I'll tell you that you definitely brought life back to my Wii u I was going to sell it because I don't use it but now I'll think I'll keep it.keep up the good work
@@nothingtoseehere-vz4co I kept having the same issue. For me, I realized when you download multiple games from it, not every file downloads into the game. Check one of the downloads to see if there’s only a few files in it. Once I redownloaded the games a few at a time, it worked
Should be the same for the wii, they are both the same console, I have one hdd for wii u games and one for wii and gamecube. Since you can't really have all 3 on the same drive(outside of wii/gc vc), the wii u with usb loader gx will play wii and gamecube fine, everything else like vc, wii u games, etc should be in the same place, if you need to know where to get Wii U games/dlc/updates, you can get NUSSPLI or Wii U downloader.

Nothing appears on my wup menu. Install folder in lowercase on my sd root; wii u folder with wup in it; no special characters on the game folder’s name. It just doesn’t work
I have a few questions about this: 1: Is homebrew required in order to do this? 2: You mention you have games on your Wii U folder backed up that you will extract into the SD card, how did you get said files? Is there a way I can look for other files to extract on there? 3: How can I find files to extract to the SD card? 4: Some of the files I want modded in are downloadable content for a game already on my Wii U. Does DLC files still count as regular game files? As in, when it’s being downloaded on the Wup GX2 will it automatically get put into the game?
1. Yes 2. I don't know what you mean 3. The easiest way is explained in the video 'You NEED to Get THIS if You Have a Wii U!! (Wii U Downloader)' by this creator 4. Yes
I have a few answers about this: 1. Yes, aroma is recommended and he has a guide 2. He uses backups because he doesn't want to explicitly mention any rom sites. Use either 7-zip or WinRar to extract from the zip files. 3. Use a trusted site like Myrient, or ask for the page from someone who uses it. 4. Don't know, haven't tried yet.
Hey so I've been following your guides pretty much all day and they've been really helpful I'm just confused as to what the external hard drive is for and if I really "NEED" it or is it suggested. I have all of my games pretty much installed on my SD (128 GB) so with all that space would I really need the hard drive? could I not just install on nand instead of USB?
still tells me that theres no installable content found, been trying and retrying for the past 2 days and im close to just giving up totally and getting rid of the wii u
Quick question not really relevant to the video.. does the Smash Bros Ultimate GameCube Controller adapter work for Nintendont? Or would it only work for smash bros ultimate?
If its from nintendo then it should work. GC games should also work with it. You need to use a wii mote instead of the gamepad to deactivate the gamepad.
Hey scott, i followed the tutorial thoroughly and i thank you for everything. After i install the game from the WUP installer, it doesn’t appear on my home screen. Is there anything i can do to fix this issue?
Is it possible to just download DLC/Patches? I have a game I own physically that I want to play from a disk with the DLC and Updates downloaded through Homebrew, is that possible?
It says I have no USB storage attached. I have my Wii game on my USB drive and I use USB Loader GX to play them. I set that up with and old guide years ago.
Hey, i have a problem: when i put the game folders in the install folder and then go to wup installer it says no content available. ive already checked special characters, tried the usb helper method, none works. How can I fix it?
so if you chose Nand to install them would they go/stay on the sd card or just the internal storge? im just wondering how or if you can use the sd card to hold the games?
Says missing usb drive but I'm not using a y splitter I'm assuming this is the reason it's not being found? Also when trying to format to wii u storage it just keeps loading forever and doesn't format is that a y splitter issue?
Gamecube virtual console? I been looking for a way to use my gamepad to play them. Just use usb loader gx. That's what I do for using my pro controllers. Also just to confirm wiimote n nunchuck works but not well as the movements r also inputs.
what to do if it just sits at the installing screen and no progress is made? No bytes are being transferred to my external usb hdd. I have about 10 other games on the drive, i can access them, manage them, play them just fine. This used to work just fine for me. Now the install does nothing.
Great video! One question: If I already have wup installer as a channel on tiramisu, will it work with aroma, what should I do if I want to switch to aroma?

Hey scott! I used your guide and got my Wii U fully modded but i'm having problems with Wup installer. I keep getting errors like the one where it says no usb storage connected but i do have an external 500 gig hooked up with a Y cable. Then there's another where the install just fails to finish. Any advice?
Probably havent formatted the hard disk on the wiiu there should be an option in the wiiu settings. (If not formatted to the wiiu format the console doesnt recognize it) and when you format you will delete all of your files so take out the things you have in the hard disk before formatting

@@jasondillon2462 not sure, because if you have a flash drive and a hard disk wup installer probably wont recognize both, i recommend wiping the hard disk if those eshop files and game saves arent that important.
