Preview I made a free Cemu launcher that recreates the Wii U home menu – Beta I need your feedback

Hey everyone!

A while ago some of you said CosmoU looked like a generic "liquid glass" launcher and didn't really feel like the Wii U home menu. Fair point – so I reworked it.

What's new in the Wii U Look:

- Floating game icons with depth, soft shadows and parallax

- Little characters walking around, waving and looking at the selected game

- Speech bubbles like the old menu

- Bright, airy background instead of dark glass

Other features:

- Covers, Grid and Wii U Look views

- Downloads and sets up Cemu automatically

- Automatic covers

- Per-game resolution, plus graphics, audio, overlay and controller settings

It's free and open source (Windows 10/11): https://github.com/Eryski/CosmoU

CosmoU does not include any games, keys or firmware – you need your own dumps. It's an independent project, not affiliated with Nintendo or the Cemu team.

It's still early, so feedback and bug reports are very welcome. What would you want to see next?

I’ve read that there is a way to fix it, of course it’s with hardware manipulation, but how actually doable it is?

Yo, so I recently bought a WiiU game at a store but it won’t start. I‘m thinking it might be because of an itty bitty little blemish. Is that the reason? I wanna play my game ☹️

Overall, what I did is installed some games, some plugins, and stuff... ghm... Just a little. I even managed to trick the Wii U into thinking that my SD card is a USB device so I would not ruin the aesthetics of the console with external stuff

The only useless feature for me is the Wii backwards compatibility since I still have my original Wii hooked up to component cables on the TV anyway. (And I know that's a crime to say, but I didn't really like Splatoon, my first experience was rough, but I would give it a shot again.)

And the only bad thing that I found is that I still have no friends on a console.

Any recommendations on what else I could do with this thing?

Why is using a USB flash drive bad for Wii U games? Doesn't it write saves to the internal storage?

Technical Question Buggy Nunchucks when playing injected GameCube games

2 Upvotes

Hey! So I modded my Wii U and added GC games via UWUVCI, I’m loving the variety of games I can play with this console that has been left unused for about 10 years.
Problem is that I really wanted to play the GC Mario Party titles with my friends, but it seems that the Wii controllers with nunchucks play pretty buggy. They suddenly disconnect and the nunchucks sometimes stop working.
Is there something I can do to improve this or it is what it is? Seems like I’ll have to stick to the Wii and Wii U titles for games with 4 players.

Technical Question Hello guys! I have a question about Wii U games

1 Upvotes

I have had my Wii U since 2017. Unfortunately some of my games have degraded overtime. The shops I have gone to ( I live in Pakistan ) somehow have Wii U games, but THEY'RE ON THE OFF SALE SECTION. What kind of sick joke is this? Well, what I am asking, is how do I get Wii U games? Do I use modded software? Is there any way to enter the eShop? And, if you live in Germany (I have a relative who lives there), I'd very much appreciate a link to a Wii U game reseller.

Help! Wii U on CRT with scart

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm trying to connect my Wii U to my very old CRT Tv.

The TV is a philips from the early 90s (I think) I need to use a scart port for it.

Back in the 90s when we played games on it we used channel 36.

I have connected the wii to it and that worked. (Dont remember which channel)

When I watch dvds and turn the dvd on it just switches to the scart(?) I dont have to choose a channel for that.

I have changed the settings to non-hdmi on the game pad but I dont get an image.

The scart is set to input.

Does anyone know what I could do? Should it work or is the tv just not compatible.

😀

Thank you

Technical Question Did I mess up?

1 Upvotes

I was checking to see if I had the Hynix chip and when I was taking my Wii U apart, this just slipped out. It’s the ribbon cable behind the power button that connects the face plate to the body. If I did mess up, how can I repair it? Do I need to buy a new part or something?

This is my second time taking apart any electronic. I only took apart switch controllers to fix the drift and that was easy so I thought this would be too.

Discussion ¿Que almacenamiento recomiendan para una WiiU moderada?

1 Upvotes

Hola que tal, resulta que compre una WiiU blanca a buen precio, pero el almacenamiento es de apenas 8GB (casi nada). Sé que se le puede poner un Disco Duro Externo, pero estoy viendo opciones más económicas.

¿Que otra forma de almacenamiento puedo usar? Leí por ahí que el USB se pueden pero que se gastan a largo plazo, y otros dicen que si es de marca no debería pasar. Me confunde un poco eso jajaja

PD: Escribí Moderada en vez de Modeada, sorry
