All these methods assume you have modded your vWii. If you have not, follow this guide here.

Info icon The Wii U can natively run GameCube games due to its hardware backwards compatibility with the Wii, however the Wii U is unable to read GameCube discs. There are still multiple ways to run GameCube Games, but a modded Wii (or GameCube) is required to dump the discs.

Dumping GameCube games:

To dump GameCube games from a modded Wii follow this guide here.

Method I: Nintendont

Info icon Nintendont allows you to load backups of your GameCube games natively on (v)Wii from an external drive connected via your Wii U's USB ports, or SD card.

Instructions

The process for setting up Nintendont on vWii is identical to that of the Wii's. Please follow the Wiki Hacks Guide page linked below.

Method II: Virtual Console Injections

Info icon UWUVCI allows you to inject any GameCube backup into a preexisting Wii Virtual Console title, package it with Nintendont, and install it to your Wii U's internal storage, or an external drive connected via the Wii U's USB ports.

Instructions

What you need:

  • A PC running Windows (VM's work, WINE does not).
  • The latest release of UWUVCI AIO.
  • Sigpatches on your Wii U.
    • Download 01_sigpatches.rpx from the github here.
    • Copy this file to your sd:/wiiu/enviornments/[Aroma or Tiramisu]/modules/setup folder.
  • The backup of the GameCube game you wish to inject.
