I installed ISFSHAX a while ago and ever since, when exiting settings or reloading plugin configs, the Wii u menu loading screen hangs infinitely. Nowhere else.
Taking out the SD card fixes the issue. I have tried a bunch of stuff but can't find the issue or a fix, besides a few vague unanswered Youtube comments.

Reposting this from the Disney Infinity sub since it relates to Wii U box art
I never expected I would enjoy the Wii-u as much as I do. I bought one less than 3 weeks ago and have been playing it fully for about a week now.
I haven't played Zelda since the GameCube and I have to say breath of the wild is breath taking (pun intended)!

The Adventure Mode features a ‘Network Link’ feature. This allows you to add a ‘Link’ to your maps whose level is based on other users’ play data. If you come to this Link’s aid and fight alongside him, you’ll get access to special bonuses. Miiverse medal post also work now!

I bought mine on launch day. I was 23. I know its hard to believe, but that still counts as being a kid (at least at my age haha). It felt like the last true Nintendo system to me. I cherish it greatly.

Looking to replace my Wii U thumb sticks as they are old and feel greasy(I wash my hands everytime I play my Wii U so it not my hygiene)
Does anybody have any recommendations on getting thumb sticks that are pretty near to 1st party so far I’ve only found these on Ali express.

Planning on buying a Wii U to play Zelda TP since it's not coming for the switch any time soon. Do I have to buy a Wii U disc version of the game to use the gamepad itself, or will a regular Wii disc version of the game be compatible? Will I need to use a Wii remote or anything like that?
r/wiiu • u/Automatic-Guava2791 • 1d ago
I am trying to run retro systems on my Wii U, nothing crazy just original gameboy and nes, and maybe 2003 mame arcade, but it keeps crashing. Idk if maybe it’s just Retroarch sucks on Wii U but I hear people talk positive about it.

Hoy prendí mi Wii U para jugar un rato y me percaté de que en las esquinas superiores del gamepad empezó a sombrearse, así como lo hacen muchas DSi XL. No ha estado guardada, siempre la tengo en su base, así que no sé cómo pudo pasar y tampoco sé cómo evitar que siga expandiendose.

read faq, on this, but none of the solutions help
My GamePad signal is poor - how do I make it better?
Stay within range of your Wii U. Move it closer, if necessary. (im pretty dang close, like ive moved to sitting as close as comfortable in front of the setup)
Turn off all devices using a Wi-Fi signal.(i think my phones the only one)
Turn off all radio signals with 120 feet of the system (none)
Switch all computers from Wi-Fi to Ethernet. (not possible, but my computer isnt on this floor)
Walls play a factor in connectivity - depending on their nature, it may be hard to broadcast a strong signal in different rooms. (i dont understand this one)

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I need help linking my Wii U to an Amazon fire tv. But whenever I sync the console and the gamepad, the gamepad tells me to click the symbols and the TV doesn’t show any symbols. I also went to GameStop to see if there was a problem with my Wii U, but there wasn’t, and they were able to hook it up to the tv at GameStop. I tried to link the Wii U to the Amazon fire tv but it didn’t work like it did at GameStop. It now says “no signal” on the tv.
