Wii U Homebrew 101

Disclaimer

The post is barely a collection of tools for my future reference, and will NOT get updated as I maintain it inside Obsidian now.

It contains content including:

  • How to exploit Wii U to run custom firmware
  • How to backup NAND used when Wii U NAND corrupt
  • How to run legitimate games in Cemu one dumped from Wii U
  • How to recognize different ROM formats

However, it WILL NOT tell you:

  • How/Where to download pirated games
  • How to install unauthorized game copies on Wii U
  • How to do persistent exploit using Haxchi
  • How to do resource unpacking of Wii U games
  • How to run DOOM on Wii U (without the use of Virtual Console)
