Wii:EmuNAND

2025-09-23T20:27:33Z

Playerjmr: Make EmuNAND Page

EmuNANDs allow you to redirect the Wii's internal storage directly to your SD card or USB drive. This is useful because on the Wii, you are normally limited to the 512mb that you get on the console, whereas with EmuNAND you can theoretically one as big as youd like. This makes saving your games much more streamlined and even just being able to install more channels.

==Generating an EmuNAND==

What you need:
#An SD card or USB drive
#[[osc:usbloader_gx| USB Loader GX]]

#Select Miscellaneous Settings on the first page of the Global Settings tab.

2024-10-15T02:53:53Z

Playerjmr: Create Wii_U:YouTube

On October 31, 2022 YouTube started returning response 404 for the WiiU useragent platform. However, with [[wiiuguide:aroma/getting-started| Aroma]] custom firmware, it is possible once again to use the YouTube app on the Wii U.

Pretendo Network is able to run youtube from the Wii U menu as long as the NNID that you used to purchase YouTube from the Eshop is still present on the console. You can visit [[Pretendo |here]] to learn how to set up pretendo. After that, you should be able to launch YouTube as normal.

|-|Nintendo Network ID=

==Example Cheat File==

{{info|text= On Windows Devices, you may need to enable [[FILEEXT| file name extentions]] to see the complete name of the file.}}
Below is an example of a cheat file for the USA version of Mario Kart Wii. Create a new text file using your preferred text editor. Make sure the encoding is set to UTF-8. The filename for the text file will be renamed to the game ID that your game is for. In this example, it will be named <code>RMCE01.txt</code> Game IDs can be found on [https://www.gametdb.com/ GameTDB]. Make sure the Game ID for your region is correct. Inside of the text file, the game ID will be on line 1, and on line 2 will be the game name. Copy your first code two lines below the game name, making sure the name of the code is displayed first then the strings of hexidecimal below that. Seperate each code with 2 lines of space. Code author is not required, but crediting is always a good idea.

==Example Cheat File==

{{info|text= On Windows Devices, you may need to enable [[FILEEXT| file name extentions]] to see the complete name of the file.}}
Below is an example of a cheat file for the USA version of Mario Kart Wii. Create a new text file using your preferred text editor. Make sure the encoding is set to UTF-8. The filename for the text file will be renamed to the game ID that your game is for. In this example, it will be named <code>RMCE01.txt<code> Game IDs can be found on [https://www.gametdb.com/ GameTDB]. Make sure the Game ID for your region is correct. Inside of the text file, the game ID will be on line 1, and on line 2 will be the game name. Copy your first code two lines below the game name, making sure the name of the code is displayed first then the strings of hexidecimal below that. Seperate each code with 2 lines of space. Code author is not required, but crediting is always a good idea.

Wii:GBA Link Cable Usage

2024-05-03T02:53:19Z

Playerjmr: add clarification by deleting the word "wireless"

{{Shortcut|Wii:GBALINK}}

This page contains various tutorials that go over different homebrew use cases for the GBA GameCube Link Cable. All of these tutorials are compatible with the GameCube GameBoy Player attachment.

== GBA Link Cable Dumper ==

This app allows you to dump your GBA/GBA SP/GB Micro's BIOS and ROMs to an SD card or USB flash drive.

{{warning|text=The GBA Link Cable has a very slow transfer speed - if you have either a DS/DS Lite with an R4 flashcart or a modded GameCube with the GameBoy Player attachment, they are superior methods to this.}}

=== Requirements ===

* A model RVL-001 Wii console
* An SD Card or USB drive
* A GBA GameCube Link Cable
* A GBA (SP)
** If you are using a GB Micro, then you will need an extra adapter
* A GameCube controller
* The [[osc:gba-link-cable-dumper|GBA Link Cable Dumper]] app

=== Instructions ===

# Extract the contents of the <code>.zip</code> file and copy them to the root of your SD card or USB drive
# Insert the SD card/USB drive into the Wii
# On the GameCube, plug the GameCube controller into port 1 and the GBA Link Cable into port 2
# Remove any game inserted in your GBA/SP/Micro and then plug the other end of the GBA Link Cable into it
# Launch the '''GBA Link Cable Dumper''' application in the '''Homebrew Channel'''
# When prompted, turn on the GBA. You should hear a jingle after the bios screen if you did it correctly
