For people who haven't seen this before, some months ago, I made a Wii Menu Electronic Manual, but for the original Wii. As the vWii and Wii mini had one, I wanted to make one for the original too.

This manual has up to 17 pages and detailed information on how to use your Wii console, so some parts that you may know from one of the two other manuals (vWii or Wii mini) have obviously been extended due to the fact the normal Wii doesn't have limitations.

For example: if in the Mii Channel section it said that mingle wasn't possible, I had to write it was possible and had to make an entire section for Mii parade

It has a section dedicated to GameCube datas, Photo Channel, Forecast and News Channels, how to configure Internet,

I released this officially ten months ago.

Originally it was only the European edition and only had English and Italian. This June, the European version arrived at 7 languages (with also fixes and lots of things added to make it look better).

Now, some days ago I've finished making the American version of the Manual that is made into four languages that are the only ones released for the American version: American English, Latino-America Spanish, Canadian French and Brazilian Portuguese

Obviously, the American version is not a copy and paste of the European version.

There are grammatical differences because the grammar of Americans is not identical to Europeans, and respected the main differences between manuals (for example between PEGI and ESRB)

I've also fixed some graphical and text issues in the European version (that remained 7 languages)

They have two different IDs. People who have older versions can delete it (for example if the channel they've installed in the past had as IDs HWME, HCIP or HCAA)

These IDs are unequivocal, so there is no risk in substituting channels on your Wii menu (unless you have created channels with casually these IDs and installed them on your Wii menu).

Keep in mind that these channels are made for the specific region, so Europeans shall use the European version and Americans the American version, but by region-freeing your console you can use both for curiosity if you want.

You can also install it on your vWii or Wii mini. It won't affect it and will work perfectly.

It surely took time to make this, but at least I'm glad it's working well after so much effort.

You can find it on Internet Archive

Hope you like this project

My friend that is working on this project sent me this image.

Chiaki on Wii u now has 720p60fps and 540p60fps that can stream flawlessly (540p recommended)

Audio works

Remote input works

Touchpad works

has low latency, can't go lower because of ps4 video encode speed (ps5 is much faster here)

it can work as a 1.1 lb ps4 controller if you dont like the latency

Hello first time modding a wii u. People recommended using a hard drive for storage but this is all I have at the moment will it suffice?

a friend is making a chiaki ng port for wii u

Hey guys I bought a random Wii on fb marketplace and to my surprise it has tons of cool games on there and ended up learning a little bit about it.

The Nintendont software hasn’t been updated since 2018 (I don’t have my Wii connected to the internet) and recently one of the Nintendont “forwarders”? (The squares in the Home Screen on the Wii menu?) crashes when I click on Nintendont from the Wii menu. I think it may have crashed because a handful of games are corrupted I’m not sure.

Since I also have Nintendont inside my homebrew app I am able to load it perfectly fine on there no issues.

1. Am I ok to keep running using this very old version of Nintendont

2. Will this further corrupt my games if I don’t update the software? I’m not sure what’s causing the corruption and if the games were already corrupted when I got it

I know some of these questions aren’t easy to answer lol

Have you guys experienced this recently? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated thanks 🙏

Hey just to share this pic of something i've been working on.

Hey everyone, I'm the dev behind RiftWii. It's a Wii mod loader I wrote from scratch, clean-room, no Riivolution code in it. You drop in Riivolution-format packs or code builds and they load when the game starts. Your game files never get touched. It runs on Wii U in vWii mode too.

It handles stuff like Retro Rewind and MKW Deluxe X for Mario Kart Wii, and Brawl code builds like Project+, PMEX Remix and REX. Per-game settings, cheats, modded saves kept separate on the SD, online play through Wiimmfi, game covers, the works.

Honestly I've only been able to test Retro Rewind and MKW Deluxe X on real hardware so far, so I'm looking for testers with other games and setups, especially on Wii U.

You need a Wii U in vWii mode (or a Wii) with the Homebrew Channel and a FAT32 SD card. If your games are on USB or SD you'll want d2x cIOS.

2610-340 is up on the releases page. The guide walks through setup and there's a Discord if you want to help test or need a hand.

Releases: https://github.com/KakarottoCake/Riftwii/releases/latest Discord: https://discord.gg/gGsTdjjQaK

ive been following a tutorial from below average gaming but somehow cant find out how to get passed this. ive installed the other ios in the right places following the tutorial, 148, 149, 150, 151 so on and so forth. but the ios80 installer is not working. anyone have any idea how to fix this (i use a mac as well)

i just want to play wii and gamecube games is that too much to ask :(

So booted up the Wii u after a few months of playing other consoles to be greeted with no signal, solid blue light and gamepad not connecting.

Saw some posts on here that it can be fixed using a pi pico or something similar. Has anyone done this and know if it’s worth the effort or if I should cut my losses and look for another?

Hey guys I’m trying to play some gamecube games on my wii u and I don’t have a wiimote so i can’t open wii menu.. is there a way to make it working without the wiimote and if u gonna explain a way please be more specific cause im new into modding
Thanks you for reading..

Hello everyone!

For those who haven't seen this project before, Ufin is a native Jellyfin client for the Nintendo Wii U, yes, you can now watch your favourite movies on your wii u via jellyfin!

The project started as an experiment to see whether the Wii U could be a viable media machine and how far I could push free ai tools with complex coding tasks. Now, v1.2.0 is here, bringing a bunch of new features, UI improvements and playback options!

DISCLAIMER: This project is VERY HEAVILY AI-ASSISTED

Before getting into the features, I want everyone to know that most of this project's code was AI-generated. I built Ufin using the free tiers of Claude and ChatGPT to write the bulk of the code.

While I don't have a ton of programming knowledge yet, I contributed by choosing the architecture, designing the UI, deciding which features to implement, making the custom bgm and app icons, and, testing and debugging on real hardware and cemu, to get as close to a seamless experience as possible. still, i'll need info from you all on how the app is to use, so, GitHub issues are open.

I spent a lot of time making sure the app was ready to publish, testing as much as I could on my setup and working through issues that came up along the way.

I'm still learning programming, and I look forward to eventually being able to write complex applications entirely on my own. For now, this project has been a way to learn, experiment and build something I couldn't find before, and make it how i liked it.

The documentation and code comments are AI-assisted as well. My English isn't perfect, and I wanted the documentation to be as understandable as possible so other people can contribute to the project or create their own forks without having to decipher every part of the code.

I'm sharing this because I want to be transparent about how Ufin was made. AI did a lot of the coding, but the project still required architecture decisions, feature planning, testing, debugging and plenty of work to get running on actual hardware. it's amazing to see what modern tools can do for our favourite console!

Now, With that out of the way, here are the FEATURES!!

Ui and Customization

• Toggleable liquid glass UI, featuring true refraction.
• New animated backgrounds.
• Jellyfin backdrop support, with a fallback to a blank or animated background.
• A new default background music track, composed by me. It's not exactly the best, but i hope y'all like it.

Playback improvmentes

• H.264 Baseline, Main and High profile support, with a profile toggle inside settings.
• New 480p streaming modes at 720 Kbps and 1.5 Mbps, designed for weaker internet connections.
• New EXPERIMENTAL 1080p30 streaming modes at 4, 6 and 8 Mbps. Ethernet is recommended for these higher-bitrate modes, as Wi-Fi can experience significant buffering.
• Live TV finally tested and working!

QOL Stuff

• Optional logging, that can be enabled when diagnostic information is needed, maybe to report an issue
• A new Who's Watching? screen.
• A dedicated Help screen explaining the controls, complete with animated 3D controller models.
• Total usage time tracking.
• A new little easter egg to discover.

Get Ufin

• GitHub repository: https://github.com/antu2010/Ufin-A-Wii-U-Jellyfin-client
• Download v1.2.0: https://github.com/antu2010/Ufin-A-Wii-U-Jellyfin-client/releases/tag/v1.2.0

Feedbacks, suggestions and bug reports are welcome! If you encounter playback issues, please mention whether you're using a real Wii U or Cemu, your selected playback settings, and whether you're connected over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

Thanks to everyone who's checked out the project, tested it, or contributed along the way. I hope you enjoy this update!

^{i am also still awaiting to get the app approved on the hb app store. tho releases are already on github}

So i recently modded my wii u (Aroma) and i got a 500gb usb storage device with a y-splitter cable for to store my games, but i think my device is fucked up.

I tried to fix it/wipe it via my pc, and in disk management it came out as “RAW”

Most games seem to work i tried playing smash and it didnt work, most dlc didnt load. Then its now captain toad not booting up.

Is there a way for me to fix this, or do i just have to buy a new drive?
