for starters, THANKS! this and your other video, HUUUGE helps. You made the process real easy. One thing to note, about copying games to a HDD Drive to store them as apposed to the NAND: - download the games to the SD card like its shown in the video - insert your card into the wii u, and have your HDD Drive plugged in when you boot up - format the drive to the wii u - go through haxchi, then go into wupGX2 installer - click on your games, updates, DLCs, hit install - install to the USB drive (HDD Drive). This will install to the drive, not the NAND (the system itself) - after install, power the system down, remove the SD Card - reinsert the SD card into your computer, delete the game from the SD Card (as its now installed on the HDD USB Drive). - Repeat the process to install all your games. You are basically using the Memory card as a transportation device between your computer, and the HDD Drive plugged into the WiiU. I was stuck on this for a long time. Read comments, tried other videos, etc, didn't get really anywhere. Hope this helps others.
You have literally saved my life today. I watched your video of how to mod our WiiU. We had one years ago but id been wanting another one for a long time. Got mine from GameStop for $100. Salesman asked why i wanted one so bad, answered, its just fun for us and our kids. Today, you helped me mod and install our first games. Without you, this would all still been a distant memory. Thank you so much!
Man thank you this video may be 4 years old but it’s still holds up and I am happy to say I can play all of my old video games I remember having when I was younger
hey man you’ve honestly saved me hours online scavenging for usb games which I found very few of, and also having to manually find and replace title keys which are even more rarer to find.. now I’m finally able to enjoy my wii u! thanks for guiding us peasants to the light with your amazing tutorial.
This is crazy! Thanks. Wii U is literally the best console for Nintendo's Archive to everything before the Switch and it's cool to be able to play them on the tv or gamepad. It's the best console for Nintendo emulation.
Just want to say a huge thanks for your videos, you've taken me from knowing nothing to being on to it and having a jailbroken Wii u in the space of couple hours. Thanks!
5:04 For those confused that don't know where to place the update and DLC files in the "install" folder: You place the files below where you put the Game data, do not place the update and DLC files inside the Game data files. I for one do not know what happens if you do put the update and DLC files inside the game files. Putting the update and DLC files below the game worked for me, if you wanna risk it and do the complete opposite then go ahead.
@@ozzyshowmid5648 So far people said that emulators and homebrew on 5.5.5 work just fine. So I think you are okay, to download the program! The 5.5.5 update states that it provides "Improvements to system stability and usability", we are unsure what else they put into this update.
@@kolbymiller603 You put the items from the eshop folder into the install folder, just like the DLC and Update items. The eshop folder is for games exclusively released on the Nintendo eshop.
I’m new to this kind of stuff, so please don’t judge me. I have a few questions. 1) Is this safe? 2) Does this have discontinued Wii U games/apps removed from the Eshop? 3) Is this for my Wii U console? 4) if so, can I run 3ds games on my Wii U? I understand some of these questions may be extremely obvious, but please help me out here. Thx :)
PLEASE ANSWER PRODUCER (DREWTALKS) I'm kind of a noob. Why do you advise to unpack with Loadiine if you're dragging and dropping unpacked games into the install folder to install with WUP installer in the video? This confuses me. I'm doing this for the first time and I'm pretty literal so, though WUP installer is recommended over Loadiine online, I'm just wondering if this was a mistake?
I hope one day they will be able to make a program to just transfer the games to an External Hard Drive. It will stop all the double copying from SD card to Ext. HDD. I know someday a programmer will figure it out.
U did a great tutorial but u didnt tell us where to put the downloaded wiiu games /in what folder/do we make a folder that says games,dlc,updates or just drop the downloaded games in the install folder? Then install using what app ...does would be very helpful you should do a short prt2 explaining just how get the games on external hard drive once downloaded Thanks
Another great walkthrough!! I had just finished the previous video on how to hack the WiiU and at the end I was like wait but what about the games and then this video came along. So for the WiiU we just use the WUP by loading the game on the SD card and installing it to the usb we have connected. Is there a walkthrough on loading emulators and how to install them? Or does wii U USB help have those too? Awesome videos thanks again.
i have not got that far yet but id dare say try google wiiu homebrew and download emulators from there and then put in your wii app folder on usb. or download the mulators from the homebrew ch on the wii itself
best way is to install it through the Wup Installer in the homebrew launcher. If you haven’t set up homebrew yet, do it. It’s quite easy, most tutorials will likely recommend you download a version of wup installer too so you should be fine but if they don’t, just look up a download for it and put it in the root of your sd card. It’s automatically go in the right spot.
can you explain more about the 'unpack' you're talking about? like there's dlc, update and the game. do i have to unpack each file for breath of the wild? Or is that just the update and the base game only?
I watched the haxchi video, installed it cold boot, ive now followed this one, but how do i play the wii and gamecube games ? Do you have a video showing that ? Thanks
The best method I found to playing Wii and Gamecube games was making injects for it so I can store my Wii u games with my other system games as well. Just search up how to make Wii and Gamecube injects and the first video is an extremely clear and detailed tutorial.
@@SMGAnimations I had many issues with Wii Backup manager and USB loader on vWii. The injector I use called TeconMoon Injector has built in Nintendont so I didn't have to worry about all of the possible issues. Also with the injector it runs wii and gc games as virtual console so you can have 1 hdd with all your games no need for 2 different ones.
Thanks for the help, this video is great and even works now! Just wondering how you would go about playing/installing CFW such as Super Paper Mario ect
So I see on the list theres also gamecube and wii games, would we be able to simply follow this same process for installing those? I feel like it cant be that easy can it?
@@GrandeGio95 hey, didn't get a answer but the process is the same as the full game. Just put the dlc or update in the folder with the games, making sure to remove all logos and non A-Z letters. Then install it the same way, you have to run mocha each time before installing them however, hope that helps?
@@MyFootballfootball So I have been successful in installing the updates and games via WUP but when installing the DLC it says that it needs a signature patch. I followed Drew's video on how to mod but I dont remember messing with Mocha. It's on my SD card and on the Homebrew Channel but I've never used it. When I turn on my console all the installed games show up as little icons and I just click and play them; no special loading of any other software or anything because I modded my system with the Brain Age game. So could someone help and guide me on how to install the DLC and also would I have to be running any other software everytime I want to play the game WITH the DLC? Or once I install that's it and I dont have to mess with it again? Thanks.
Brofessor Al-Jaida-Salami You have to download a custom firmware app. I have mocha cfw which allows me to install dlc and play games that are only available on the eshop. Once you get mocha, all you do is run it every time before installing dlc and the download will start. Something to know is that you can only play dlc once you launch mocha cfw so every time you wanna play a game with dlc, u have to launch mocha cfw first and then once it takes you back to the home menu, then you can press on the game with dlc and it will open
Hey! I have a question. So I have jailbroken my Wii U, and I’d like to access the eShop in order to get the Botw DLC. However, I thought I heard something before about jailbroken Wii U’s being unable to access the eShop (and therefore no DLC). Is there a way that I can buy the Botw DLC with the jailbroken Wii U, or do I have to start over with an un-jailbroken console. (Which I’m willing to do, I just want to know if it’s still possible to get the dlc.) Or if you know where I can go to get that info, that would be awesome!
hey question about Wii, N64 and other games do we need to run some kind of emulator on Wii U or just copy it and run it like we would with Wii U game Thanks
Does this work with Tiramisu? I know WUP Installer works with it as I've used it for older games but not sure if it works with WiiU titles specifically.
How do i add the the udates and dlc to the games???? Do i add the updates to the game file and replace then ...do i add the dlc files to the game file?? Please help😁😁

Hey Drew!!!!! Have u done a vid on installing WiiWare games on your vWii/WiiU? Because I've done it but there was a region error msg after installing the wads. So I dunno be pretty cool to have it.

Quick question after installing the game on sd card and going to install it using homebrew they ask usb or sd i don't have a USB but my sd card does have over 100gb so is it possible to just press the other option ?
This is an older video, but I'm hoping by commenting here I can still get help. If I have an external HDD for Wii and Gamecube games, do I need another External HDD for Wii U games, or can I install them directly to the Interal HDD or Nand (i think they are the same thing) and use just the one External HDD for Wii and GC games?
I download and decrypt games off Wii U Downloader and transfer them to the install folder on my SD card but WUP Installer GX2 refuses to detect any games for installing... Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...
I modded Wii u a few years ago but i lost the Sd card, so is there anyway i can get the files back for a new Sd card again to allow me to play my wii ubackup from the USB again, i can still see the HDD thing on the wii u games menu but it does not see anything on usb.
installs on usb from sd. use a USB stick or harddrive (need special cable with duel usb for a harddrive). use software to format sd to fat32 if your using a larger card than 32gb. the wii u will format the usb drive. it boots from the usb stick/harddrive.
Does anyone know if you have to format your flash drive to the wii u to install the games there? Was hoping I could use the same fat32 one that has my wii and gamecube roms, thanks
I have a hacked wii with the haxchi and cbhc cold boot. Can I install Wii games straight onto the same hard drive as the Wii U games using WUP GX installer? Also, does haxchi count as CFW? (Wanting to install dlc’s and such but don’t want to brick the console). Any help would be appreciated.
How could I get this to work on soft mod ? And if I have homebrew channel not homebrew launcher does that mean it’s not completely jailbroken and can’t use this ??? Thx
Hey Drew love your videos. Is there an easy way to add games to a WII? I have Wii units and would like to set them up with games for my daughter. T. I. A..
If you’re talking about just downloading games to a Wii with home brew then a good video is from shouldr, (yes spelt exactly that way) I think the name of the video was something along the lines of “how to download free wii games” but you need a computer and an SD card. A good place to get free games is at vimm.net they have most Wii games !!
Whenever I tried to install games from the USB helper to my Wii U, it would softlock, I watched this guide and I'm hoping this fixes it If not, is there anything I should do to fix it?

for starters, THANKS! this and your other video, HUUUGE helps. You made the process real easy.
One thing to note, about copying games to a HDD Drive to store them as apposed to the NAND:
- download the games to the SD card like its shown in the video
- insert your card into the wii u, and have your HDD Drive plugged in when you boot up
- format the drive to the wii u
- go through haxchi, then go into wupGX2 installer
- click on your games, updates, DLCs, hit install
- install to the USB drive (HDD Drive). This will install to the drive, not the NAND (the system itself)
- after install, power the system down, remove the SD Card
- reinsert the SD card into your computer, delete the game from the SD Card (as its now installed on the HDD USB Drive).
- Repeat the process to install all your games. You are basically using the Memory card as a transportation device between your computer, and the HDD Drive plugged into the WiiU.

how
for updates and DLCs we do the same drag them to the Sd card and install them with WUP to the USB?
Where is the "install" file, i go to my Wii u SD card and i couldn't find it.
You have to make your own. Pretty sure to do this, you'll have to follow a video of how to hack/mod a wii u.
All you have to do is make a simple file in the as card does t need to be anything special
@@go4th349 k thanks!
I already have a bunch of wiiu games on pc for emulators, is there anyway to just use these instead of downloading again?
Yeah I'm gonna download "Backups"
Quick question after installing the game on sd card and going to install it using homebrew they ask usb or sd i don't have a USB but my sd card does have over 100gb so is it possible to just press the other option ?
How long is it supposed to take for the games to install?
This is an older video, but I'm hoping by commenting here I can still get help. If I have an external HDD for Wii and Gamecube games, do I need another External HDD for Wii U games, or can I install them directly to the Interal HDD or Nand (i think they are the same thing) and use just the one External HDD for Wii and GC games?
I heard that they format differently so you will need two HDD's for wii and wii-u games.
@@victorvillacis6764 i know that, but was wondering if I can put wii u games on the console itself
@@SkyeTheNerd ohh I see what you are saying, that is a good question. I'm not sure. Try it out.
@@victorvillacis6764 too scared of bricking the consooe lmao
@@SkyeTheNerd lol i'll try it for you, just gotta figure out how to install wii and gamecube games first to vWii
I download and decrypt games off Wii U Downloader and transfer them to the install folder on my SD card but WUP Installer GX2 refuses to detect any games for installing... Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...
i know im abit late to comment but can you use usb helper to download Nes snes n64 gc or wii games or just wii u
Is there any way to configure usb helper using a Mac or is Windows the only way to do it?
did you ever find a solution?
I modded Wii u a few years ago but i lost the Sd card, so is there anyway i can get the files back for a new Sd card again to allow me to play my wii ubackup from the USB again, i can still see the HDD thing on the wii u games menu but it does not see anything on usb.
Will I be able to use my saved games from owned discs? I spent hours cleaning my BOTW disc and it still craps out.
Do u drag and drop the DLC and Update folders into the "Install" folder on the Wii SD?
one question: what if i want to install dlc/update to the game? do i just simply have to drag it over the folder aswell?
Does it boot off the sd or usb? Or does it boot from the wii u once installed? Does that mean you are limited to the 32gbs of storage on the wii u???
installs on usb from sd. use a USB stick or harddrive (need special cable with duel usb for a harddrive). use software to format sd to fat32 if your using a larger card than 32gb. the wii u will format the usb drive. it boots from the usb stick/harddrive.
Does anyone know if you have to format your flash drive to the wii u to install the games there? Was hoping I could use the same fat32 one that has my wii and gamecube roms, thanks
I have a hacked wii with the haxchi and cbhc cold boot. Can I install Wii games straight onto the same hard drive as the Wii U games using WUP GX installer? Also, does haxchi count as CFW? (Wanting to install dlc’s and such but don’t want to brick the console). Any help would be appreciated.
haxchi does count as CFW. Wii games I am not so sure. I am only familiar with injections. I would go that route for Wii games
so how you install the games is the same for updates too?
Does this still work for a hacked WII U?
Do you think there will ever be a way to put the games on the Wii U without copying them to an SD card first?
I have many questions but first is how are you going to put a 15G file into a SD Card? Impossible! Your tutorial say format SD card Fat32 right?
there are tons of third party apps like FAT32formatter than formats cards and drives past Windows limitations
How could I get this to work on soft mod ? And if I have homebrew channel not homebrew launcher does that mean it’s not completely jailbroken and can’t use this ??? Thx
When I try installing the game it says verify wup files are correct and complete dlc/eshop require sig patch
What do I do ?
Hey Drew love your videos. Is there an easy way to add games to a WII? I have Wii units and would like to set them up with games for my daughter. T. I. A..
If you’re talking about just downloading games to a Wii with home brew then a good video is from shouldr, (yes spelt exactly that way) I think the name of the video was something along the lines of “how to download free wii games” but you need a computer and an SD card. A good place to get free games is at vimm.net they have most Wii games !!
Whenever I tried to install games from the USB helper to my Wii U, it would softlock, I watched this guide and I'm hoping this fixes it
If not, is there anything I should do to fix it?
Do you just use the same installer for the updates or do they not get updates?
How do I just drop a game file I already have into it? I need to do that so it will transfer to my install folder on my sd card.
