removed the NES blur and corrected the gamma, but I also have all those games and an Analogue NT.

Won't stop people from using the other control method though. The emu stuff is interesting. Can you do the same with SNES titles and has anyone tried Star Fox and Yoshi's Island like previously asked. Removing the NES blur would be cool.

I'm running to my Wiiu !
Any idea if this works for N64 as well ? To be clear, I need to buy at least one N64 virtual title, I can then inject my roms into this ? I could even have a icon per game ?

Even if i'm on 5.0.0 ?
Try the link, see if it works. If it doesn't, go to 5.5.1
I can't remember if 5.0 is supported.
Edit: 5.0 isn't supported. Update now.
No it can't, but with an LCD and case that has a controller in it, you can use the Raspberry Pi as a self contained handheld that runs off a battery and take it anywhere. It's smaller and easier to hall around than an entire Wii U.

This changes everything; being able to play my DS games on the TV is something I've been after for a long time now.
...you're entirely missing the point.
And I'm talking as someone who knows more about the ins and outs of the raspberry pi than most people (I've built my own consoles before, I have one for sale in the BST thread). What you are suggesting requires quite a lot of technical know-how, lots of money, lots of time and dexterity with physical hardware.
It's not even the same goddamn ballpark.
