I don't think you can currently backup your nand, I think we're waiting on an IOSU exploit (as well as that for USB drive support)

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Wii U hacking no longer even requires a PC.

So you can actually put GameCube discs in the Wii U drive and it reads them??
Edit: missed a few replies, seems like the answer is yes, excellent.
Well, then this has to be in the op. Thx for the heads up, will check.
No you can't, but you can stick them in a Wii and rip them to an SD card, then use that SD card on your Wii U.
You can also rip them on a Gamecube, but it's a bit harder to set up than on a Wii, and you have to do it over network rather than to an SD card.

I mean...the very first line of the thread is...
But point taken, I'll add a link in the OP.
Ahh ok, still not bad, option 1 sounds easy enough.
It is. I did it back in 2014 when I got orders to Korea and didn't want to take another system with me just for GC games. The release of the GC adapter made that decision much, much better.
There is, the Virtual Console one. Just buy a DS VC game on the eShop, rip it to a PC, replace the ROM file then put it on the SD card. You can even change a hidden setting to make the games run at a higher resolution.
Could be a nice way to have my disc-only games (the ones from Activision and others that never came out digitally) available without the discs. Games that I bought on disc that have a digital version I've already re-bought on eShop or will do so when they're cheap enough.
Now to find out if this method will allow me not only to rip disc games but also digital games out of their DRM, so that I'm not in trouble when my console dies and I need to move to another one.

Wow. No game required to do the hack?
Can you play gamecube discs with this? Probably not.

No, but you can if you hack your vWii. You need a wii game for that, though. Like, one of Smash Bros Brawl, some Lego games, etc.

Well poop. What about uncensored Xenoblade X and Mirage Sessions? Can those be discs and have the patch on a usb hard drive, or does everything have to reside on one SD card? Cause all I have is an 8gb lying around, but have a 500gb usb drive.
Also, I go to the website and am not seeing a drop down menu. All I get is related links for wii stuff, ads.

Such good news. One thing I loved about the Wii was how easy it was to mod.
I hope it was worth it...

What on earth is censored in Xenoblade?

I think it was designs for characters that were changed around.
Aka, the censoring actually makes them better by making them look less dumb.
Nothing. It was localized/edited. It was not censored.
The underage 13 year old is less naked in the west version.
I think you have to backup them first, so yeah probably not worth it, as they're going to have worse loading times and no online for Xenoblade X. Maybe someone who has actually tried to run the uncensor patches can say.
Couple costumes for all, couple costumes only for Lynlee, Boob slider for your own character. I think that's all?

Maybe I'll try some disc dumping tonight
Be prepared, I haven't seen anyone hitting over 950KB/s, disc dumping takes a long time and it'll stay that way till we can dump straight to USB.

One question, if I hack my wii u will i still be able to access the eshop like normal and play online without risks of getting banned?

Again I ask, I'm not seeing a drop down menu. Only related links for ads.
Yes, just reboot

So I need an SD Card?
I can't use my HDD?

Multiple outfits on Lyn, the fundoshi costume for all characters, and the breast size slider for character creation was removed.
Right, the hack does not have access to the USB ports so you need an SD card; ideally a Class 10/UHS-I for best results.

You're using the browser on the Wii U right? It's literally the first thing that appears right in the middle.
It might not show up if you're not on the latest version Firmware (5.5.1).

I mean... this question was just answered 2 posts above yours.
Darn. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

How about DVD playback? Always drove me nuts they omitted that on both wiis
Yes to both the injections and the filter. N64 compatibility isn't too hot though

iirc, the Wii U disk drive isn't actually capable of reading DVD's. And no, Wii and Wii U games are not actually DVD's, so that's not the same thing.
Certain earlier Wii's were capable of reading DVD's and could play them through homebrew, but it was taken out in later models, and Wii U's never had the capability.

MPlayer CE is a piece of Wii homebrew software that lets u play DVDs
Thank you, I ended up hacking mine and everything works great. It's so easy too.
Do we know of a way of removing the dark filter in N64 games yet, or is it still being worked on?
Edit: Hold on, I always found it weird that people complained about the supposed dark filter because I never noticed it in DK64, and now that I'm testing other games... Is it really only present on the Wii U pad? Lol because I have no interest in playing these on it at all, so I'm okay I guess.

The biggest hurdle there is IOSU hacking (essentially custom firmware). We've had several people who've shown work on it, but we've had major people drop out of the community and the remaining people seem unwilling or unable to share their work.
For some reason, i can't install the homebrew launcher (or any other homebrew) in my 32GB SD card (when i select any homebrew, the installation bar appears and closes instantly), but i can in my 1GB SD card.
I've already tried formatting my 32GB card with other tools and i still can't install anything. Is there a list of compatible SD cards that i should check?
