You can also use two candles instead of the sensor bar because it does the same thing that the sensor bar does. The sensor bar is just two inferred lights that lets the Wii remote triangulate it’s position, thus allowing it to determine where the pointer should be on screen.
my sensor bar just was broken and i was super scared i wouldnt be able to play my old wii games i haven’t played since i was much younger!! so happy, thanks :)
Thank you so much! We had little knowledge and got a second hand Wii U for small kids. We didn’t know how to set up the Wii games correctly but your directions have helped immensely. 👍
THANK YOU SIR!!! The first tip is EXACTLY what I needed! I was wondering what I had to do in order to make this happen. 2020 and people still searchin'!
WiisleyU Games I still think it's cool how you can still connect tonnes of old controllers on the switch but obviously not the old games because its cartridge
Hello bro, a question, can the games that require WII motion plus, such as wii sport resort or wii play motion, be played with the wii u remote? Thanks and good video 
Very neat trick, never knew about the sensor bar on the wii u gamepad and the B - button bypass to the wii menu at startup... thx a lot. The Wii u still surprises me after 5 years - what an awesome console, still love it :)
Right that's a cool shortcut instead of waiting for the load I bought mine used I can't read the instructions unless I download them but who does that haha.
Thank you your amazing I wanted to play my Wii today and sadly I couldn’t cuz of the sensor bar then you made this and these tutorials help me and others play video games
If you press X when on the WiiU menu you can swap the display between the TV and the Gamepad, All the tiles will then be on the gamepad and you can then open the wii menu and select the option for TV and Gamepad using the thumbsticks or the touchscreen totally bypassing the need for the classic controller.
this actually help me so much i recently got super paper mario today and i sensor bar was not working so i knew it was broken but this help me so much so i'm so glad this exist thank you so much for making this video😂
I have tiramisu custom firmware and it allows me to boot directly to the Wii menu without having to boot the Wii U firmware at all. Does this work as well?
Thanks! My Wii U is now connected via a Receiver in the back of the room so the sensor bar won't reach the TV, but using the wireless gamepad as sensor works!
that controller you hooked into the wii remote, was that usb or proprietary? wanted to do it with a usb controller but can't find one that is female usb to male Wii remote.
But of help please I can’t do the first wag as my wii u is chipped it doesn’t bring the wii menu up it gives me 3 options none work is there another way
Is there any way to get this to work with Wii games purchased on the Wii U eShop? When I open the Wii menu on the Wii U, there’s nothing in the disc. I don’t have the disc version of the game because it was purchased digitally, so is there any way around that?
how did you get the quality to look so clear clear like that for the old school wii? i've tried everything to get the resolution on the regular wii to HD but i can't figure it out? help please!!!
@@moneybabeh8982 because it's being played on a Wii u, if you are using an original Wii on a hd TV use component cables if you TV supports them or try a HDMI adapter
Thank you so much! You just save me a few bucks and the time it would've taken for the sensor bar to ship to me. Now I can play Sakura Wars V with no issues!
Here's the thing this video helped me so much because i don't have a Wii sensor bar and it would only let me use the game pad but now it shows on both thanks Vince
Hi, I am so sorry. I am behind on so many other projects that I am taking a break from eBay for a while. There are other eBay sellers that have the VDSL cables for sale and some of them sell good stuff. Realistically I think it will be another 4-6 weeks before it is open again. Thanks and apologies. Vince
I knew about the pro controller etc, but never ever heard of the b at the logo thing....The Wii U might just be technically the best Nintendo console ever....
1. Make sure your wii u is turned off 2. Turn it on 3. Wait for the wii u logo 4. Then press and hold the B button dont remove your finger from it until you hear like a bleeewwwep sound
Thanks. I been trying to figure out how to play using the TV. I bought my daughter just dance 2020 for wii but she has a wikI and couldn't make it show up on the tv.hopefully this works

Yeah just candles are a bit more dangerous if you have children using it

Thankyou so much please take care
God bless you for that
I knew about using the gamepad or classic controller but I had no idea that you could hold B on startup and go straight to Wii menu
@@indigosunflower7793 because you didn't transfer
@Rambo panda both
Thank you Vince, I actually didn't know the Wii U had a built in sensor bar
Lol me 2 i think nintendo didn't knew too cause they included a sensor bar in the wii u box which is weird
It doesn't, its picking of the light from the gamepad and wiiu as a light point,
@@anubis9116that’s what a sensor bar is
Thank you for this video. Spent hours trying to figure it out before I found your video. Thank you
actually the best person ever. solved everything. thank u so much even after so many years
You have saved me some troubles with this! Thanks!

Thank you so much! We had little knowledge and got a second hand Wii U for small kids. We didn’t know how to set up the Wii games correctly but your directions have helped immensely. 👍
You can also use a flashlight to add it on top of a tv to point your wiimote at it,so the icon will appear from the screen from your TV screen.

THANK YOU SIR!!! The first tip is EXACTLY what I needed! I was wondering what I had to do in order to make this happen. 2020 and people still searchin'!
It’s nice you don’t have to use that damn sensor bar. My cats always go for the cords like it’s toys and I tel them no and they’re like “huh?” 😅😂😂
But the wii u screen has to be on to use the wii bar inside ?
2:07 he did the wii remote but he is aimaing it at the wii u
Now 2024...November. lol
when i press the b button on wii u screen, it comes out the option to choose payload default, fw_img_loader, nanddumper. what do i choose?
i don’t think you can because your wii u is homebrewed
I love all of the controller and game compatibility Nintendo consoles have
daniel aldersson or had, before the Switch
WiisleyU Games I still think it's cool how you can still connect tonnes of old controllers on the switch but obviously not the old games because its cartridge
daniel aldersson Switch dont accept old Controllers, It only accept keyboards, there is no retrocompatibility on the Switch at all
and ethernet adapter I think
The food
Thanks man you really saved my life I didn’t have a sensor bar period but I had a game pad so that really relieved me.
If you don't have a classic controller and the game is digital does this work?
Yea it should
Tysm I couldn’t find my sensor bar this helped me so much :)

You literally made me the happiest person on the earth.
Does nunchuck work as well since it has a thumb stick?
This was very useful, I had no idea the gamepad had this function.
If you press X when on the WiiU menu you can swap the display between the TV and the Gamepad, All the tiles will then be on the gamepad and you can then open the wii menu and select the option for TV and Gamepad using the thumbsticks or the touchscreen totally bypassing the need for the classic controller.
Doesn’t work for me, the options for TV or TV and Gamepad show on the TV regardless
Are you sure? The options are displayed on TV regardless for me
Thanks for saving us $10. We do appreciate it.
I tried option one and for some reason it is not working for me.
What is the adapter cord called to go from wii controller to pro controller, & where can I buy it
So cool. I love using the Wii mote & nunchuck w/ gun accessory for the on rail gun games.
2023 and i just decided to let some kid play skylanders but couldn’t find the sensor, god bless for letting this child have a great childhood 🙏
this actually help me so much i recently got super paper mario today and i sensor bar was not working so i knew it was broken but this help me so much so i'm so glad this exist thank you so much for making this video😂
Thanks. (I lost my sensor lol)
How do you get the classic controller ,The Wii U that I got didn’t come with it😔?
Does it also work to play wii u games that need wii remote like nintendo land or mario party 10?
For those of you that have the quick menu on your WiiU gamepad, I found disabling it made the first fix work.
Thank you soooo much, my sensor bar ordered is coming in late and not being able to play Glalaxy was killing me!
THIS HAS CURED SO MUCH OF MY FRUSTRATION THANK YOU
Can you save your process in the wii u when your on the wii game
Yeah I have a few Wii games on my Wii u and some pirated GameCube games.
I have tiramisu custom firmware and it allows me to boot directly to the Wii menu without having to boot the Wii U firmware at all. Does this work as well?
When I was playing my wii u today the sound on the game pad lagged do you know why it only did it twice and has not done if since?
maybe an issue with bandwidth
Thanks! We thought we bought a Wii U and couldn’t use it until the sensor bar comes in.
Wii u continues to amaze me.
I have a sensor bar and i can't get it to show up to select tv and gamepad. Even after i have it configured.
Thank you. this video helped me so much and it's the only one I understood his explanation is so good
Thanks! My Wii U is now connected via a Receiver in the back of the room so the sensor bar won't reach the TV, but using the wireless gamepad as sensor works!
Very good tip.
Do you know if it's possible to turn off the Wii U gamepad screen?
Hello great guide!!Can this be achieved with the Wii U Pro controlller as well???
No
This seemed to work out for the most part, except that the audio only comes from the gamepad when I do this.
that controller you hooked into the wii remote, was that usb or proprietary? wanted to do it with a usb controller but can't find one that is female usb to male Wii remote.

The wii is made in 480p so it can’t do HD. Sorry ik it sucks
@@sunsetgaming7712 its ok, but thanks tho for the pointers and tips!

How can i do it with the wii sensor bar only?
This didnt work for me, so I looked for a stand for the gamepad and i found a sensor bar! Thanks dude
Thank you so much! You just save me a few bucks and the time it would've taken for the sensor bar to ship to me. Now I can play Sakura Wars V with no issues!
Can we use the pro controller for wii games? i hate sensor bar and nunchuks
No
Sorry for long reply but you can use the classic controller / classic pro
It says error has occurred press the eject button, remove the power off plz help me😭
That means the disc cannot be read
Thanks 🙏. My boys found the console and I was struggling to connect it and forgot it has sensor

How do you know how to do this my mate Vince?
great vid , clear and understandable thanks
Hi Vince, when will you be opening your eBay shop again? You said you'd be closed until the 29th August... need that VDSL cable!!!!

Ok my biggest question is do you sync it the same way as the wii
Press the red button on the Wii U
You saved my life brother
God bless
Just ran across this. Didn't know you could do this. thx Vince
Thanks so much dude now I don't have to buy one of those dumb annoying sensor bars!!
Hi mate vice
Donny Boy not if you buy it used
I knew about the pro controller etc, but never ever heard of the b at the logo thing....The Wii U might just be technically the best Nintendo console ever....
Wow 😮. I have the Wii U on day one, good to know in 2022 👍
How do I open Wii games that were on the home page
thanks i never knew i can do it
Can you do it without a Nunchuck?
Pretty good if you want to use a capture card on the Wii mode and you don't want to point the wiimote at the TV.
Are you using the wii or wii u classic controller
Draçø Ian he’s using Wii u
It's 2018 and I still have a Wii U and I love it!
thanks bro you really save me
With the cabled controller part, does it work with the nunchuck?
No
When I try to hold b during the startup. It doesnt work
1. Make sure your wii u is turned off 2. Turn it on 3. Wait for the wii u logo 4. Then press and hold the B button dont remove your finger from it until you hear like a bleeewwwep sound
Ive had the same problem
I have the quick start menu so the Wii U logo doesn’t even pop up until I chose something from the menu..😕
@@india.hilliard you have to turn it on by console not the gamepad, hopefully you figured this out a year ago
Hey vince do you stock a 4 port rj45 single gang wall plate?
Thank u so much love this video ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Earned a subscriber
Can it work with a nunchuck
this works on dolphin?
Actually, to get the Gamepad sensor bar you don’t need to hold B. You just need to start with gamepad or only gamepad
Thanks for one million subs
How acess wii menu with only gamepad?
When i try this i get to the point the wii mode is turned on then the screen flashes for a second and the wii u turns off
I’m upset that he doesn’t have 1 million subs.
It worked so well thank you so much I subscribed to
Vince I love you
You can also use a candle, witch works for everyone
i can use wireless pro remote?
Thanks. I been trying to figure out how to play using the TV. I bought my daughter just dance 2020 for wii but she has a wikI and couldn't make it show up on the tv.hopefully this works
